I am going to contact them as well. I have a sneaking suspicion they might be able to help me with something.

Very nice, I also like the g5 and the roadster, If they can do something like that with the base model......it would be a dream come true for me. Its nice seeing g5 and hxc and hopefully others coming up with aftermarket accessories.

I will have to see what mods they have to offer. That green car is a little busy for me.

Hey guys,
I can post pics on a new thread of a G5 T/A Challenger with our mods and no decals - even in another color? What color would you guys like to see - I'll swap in the G5/R wheels?
