I left the protective bumper on (I'm the kind of R/C driver it was intended for
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
), oh and BTW I just saw both of the vintage Matushiro R/C KITTs on ebay the other day, both the normal one and the SPM one, has anyone noticed that the SPM one has the exact same protective bumper as the Hitari? Weird!
I have also modified my Hitari KITT, I replaced the stupid yellow leds with much brighter white ones, I painted the non-functioning fog lamps white, and added the rear licence plate (though I want to do a better one, at the time I only had a pic of a replica plate that was on ebay, it was not straight and there is a reflection on it.)
The other thing I did was to add in a piece of gloss red card under the red LEDs. It reflects the light and makes the scanner light a bit more visible from above angles.
Has anyone modified the Hitari into SPM KITT yet? I'd love to see that.....
