350Z progress

I finally got a chance to borrow a friend's digicam for a little while and I got some pics of my 350Z build up. I'm modeling it loosly after APR's Celica GT300. This is my first attempt at really modding a model so it might be a long-term project.

The hood will have vents, and the sideskirts are alot lower than they will be when I'm finished. I found its easier to have too much putty than not enough. Both doors are going to open too.
The door jam is mocked up with cardstock so I can make a template for my styrene.


I also have a stylistic question for you... I only have the stock rims but they dont look right with the body mods, so I wanted to try them with some wide lips. What do you think? What can I do to make them not look so stock? I'd get different rims but the nearest hobby store that sells them is a couple hours drive from here and I'm not that desprate.

They're mocked up with thin cardstock, so I can adjust the lip width as much as I want right now.
