Yeah, I would want one too but it is going to be really hard to find. More main stream cars maybe but I think the TL would be next to impossible. I think Magetic1 got one that matches the Accord.

I looked for a TL while browsing just in case... for you PhiTL but none... lots of other cool stuff though... S4s, Supras, etc... closest to the TL would be the accord.

Protoform and HPI makes lots of them..
I forget protoform's website..
Hpi: http://www.hpiracing.com

here are a few examples:



and for you AC:

Nice pics... I'm thinking about getting the S2000 body, as for now I have the Avant A4 & the IS 200... The IS 200 could almost pass as the TL but then again, this is the only time an IS could run circle arounds my car...

How much do cars like those cost? How much are different bodies? Messing around with cars like those looks kind of fun. If you can post some more pics.

How much it costs depends on whether you buy gas or electric... and the type, etc... but most GOOD electrics will run you around $300 or so... and then you have to buy the remote control and electronic speed controller... so tops out around $450 for a really good one... you can get an avg. car for like $150...

The bodies themselves cost only $20... Ive been building a slow collection here... I can switch cars everyday! :P

Here is an Acura for you guys:

Thanks magnetic1. The hobby sounds interesting and fun, but the price seems a little steep. Still though, it might be fun to get into some time.
