How to Keep Looking Good??

How does everybody keep their XMOD in such good shape? I havent even had mine for a month and the body is all scratched up, the headlight is cracked, a piece of the side skirt came off, the antenna on both the car and the tx are all bent out of shape, the antenna connection is coming undone, and I constantly have to clean the insides cuz they get dirty. What are some tips to keep XMODS in good shape?

PS-I got my XMOD set up with a perfect drift setup, it is great at drfiting around my kitchen floor. If only I had a digital camcorder.........

Here's a pic of my jacked Supra.

Please help me to raise my self-esteem. I don't handle criticizm well and when I do, I usually go cry into a pillow and scream and break things. In short, be nice to me (it may be hard though through all of my annoyance). Thanks pal!

Just get another body so you can have a "race" body and a "show" body.

i did that once and its not allowed in the house anymore. i have to drive it on the porch or in the garage. my body is totally f'ed up. my dad's an owner operator and there are truck parts all over the place. spings, wood, wheels of the toolboxes, exhaust manifolds, heads you name it its probably been hit with my civic. oh yeah the bottom of the walls is also exposed 6in tall cement

as for keeping it in good shape there is another thread called "Keeping your car in good shape" you could try searching for that.
