I've started building one of my Christmas presents, a Tamiya Honda S2000 (the one with the Mugen?/gold? wheels). The color is Tamiya Chrome Yellow, and the rims are either the factory chrome, Mugen?/gold, Volk TE37's or 17" Volks that I cant name at the moment. Other than lowering it slightly and changing the rims, I dont have any plans to do major modifications ie, I'm building it box stock (kinda). So far the front suspension is giving me trouble, but i'll have it solved soon.
Time for pictures, more in the morning...

what's up with that?
Love the brakes and the black accents under the car. Thought about doing the fuel tank and such in aluminum?

Thanks for the compliments!
The fuel tank is as per instructions, and the MX-5/Miata/Eunos/Roadster was ment to be a picture of my rim selection, but I guess it was lost in the depths of my picture files.
Anyhow the body has been curing for a week after 5 coats of Tamiya Chrome Yellow Spray, and now its ready for some glamour shots.
