First, I must say that you did an excellent job on your rebuild. Very nice. I however, loved it better with the snowflakes on it. I never have been a fan of the Rally II's. Matter of fact my parts car has a set on it and I would love to trade them for a set of snowflakes. But, thats only my opinion. The only thing that matters is what you personally like. Very nice bird though! Can't wait till mine is done and looks fresh again. Awesome!

I think the rallys look great.
