Ok, lets see who can spot the defect first.. Hmmmm.... (http://www.diecastblast.com/product.php/wl2001 )

I was shopping around for diecast model cars when I stumbled upon a HUGE error in detail..If they put that much detail into the car then why would they......................


I dunno.....what's the matter with these people today?? DETAIL PEOPLE!!! IF you're going to make a model of a car, GET IT RIGHT!!! (it's the obvious one I'm talking about)


Beautifully crafted 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS diecast model car 1:18 scale die cast by Welly. This is a very highly detailed 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS diecast model car 1:18 scale die cast by Welly. Every details are well put together. Great collectible or gift piece. 2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS diecast model car 1:18 scale die cast by Welly is one of the best showcase model for any auto enthusiasts.
Not for THIS enthusiast!!! "Throw me a frickin' bone here!" Sorry, that's just funny!

thats rediculous...not only the wheels, but the SS emblems are supposed to be red if it is a black car, not silver...

I've looked at one of these in person, and there is something wrong about them, but also something different about this one.
1. I'm pretty sure Welly doesn't put the black car in that package. It's for the 35th SE version.
2. The front wheels were the ones on all 4 of the one I looked at. While these are the wrong ones, I didn't have major issues with it, though I didn't buy it either.

Aside from what's already been pointed out.

Isn't that the wrong rear bumper for an 02? Shouldn't this be the 02 bumper.

"the real 02 bumper" doesnt show up

After some more research, that's the SLP optioned bumper that came with the center-mount SLP exhaust. It was optional, but not standard on 02's.

Keep in mind this is basically a $27 18th scale diecast model. Quality isn't going to be high. Only real fubar that I see are the wheels. That's just plain stupid. Side molding? More than likely at that scale and price, they couldn't get a cost effective molding on there that was durable and looked good. Rearview mirror, injection molded one piece with mirrored tape, again not the most precise way to do things, but cost effective. Silver SS emblems, not cost effective to have a different set of emblems for a single car color, even if the only difference is the color (though it's more likely they just never realized the black cars had red emblems. Even if they did though, I doubt it would have been done differently).
