    That looks fantastic! I saw one on eBay a few days ago, but I held off. I guess I shouldn't have.

    IT is the original Elite F430 Challenge comes with... We only wash the original decal off, apply new decal and change some interior parts....

    Minor difference... it is not worth to spent 150USD more to get a super elite in my opinion, but many collectors might have different ideas

    Very nice. Do you sell just the decals?
    Also what do you use to "wash off" the original markings?

    Thanks!

    Does Mattel make a plain
    F430 Coupe in the "elite" series ?

    All that I have been able to
    find is the standard series F430.


    Thanks

    I don't think it is out yet, but if they come up with it, I will definitely NOT buy it unless they correct the wheels.The way they made them they would be something like 22" in real life.I would refuse to buy the super elite 599 too unless they put tires that don't look like they are pulled off a Cherokee with 16"wheels

    Hi Michael,

    I was just going back over this thread and can't find the answer to 'what do you use to wash the decals off?' question. Can you let us know?

    Thanks

    John
