this reminds me of a shorty thread..

you should use what you like. Are you really going to put something on your model that the majority wants, even if you don't like it?

you should use what you like

i agree with that...you build models for yourself, not for others..

make one out of styrene. it can't be that hard, all the planes are flat except for the horizontal one and that can be curved easily.

Sorry to bring this a little off topic, but how well does styrene holds its bend?

Supratuner, how soon will you have some progress pics?

There are several ways, even though it's just bending a plastic sheet.
One is to simply bend it till a white mark appears, and that's it.

Another is to use a hobby knife and draw a line, then bend to make a groove, and fill the groove with superglue to add strength to it.

Finally, use two sheets of plastic, one is thin, the other is thick. Bend the thick one with the first or second method, and glue the thin one outside.

I use two layer method often.

Ditto, i think that's the only way really. Styrene doesn't hold it's bend well at all unless its heated up in that new position.

Not to be dicouraging, but it doesn't look too accurate.

But at the same time it doesn't look like a bad thing.

i think if you just shave some off the bottom so it's flush with the bottom of the original bumper, it would look fine.

I dont think so, silver looks good on a stock supra but when u addd any body kit it makes it ugly!

i have yet to see any kind of wheels that i think look as good as the factory wheels on a supra

every single demo car that Blitz produces from the factory featuring their parts is painted some shade of silver. that's what he meant.

Joey, do you have a scanner? If so you will get better pics if you place your model onto it compared to that awful web cam. That's what i used to do b4 getting my digicam:)
