How can I improve my bodyshell?

Hi all,

 

Can anyone think how I can improve the look of the bodyshell? It's currently just sprayed black. I was thinking there's not really much else I can do to it apart from adding decals, but I've searched Amazon and Ebay and can't really find anything suitable. Anyone got any ideas?

 

Cheers

You not come across any sticker packs that take your fancy ? , what about a sticker sheet for a body you like and make it fit 😃.

I would buy some stick on vinyl in a contrasting colour and cut out my own shapes to complement the body, or as @Partydaz says, adapt an existing sticker sheet to fit

It looks cool black to be fair 😁...looks mean!

 

Whenever I see an all blacked out car reminds of a film I watched when I was a kid called Wraith.

 

Would put pics but its not working blooming work pc 🙄😆

I've searched google, amazon and ebay for things like "rc bodyshell decals", "rc 1/8 body shell stickers", etc but haven't been able to find anything suitable. All that comes up are either silly things or brand logos!

a thought, you can get Nitro Exhaust Gas Inline Coolers

You could maybe rig up a couple with Lines to make it looks a monster that needs cooling lines/fins

 

Decals tho would be ideal, maybe even scale stuff?

but decals certainly to offset the black

Yep I've been searching for decals. Searched on Modelsport and Wheelspin too

I’d be tempted to leave it black, but add leds under the chassis so that it looks like it’s floating on light. That would look proper mean.

 

Not sure how to go about it without the lights getting in the way, but I’m sure it must be possible.
