Lol wow, I'm not sure how they could have accidentally stuck something like that on there and not noticed it. Is it integrated with the rest of the model or is it just put on like an afterthought?


Nope it's pretty much just randomly stuck on there. The diffuser into the the bottom of the car is completely smooth except that is just jutting out. I really have no explanation for it.

I'd look it up and see if other models of the same brand and scale have that on there. If they don't, or if it bothers you too much, you could likely cut it off and sand it back down (though it may mess up some of the undercarriage) or just see if it would come off at all.

I looked at other LookSmart Balboni editions but there are no pictures from the angle where I could see it. I just don't know what I could use to break it off. It's going to bother me like every time I look at it lol.

My Murcielago SV by AUTOart's front logo fell off and it made me absolutely crazy for the first couple weeks, but now I don't really notice it.

So I'm thinking about buying a 1:43 model, but I don't know which one to get...
Any suggestions?

I like the

1:43 Hot Wheels Elite Ferrari 458 Speciale $40
1:43 AutoArt Lamborghini Gallardo Superleggera $25-$40
1:43 AutoArt McLaren P1

I might the the Supperleggera and one of the other ones.

P1 without a doubt. Then again, ask for Jon's opinion. He probably know more about 1/43s than me or any of us, haha.

Don't ask my opinions on 1/43s lol. All the ones I buy are super rare and if I were to recommend one to you, I'd probably end up buying it myself first lol

Haha I'd like to get a few rare models like you have. Luckily there's a huge selection of 1: 43 models at the big race track near me. They always have Autoart and Looksmart models.

You can't go wrong with them, they are a good investment. I usually just go to eBay and search "1/43 __________" and see what I can find.

Just searched and found a beautiful Looksmart Porsche 959!
