"custom contest" Civic sedan

Hi!

Plz notice and tell me what to do if photos don't work.





Spoon style lip spoiler filled with first layer of putty.



Rear trunk side crack repaired. IMO doesnt look as bad as before the repaint anymore.



As of what clem suggested, I used mesh to make speakers opposed to putting revel civic speaker decals on the back.

Thank you.

tail light housing



when its put onto body



Tail light was done by bending thin clear styrene, then painted. Im planning to airbrush the inside of them with XF-56 through a mesh. What im trying to do is to make them look more like lights come from model kits which are somewhat rough in the behind.



These are what Ive got so far. An unpolished body, butchered and extended chassis, lowered + cambered suspension, straight exhaust, interior, unpainted windows(polished away the rough outline at the sides), taillight + housing + head light, spoon lip with 2nd layer of putty, spoon mirrors (have to be cut to make its angle correct), spoon-ish wheels. Almost all parts of the car except head lights were either modified, scratch built or borrowed off other cars ^_^. The car is finish only when I can get all these parts painted ,then put together, and body polished. Im very very far from complete.

Also thinking if i should give the car a rear wing...



It would be great if anyone can help me on this:



This is a rear window. I need to paint the edges black and also detail it with defrosters. The problem is that I dont have any guidelines to paint, and it is hard to make defrosters even close to how fine when it came from the kit.

Can anyone give me ideas on doing those? Thank you.

Re: "custom contest" Civic sedan

Thank you RB26.
Spoonman dos: I got this kit from Hong Kong. It is made by fujimi. #04036. They have no sedans for sale.

I wont be able to take any more pics for the next week because my parent is going out of town with the digicam.

Once again, any suggestions on the rear window would be appreciated thank you.
