Hot Wheels: First Customs

I've collected Hot Wheels since I was a kid.  Only recently I've felt the need to change the way they were released from the factory.  One of my favorite cars is the E30 M3.  The original M3 born to handle and be road raced.  A few blog posts ago I posted the newly released 1992 M3, but I wasn't too thrilled about the wheels and the tampos were a little unnecessary in my opinion.  A few weeks ago, the Hot Wheels blog I follow announced a contest for customizing the E30 M3 release.  So now I have a little more incentive to do some customizing of my own.  I'm not expecting to win really, since I didn't get into door frame and headlight painting detail, but it was enough of a push for me to try customizing for the first time.  Below are the results of my work.  The hardest part was finding the donor wheels to use for the look I wanted.  They didn't turn out too bad!
