    Here is the DOTM Deluxe Barricade slightly modified and repainted. First I got rid of the light bar and covered up all of the hole including the mech tech hole using putty. I then covered if in flat black and then dry brushed with silver and aluminum. Added some copper highlights and some gloss black for the robot mode. For the car mode I sprayed with satin black. I wanted to do this after seeing a pretty badass looking Mustang on the road.

    That looks sinister - I like that!
    AND it's a helluva lot less noticeable than a police cruiser in a parking lot.

    I'll see what I can do.

    Wow, I like the look of this, reminds me of the cars Dom and Brian had in Fast five.

    Looks good! I'd love it if we'd get a remold of DOTM Barricade with the lightbar removed, a different head, and a few vehicle mode modifications, colored all black.

    I don't know if it would look better. I like it the way it is with the only mod being removing the light bar.

    Never know till you try. From a tuner perspective it doesn't make sense for a streed rod to have the police bumper, even the undercover cars skip them, but the paint work is great. Just my honest feedback. :)

    The push bumper looks fine. It'll look too tame, even if the car is supposed to be stealthy, without it.
