Hello everyone, it's been a while since I managed to finish a model for a long time cause school was keeping me busy. The Christmas holidays gave me a chance to finally get to work on this model. I was planning on entering this car in the contest but it wasn't completed in time:( Anyways, here are the mods...

-18inch volk te37's
-Hart wheels decals replaced with ray's engineering decals
-lowered rear end
-custom made apex N1 exhaust
-head light clusters made with aluminum foil
-SAS GT wing (work out very, very well!)

Tell me what you think:)

Looks fabilous. I think it should be lowered a bit, so the rims are just about to touch the fender. :frog:

Hello Apex

Could you tell me where you got those stickers and parts for the car.

Did you get them at pacific mall?

Thanks everyone for you kind comments.

flyonthewall-Nope, had no problems with the wing, I'll be buying more once I run out. Although, the tiny parts were a little hard to cut;)

Dorikin- Yeah, pacific mall is where I usually buy my models and supplies from. They seem to be the only place around Toronto that supplies Fujimi and Aoshima models.

Godzilla- Most of the decals came from the kit itself, but I did swap some other decals from other kits that I had extras of. As for the parts, the GT wing is made by Flyonthewall and you could purchase them off his site, and I made the exhaust myself.

Darn....that is one fine looking job you done :cool:

Looks great! What colour Yellow is that? It is exactly what I need to put on my Superbird.

Thanks again for the replys, everyone:)

s13_iketani- the exhaust barrel is made from a bic roundstick pen cut into the correct length. Then the ends are filled with putty and the tip is made from a drinking straw attached to the end of the barrel.

Pman- yeah, I also think it needs a bit of lowering, but a past attempt at cutting the suspensions kinda scared me off from lowering this one:(

Lowriders4life- the colour I used is tamiya chrome yellow, it's actually a bit of a darker yellow in real life, but the lighting I used made it seem a bit lighter in colour.
