Where’s the triple rocket launcher?

Did the 1966 Batmobile have that feature?
I suppose there is plenty of room to have that pop-up from the roof.

I'm not a fan of any of the movie Batmobiles, so I guess I'm showing my age.

One has to have the Bat wheel hub spinners to be correct.

All these years, and I never thought much about those.
That might make the vehicle too tall for my bat cave.

Modify a spare tire carrier to hold the launcher.

All kidding aside, remove the red bats, stick with the fine red trim lines, add black steelies. Knockout look. If you wanted bats a subtle dark grey would look cool.

As I said in another thread, I like the '84 VW GTI appearance: black, thin red body stripe, and subtle red trim on the front and back emblems.

I've already bought all the accessories that I intend to put on my car and the items needed to create that look. I'll stick with the stock carbonized gray BL wheels initially.
I bought red letter overlays for the front and rear and a red 3-D Bronco emblem for the rear.

or zig-zag stripes

I borrowed the rear shot from someone's else's post to create the rear design.
The '84 VW GTI had a single think red body line, which did not extend onto the rear hatch. On my own car, I added a second parallel body stripe on the side.
Alternatively, I may black out the "BRONCO" and "SPORT" words, but I like this design.
Unfortunately, The Badlands has a carbonized gray front grill, and I'm still playing with adding accents without being too in-your-face outrageous.

I recall why I stopped posting. Simpler times.

Continuing on the red trim on black scheme, I ordered the Tufskinz panel trim.
High in quality, an elastomer (rubber) material, rather than a polystyrene or ABS type.
Here are some pics of the dash trim options. Unlike other vent trims which overlay the whole surround on the vents, the Tufskinz vent trim pieces are each a narrow stripe.
Feel free to laugh, cry, forehead slap, or toss some over some OMG's, or whatever as desired.

The Instrument cluster surround is too much, IMO. It is only temporarily attached for taking this photo.
I also bought the door trim pieces to overlay the Area 51 C-curves, but am hesitant to install them. Too much perhaps?
I do like the vent trim, and may keep the radio surround also.

The plastic red vent knob overlays were part of a package (Amazon or Etsy, I don't remember), and I chose to use only the vent knob overlays.
