It is the ONLY reasonable facsimile I have been able to find.

Well, you must have purchased the last black one! I ordered mine over a week ago and finally heard from them that they only have red and silver left.  Too bad I already had the silver to match my old Avy. Hope they refund like they said they would.
 
Tomcat,
U R Correct...Red is what they sent me too...
But,
If there is a Body shop close by...
Check and see if they are shooting Black on anything.

I had one of those...I Can't Believe I Just Did that moments... :oops:
Asked the guys if they would shoot 'em both...
Sure...
So now I got a Fairway Green AVY... :woohoo: in both sizes.

The "Toy" comes apart fairly easy...it is Chinese Made after all...
Screws and hot glue and a few melted spots...
Remove "everything"...Paint...
Back together with some CA adhesive, hot glue and screws reinstalled.

After market add-ons:
Bare metal chrome foil for the mirror housings, and Gold for the Bow Ties.
Couple of 3volt LEDs for the fog lights.

AVALANCHE Decals,
Take a Photo of the Avalanche Emblem.
Photo-shop out the chrome, make background your color...
Print on clear waterslide decal paper, seal with microscale clear.
Put the decals on Bare Metal Chrome Foil...
And,
Chrome Avalanche, Door and Rear Gate Markings.

And...if you have the patience...
Do the same for the Black Diamond Emblem....and your License Plate.

I tried to upload the artwork, but forum protocol prevents it. 

Cheers
