Does anybody know a good site to order the frewer bodies from? Most places don't have pics of them or they dont' have them in stock. If someone could send me a good site with frewer bodies on them that would be great!

Post ALL of your custom painted frewer bodies here (I know spoolin will have to show all his)

None of the big-time mail order places imports Frewer into the US as far as I could tell. SpeedTechRC (http://www.speedtechrc.com) has a select few though. Last time I spoke to them, they didn't have much confidence they could (or want to) get additional Frewer body styles than what they already had.

The shells are seemingly easier to obtain in europe and asia. I picked up a Frewer Z3 roadster shell while in HongKong (http://www.radiocontrolzone.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=116875)...

Their shells don't have a plastic overspray layer and don't include window masks. The decal sheet is about the size of an index card and is fairly wretched in it's illustration. There's more molded detail in this shell than HPI's Z3 roadster shell, but both are typical charicatures of the real thing. Frewer and HPI will fit universal 1:10 sized touring chassis (259mm wheelbase, 190mm width)

CarterTG I have the frewer integra (as seen many times) and that came with a fairly bigger sticker sheet and came with overspray film. I also got my body here in the states(sweet). I can almost have anything ordered from superior hobbies. They ordered my frewer body, it took a month, but it was worth it. IT took a month cause it was on backorder and it was coming from New Zeland. http://64.70.208.72/speedtechrc/107.html is where there is one(scroll down a little) right now its out of stock but i bet you it will come in soon.

im loving that frewer civic, but i cant say that in front of my frewer integra. It will go bad on me. http://www.radiocontrolzone.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=118557&highlight=finally+got+my+frewer+integra
that is mine. And in the best paint 3 youll find mine with an interior. I think frewer has awesome body detail but lack sticker detail. But the bodies make up for it.

sixandeightstringer, Did the wing come like that mounted to the body, or did you make that?
