I wish they would just release a plain white notch so I could make it into a WSP car. With WSP not being a "popular" department they only thing you can find is Road Champs Crown Vics....but you can buy the decals to make your own all day long.

+1. I have all of them except for Texas, but I can't see spending that kind of money on the last one to complete my set. I was also disappointed with the inaccuracies; especially the later LX 5.0 and GT sport seats.

I forgot to mention the GMP CHP also has GT fog lights. I wish my real SSP had those so I could put some blue or red lenses and a wig wag controller on them.

100% agree. I think the most I paid for any of mine was $60, and one I even got for free in a trade for some other parts from Jim Y.

I put together a complete set of the White Rose (Fleer) Mustangs, but I wish I would have bought a second set. I kick myself for not buying the complete set with the display case included.

I also have a Texas car with a lightbar, and the wrong color decals. I worked with the owner of the company to get that line started and helped him with some of the early prototypes....
