I thought I was the only one to wrap the front end of a LM with matte black vinyl
but it does look like an ABS front clip--

I've had a few EDM's with that scheme

Custom Built & Wrapped Slot Car body.

I built and made this to fit a rental car chassis. The plan is to have 4 motor homes and 4 buses for a benefit race this winter.

Nice EDM!

I actually painted the outside & inside of the nose with black pactra. If you dust the pactra on the outside it gets the texture and sheen of the ABS noses. Do not however paint the inside of the nose a different color because it looks horrible once you scrape it up a bit. (learned from experience!)

THAT'S AWESOME. Oh man I loved it. Looks like it handles a lot better than you would expect. I was looking for the cartwheels in the corners, but it was dialed. Very nice.
