As it's a cartoon not a real car I suppose there's no such thing as a "replica" although a gen 5 has a similar profile so could maybe carry it off? Pop up headlights are wrong though. Also it looks a bit like an MX6 to me.

My opinion is that it's a bit tacky to have a replica of a movie car, but each to their own. In most cases I think the standard car is much nicer: I'd love a 69 Charger but mine wouldn't have a nudge bar and rebel flag on the roof. Wouldn't mind a 3rd gen Trans Am but I wouldn't want loads of pretend computers in it and a red light on the front like KITT. Delorean or time machine, it's a long list. What does amuse me is tongue in cheek movie car inspired stuff: I've seen a Bedford Rascal A-team van, and yesterday on the M62 I saw a yellow van with a fin on the roof and big flower pots for rocket boosters on the back doors pretending to be Thunderbird 4!!! It made me smile but I wouldn't want to own it.

I think it would look ok if its thr right make and model of car, but since Lightning isnt a real model to me it would have to be an actull NASCAR to start with. Lightning is not a Celica, not even japanese so it not going to right whatever you do to it.

Thats why I think if you want to go down this route (and I love the idea) invent another character that could be in the next cars film. Could ave fun with this a ninja jap Celica with a sushi addiction or something.

Oh, you mean Ligtning McQueen

No idea what you're talking about.

Oh, you mean Lightning McQueen!

(rp caught with his own net har har ;):lol:)

If anyone here painted their car like LMcQ, they'd be my son's absolute hero. He tried to convince me to do it to my Prelude. :lol:

As said above, McQueen himself was done up like a Corvette later in the film, and he's not a Vette, so nobody can complain if a different car gets done up in his Rust-Eze colours. ;)

Any car done up in the Rusteze colours would be a kid's dream.

My grandson would go nuts.

I am about to get little Autobot stickers for my convertible because he says it's a Transformers car.

I say go for it.

You will be a local hero.
