well you can buy some MAISTO "high" quality product from zeller for like 40CND. but i wouldn't recommend this brand. Autoart is a much much better company but it does cost significantly more and it doesn't make the carrera GT (i think).

Did you raise the spoiler in second last pic? It looks like it's raised and I was wondering if the spoiler on my black Carrera GT would raise, but I was afraid I might break it. Mine is also by Maisto, how did you lift it up?

I don't think mine can lift up. It looks like it could, but it seems too hard to lift. Looking at my car and your car in the pictures, I have noticed some differences, eventhough mine is Maisto too. The differences I see are: my engine cover glass does not have holes, mine has air intakes beside the glass cover, my spoiler is not attached to the engine cover, it's attached to the back of the car, my door handles are at a different spot, my car does not have front fog lights, and my car has a red light beside each exhaust outlet. Also, my license plate is positioned differently at the front and it does not say Porsche, it is a German plate that says S GT 2003. I know that Maisto released a prototype Carrera GT when the car was first unveiled. That was before they released the production model GT. Maybe yours is the prototype GT because I know mine is the production GT, or maybe Maisto sells different cars for Europe than North America. Does your car have complete working suspension, including real springs in the engine, mine does. Thanks for your help anyways.

yes, that means uve got a production model. I know ive got the prototype, because of those back red lamps next to exhausts (i havent got them) and the dashboard from prototype. I think uve got indicators from the turbo (as in real). these days they have already this production version in my country too, but im not that rich to buy nearly the same model ....what uve got yet
