For the diecast Eclipse? Because those are HARD to find.... I just spent like 10 minutes using Google and nothing....

If you mean the Probe kit, not too hard to find....

Cool Re: Scale DSM....

Worked on the front bumper.....





Still needs work....



Yes I know it is kind of sideways and uneven but, believe it or not, this is my first time messing around with a bumper like this....

Thanks for looking!

ive seen them on ebay every once in awhile. the ones ive seen are smaller then a shoe box so not to big. But i think they usually go for a pretty penny.

I remember when i used to do models. i also used to take apart hotwhhels cars and redo the interiors with needle brushes
