Finally finished! :)

This car was painted with Cobra Colors Lamborghini Verde Artemis.
It's a very unique color. The color changing properties of the pearls are very difficult to photo. In natural light this color looks minty green. Under a light bulb it looks green blue.

Scale motorsports blue carbon fiber was used on the hood, roof, a trunk.

19" Racing Harts were tucked under the fenders, and the front end was lowered.

The interior was painted medium blue, with dark blue seat inserts.

Cool! :sunglasse

Looks all minty-fresh! :icon16:

Classy looking tuner...perfect for an Altezza/Lexus.

We've got some killer new stuff to show off in Chattanooga. Just think how much we'd have if GT4 didn't come out. :rolleyes:

That is one beautiful build, never seen the blue CF on a model before but hell, it looks really nice! I also think the wheels suit the car well.

You were so down on the color in the progress thread - it looks great! And it matches (or compliments) the CF wonderfully. This is a great tuner, one whose style I wish more would understand and take to heart. Great work!

Looks fantastic! Like Willimo said, its understaded but very beautifull. Your CF work is simply amazing. Fantastic work, from conception to detail to finished product.

Very good job. The color looked sketchy at first, but it flows so well with the CF and the rest of the car. Well done.

This has to be one of my favorite IS300/Altezza's! I can't get enough of that color! The roof/truck/hood Carbon Fibre looks amazing! You used the Cobra Colors clear coat over those SMS decals? Sorry if you already mentioned it but i'm slow:) The wheels look soo nice too! Matches the car perfectly!

Thanks for all the nice comments guys.

ImolaEK and aN4rK1 - I cleared this car with Tamiya clear and polished it. I put on 4 or 5 mist coats and a couple wet coats.

Looks sensational! love the colour and carbon placement, it would have to be one of the best Altezza's that ive ever seen around here, the wheels look great since its tucked in nicely under the guards.

Well done 10/10

Perfectly executed. :thumbsup:
That is one weird colour, it looks different almost every time I've seen it. I was going to try some on a Jag XJ220 but looking at your pics I think it might be a bit too light. :dunno:

Cadguy,

What CF decals recommend me for a Tamiya Fullview F50 ? Scale motorsport, any number part?

Excellent Toyota model, CF decals really looks great and innovative.
