LMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!! If I was ferrari, I would walk up to Isuzu and kick them square in the nuts. Isuzu has no business giving the nod to a supercar producer...lol. It would be like me dunking on an 8 foot rim in a pair of Air Jordans, and then nodding at Michael, like "whats up, I did that dunk for you"....lol.

Cracking up right now. Thanks

Chopper; Do you want to sell the 4 extra red thumbscrews for $20.00- shipped?

I have the JDM, which has a light grey interior. I bought the VX with 3 of the 4 already broken, so have voted for 3 black failures as this is closer to the grey.

I'm going to do the dowel mod before mine break.
Did you use a dowel wide enough so it was a snug fit or slightly thinner so the glue doesn't get scraped off as you inserted it?

I've got to get to glueing mine, I've had a broken one on a snug fitting dowel sitting in my living room for months. Once I glue that one, I'll do the other three. I'd use a tight fitting dowel, glue usually works better when it's not that thick. I'm planning on using gorilla glue, just hope it doesn't expand and break the plastic.

I agree that the Red/Black is too strong, but one member painted a good portion of his door panels black, with some red accents, and I thought it looked great.

I did find a solar battery charger on sale at Harbor Freight for $20. I need to paint the frame, but red/black owners would like the frame color. It is the same red/orange color that most of those cars fade to.

You all must be talking about those 4 big ugly bolts hanging out of my back door. I guess mine failed long ago and the previous owner improvised????

Ferrari trivia, The founder of Ferrari never watched a race with Ferrari's in it. He said he could not stand to watch one of his beautiful horses be whipped.

I would like 4 red or black. Mine are dead to me now.

if they break stick a dowel rod through them and some gorilla glue - worked great for me
