Ahhh....!!!!! Those are nice rims! What kind are they? With my crappy memory with rims, I am guessing they are similar to F&F Eclipse rims.

I have the Veilside version of the Silvia stalled because I want to mod it extremely to make it at least look like the veilside version rather than an ugly thing...i can't find a good word.

Started on the parts today....getting them sanded and ready for painting and spraying. As you can see from the first two photo's there's not much to this kit.
The last pic shows the two different tyres/rims.
The body will take the most of the time as it has skirts that dont fit to well. So a bit of time will have to be spent getting them just right.
For a new kit, the molding is not that good. Has quite a lot of "flashing" and most parts have quite heavy molding lines through them.

Question

Have "we" decided on a color yet? A smooth black finish would look sweet on that car....but if you choose another, I'll just have to buy one and paint it black!

Hey Pman, just wait until you get your hands on the s15 veilside it took me days just to get the left hand side skirt to fit! those really are some bad fitting skirts, I'll get some pics up as soon as I get my hands on a digi cam again.
