I repainted the yellow limbs to black using a permanant marker. the yellow spoiler I painted blue and accented with black. I repainted part of the body and legs black as well and did a little work on the headlights. The exhaust system got a little paint as well. The gun is not an alteration the toy can already do that. Finally I did a little filing on both the hands and tailpipes so that he can hold them like swords. it's so obvious I don't know why hasbro didn't do this in the first place. the swords add a lot of options to the toy.
