So I was in target this weekend picking up a few things and like I usually do I make my way to the toy section to look around a little bit (I'm a big kid ). I was looking at the Hot Wheels to see if there were any new cars and right next to them were several of those new Modifiers toy cars.

I bought a CW ITR and took it home and played with it for a while. Kind of cool, has a body kit, SParco seats, Apexi N1 exhaust, AEM intake Volk racing wheels and most importantly a bunch of stickers . You have to take it apart to put all of the aftermarket stuff on.

It was fun for an hour or so, now it's a new addition to my model and toy car shelf.

Anyone else got one of these yet?

 

How much was it?

Edit: I'm a big kid too, did they have black ITRs?

10 bucks. They have PY and CW ITRs (they were out of yellow when I was there though), 1999 Civic Si's and 1999 Eclipse GSXs.

They're about twice the size of a Hot Wheels car.

 

cooo

 

I'll have to go check that out. How's the quality?

 

i saw em in mags and stuff, but didnt knwo they were in stores yet . . im gonna go pick some up after work
i have a nice little collection of hott wheels and these F&F type cars that you push wm down and they tuck the wheels and underbody neon stays on . i got a few for my friends son and i bought a few for myself.
they had hatches, tegs and focuses.
they are ricey but coollittle toys.

 

I bought the yellow "R" w/ a sunroof!!
The one i got was a pain in the ***, the screwdriver they gave me didnt fit the screws. The side skirts didnt fit right so i superglued it on, same w/ the sparco seats. I also painted the rims flat black.

After all the cursing, and thoughts of returning it to the store, it took me about an hr and I'd have to admit that i was pretty proud of myself.

The quality is pretty nice, the scale is 1/48. Chek them out here http://www.modifierscars.com/

I saw an add for those in a magazine and I showed my wife like a little kid... she just shook her head and walked away.

 

LOL, i did a similar thing and got the same reaction from my GF. But I was pleasantly suprised when she got me two ITR diecast (PY and NBP) models for my bday

They're tricky like that. No telling how they know, but they know
