    Thank you for the review Jay.
    We will look forward to see reviews from folks with the gloss version to see if it fits more flush.
    Since with our own examples. The Gloss version does sit better than the Matte version which at the moment still baffles us as to why it is the case.

    This Ramen CAG set completely saved this Batmobile for me. I was extremely dissatisfied with the stock canopy and didn't even want to buy this Batmobile because of it. I saw the CAG set came out so I decided to buy the matte version of the Batmobile. I bought the matte CAG set, installed it, and I love this Batmobile now. Mine must be an updated version because it sits perfectly flush. The paint match is amazing as you pointed out in your review. Thank you Ramen Toy!

    Thank you so much for the heads up. I was not aware that this was even a product that someone was making. I am so happy I got the matte when I did because it's all sold out now. I am terrible at upgrading anything and everything. This was very easy to do in my opinion. I had no issues with the screws. Everything came apart and went back together very easily with no issues. This was my first time taking this Batmobile apart, so I was nervous going in, but it was easy and pretty cut and dry, especially after watching their installation video.

    such a great and simple mod. thanks for suggesting it. i have had that batmobile in a box unopened for months. lots of things bugged me about it, but you nailed it. the roof and windshields are all off and gross; looked too toy like. took a little while, but the parts arrive and it is now leaps better and I am proud to display it. even if it is a one seater. :D

    Nice review and cool upgrade. My theory on why McFarland made the canopy the way he did is so you could see the figure inside the vehicle. I've seen some upgrades for turning the 1 seater into a 2 seater, but I think you would need a smaller Batman for it.

      The gloss set fits better than the matte set for some reason which we surmise there is a slight deformation of the Matte Batmobile compared to the Gloss Version.
      Deformation means very slight microns of difference with the injection process by Mcfarlane.
      The Gloss and Matte Mcfarlanes were done in 2 batches while the CAG is done in 1 production.

    When I got a suggestion from Amazon to get this Batmobile in December, it was an immediate purchase. Then my immediate next stop was to Ramen Toys to get the GAG set. It really makes the 89 Batmobile look so much better. Happy to see that they will be shipping soon and you shared the end result. Even if there is a little canopy lift, I would rather have that than the derpy canopy it came with.
    I am hoping that he considers doing the 2 seater conversion. But understands if he doesn’t. I am so grateful that this is an option

    I ended up going rogue and replacing the canopy before watching the videos you and Ace did. It's weird that I didn't have to do nearly as many steps. Like I didn't have to remove the seat, steering wheel, the piece that locks the canopy in place - all I have to do was remove a few screws from the cockpit, lift it up to remove the canopy, then slide in the new one. Everything worked perfectly, with no chance of damage.

    I just got my CAG today (soooo long of a wait - the shipping time alone took a month), and now I can't even install it 🤣. Out of the 27 screwdrivers I have, not one of them is long and skinny enough to get to that screw in the back near the thruster 🤦🏼‍♂️. I don't have a car, so I can't just go to the store to try to find one. Guess I'll have to spend like $15 including the shipping to buy one that hopefully works. So funny; it's like having all the cigarettes, but you don't have a single match.

      Actually the screws have to be tight in order for the spring to pop out the canopy with the push of the button.
      But indeed if the screws are not tighten too tight, it could very well be the solution - although ourselves have not tested it.
