Can someone please give me a tip or two as to how I could attach side mirrors to the lexan body? Also, what kind of accessories do I need for this little project? Thanks.

Actually, that's where it helps to know some guys who own Tamiya cars. They include mirrors on many of their kits & body sets, so you could either buy a body of theirs, or ask some Tamiya owners if they could spare the mirrors off theirs(they'd also have some mounting hardware, all you'd need to do is drill a hole for each mirror)..... :)

any of the kits that include mirrors have a solid mounting base on the front side and are usually held with an o-ring and lock-nut (ala Kyosho. this is secure but has some give to it too.
