Im not trying to be negative, the car does look awsome. But KARR had a silver bottom, and an amber colored bar scanner light.

Last summer I actually got to meet the guy who owns the car at the Knight Nationals. He was a great guy to talk to and his car looked awesome. There was a two tone KARR there that looked awesome as well. If cardomain is ever up you can see the pics that I took at the Knight Nationals here. http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/295097/19

I applaude your work, very nice. One observation is, that dash looks good but the way it's shaped, it would definatly be a ball splitter for your front passenger in a head on collision...

Yes I was a fan of Knight Rider when I was a kid. And yes I admit that KITT began my love with the thirdgen Trans Am. But I have also grown up!
I would never do that in a million years. I think it is simply ugly. Especially to go ahead and do the interior, how can you drive with that wheel?? Anyway, it doesnt float my boat, but if it floats yours...more power to ya!

White KITT rocks. ^_^ I've seen pics of that car before. As far as KARR? KARR's scanner was always yellow, however in KARR's first appearance it had a black paint job same as KITT. After KITT knocked KARR off the cliff supposedly the salt water and sand made KARR into the two tone paint job we know now. Stupid reason, but thats official reason given for the KR universe.
I like KARR much more than KITT, something about the Amber scanner.

The first episode with car he looked just like kitt, black with the red scanner. The second episode with Karr in it he got his two toned paint job and already had the amber colored scanner.

wow, i've never seen other color knight cars either. pretty cool but i'm still partial to black. I also grew up watching knight rider and it has influenced me to buy the 82 and convert it myself. yes i have grown up too but i still have many toys. I hate when people bash the knightrider people at least there not ricing out birds.
megaracerx man your car is great!!!

I remember now that the first time KARR was seen he was all black, but i think he still had the yellow bar.
Also wasn't it a two robbers who found KARR, and a voltage surge that lead under the car started KARR?

At least in KARR's second apperance the scanner IS yellow. I can't clearly remember if his scanner was yellow in the first one, but it probably is because his voicebox has been yellow since the get go.
I'm fairly positive that his scanner and voice box were yellow since his introduction in episode 8 or 9.
