I have used shoe goo on the inside before as it stays flexible. As for a replacement body there are several reproductions on ebay with and without decals.

Re: turbo optima mid se body
I'd probably go for a new body too...it won't break the bank.

This body also works, I chose this one for my OptiMutt build.

Re: turbo optima mid se body
Most of my bodies are TBG so don't get me wrong, but the holes will be off, and the fitment will be off from stock by a bit. The bodies are a tad smaller, and although it isn't a huge deal-DONT use the dimples to drill your holes! Ask me how I know

Re: turbo optima mid se body
I agree, Marwan's bodies are noticeably more detailed (you can see the body lines & cut lines more clearly) and will trim & fit almost perfectly. TBG bodies are all a slight bit undersized as his are bodies-molded-from-bodies, not made from actual molds. They'll work but require a bit more effort to trim them properly. On the downside, a shipped Marwan body is darn near a $60 body after all is said and done. It's worthwhile if you buy multiple bodies and have them shipped together, or if you're doing a shelf-queen; but for a runner, a little work and saving some money is also a good thing. Those are your pros & cons.

Re: turbo optima mid se body
I thought the Marwan bodies were also undersize?
I know the LWB Optima Mid under tray definitely is
I have a couple genuine Optima Mid bodies I will have to compare to the Marwan one sitting on my SE-X

Re: turbo optima mid se body
My marwan lwb opt mid body and tray fit fine. I messed up by using a lazer type rear shock tower which made the rear clearance funky,, but other than that,, the tray lined up fine with the holes on chassis, and body fit fine.
