Wow, thanks for that tutorial! I had no idea it would be so quick and easy to do. Unfortunately I still have the issue on mine where the rear lights spin a bit faster than the front, but there's probably not much that can be done about that.

some times you can try moving the silver center parts of the light bar, or try spraying in some teflon spray

Incredible mods man. Thanks a lot for your time to make this tutorials.
I'm in fact impressed how easy some of this are, and makes me wonder, why this isn't stock...

Ah wow, this was just what i was hoping for! Great work on these tutorial videos trueinfernus, very clear and informative. The option to have a switch for the main beam lights is something I hadn't even thought about doing but now after seeing this, I think it's something that must be done. I'm very impressed and will have to get modding soon, I'll get part 1 done later on and will purchase some cables and a potentiometer next.

After that, the only thing left is figuring out how to lift the grey lid on the light bars in order to offset the rotating lights.

 

[davejames]

It just takes a little bit of force to crack that middle section open. It's not glued on very strong, and there are no tabs or anything locking it into place.

 

[FlyAndFight]

Here is my part ! video. Hope it helps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nop_uE4PlOA

Excellent job! Makes a huge difference.

Can you please let me know which shelf is this? Or is this a custom made cabinet ?

Thanks

Is there a thread just for the figures, or is it all combined here?

Anybody have a Winston Zeddemore for sale? Doesn't need to be complete or have the box? Would like it to have the clothes, belt, and pack though.

those looking for quick LED for your cabinets can look for Wireless LED powered by x3 AAA batteries and operated with a remote. you can buy more lights and they work on the same remote. comes with On, Off, 2 Brightness toggle and a 30minute timer. The light is white though. You can tape it for me i just put it on top of the glass shelves facing down.

much easier than pulling wires for led strips and finding a power source. downside is since it's remote operated it will consume some power all the time.

Finally opened the ecto-1. It's a pretty big item. I'm a little disappointed with the quality control. I have glue residue and a black scuff on the hood. Not noticeable unless you're looking for it or the right angle. There's a defect on the mold of the passenger front fender. Extra glue near the drivers window and door from applying the red sticker (is it a sticker?). The engine compartment is extremely dusty, which is odd. I haven't tested the electronics yet.

My biggest issue is the dang windshield. There's a tab on the bottom edge near the drivers door that won't stay in place. It keeps popping out when I try to put it back in place. Anyone have a similar issue and was able to resolve? I'm afraid to apply glue and screw up the car.

Overall, pretty impressive on what they accomplished. Most of the things I found won't be noticeable when displayed. I want to fix the windshield though.

 

[Big Mo]

Yea that windscreen is a bummer, hope you find a fix for it.
Congrats on getting one. Mine arrives very soon.

 

[Rambler]

Are you able to put a small dab of glue from the inside and then press the windshield into that? The glue would be less visible I would think if done that way. Just a thought.

BBTS order just shipped. Between this and ‘66 Batmobile, I should be done with iconic movie cars for the time being. However, with the upcoming Snyder Cut version of JL, I’m now reconsidering getting the BvS Batmobile.
