This isn't new or revolutionary, just my take on it. Cobrastickers' amazing sticker set really sells it. Here are a few bad cell phone shots. And this windshield is kicking my butt. It's easier to put one in a real truck!!

The little details really do it justice. Using the the clear plastic is tough to get on just right but once you have done it it really changes the whole look. Love to see it when you are done.

Thank you. I take it you've done it before? What kind of plastic did you use if so? I'm using a clear donut container. And the glue is Testors clear parts cement.

You can try using scotch tape instead of glue. Sounds crazy but it works if there enough room for it to stick to something, then just trim it down.

Nice work on painting the fenders grey. To me, it just doesn't really look like a true Stinger with out that.

That was one of the parts I was really worried about but when I started masking them I realized I was overcomplicating it. They only needed really minor touch ups. Thank you for the compliment.

Yes I have used gi joe and other figure clear packaging as well as thicker stuff like cheap cd cases they are typically a little thinner than the average cd case and can be cut pretty easy to size. For glue is use clear gorilla or double sided tape works well too.
