fujimi WRX HKS TUNED

Hey guys,
just bought the fujimi WRX HKS TUNED and was wondering if you guys have any suggestions what colour to paint the car. Also are there any things that i should be careful of with fujimi models.
The kit looks like a very simply kit which was a bit of a disapointment but when everything is complete it will still look awesome.
I was also thinking of lowering the car but due to the very simply suspension set-up at both the rear and front of the vehicle i dont think that its possible.Thanks

What colour are the decals?
I would say white colour.

It can be lowered at the front but not very much. The lowering will make a noticeable difference.:) I agree with Steve on the color.

The decals are mainly black so white would be good its just that my last skyline was white with carbon fibre bonnet and i wanted something different for a change. I would like to do a c-f bonnet on this model as well but i think it might be to difficult what with all the air intakes and scoops. Also does anybody know an easy way to cut out the 4 little air vents on the wrx bonnet? They give your mesh for underneath but you gotta cut it out first which is a bitch.( and i dont have one of those drimmel machines either.)

This one?

When I get around to building my GM Impreza kit, I'll probably open those vents by doing the following:

1. Sand the underside of the hood to thin the plastic in those areas. (Keep checking the plastic up to the light to see your progress.)

2. Use a pin vice to drill several "starter" holes in each vent.

3. Use a scriber (I just use the backside of a #11 blade) to connect the starter holes and pop-out the plastic centers.

4. Use my needle files to smooth and taper the edges of the vents to the right size and shape.


HTH!!

Yep, thats the one.
I had a crack at it today and am happy with the results. i decided to cut the entire portion out as one big vent which will anable the mesh to be a bit more visible and to make it look a little more unique.
Thanks heaps

Pics? :D

i dont own a camera but my brother does.I will have to ask him when he next has a chance.

Below are a few pictures that my brother took a few days ago.
Excuse the poor quality on some of them.
The first one is the Skyline i spoke about before i boxed it and put decals on it.

Enjoy!
what you think(hard i know)

Since you cut out the little cross-beam in the vents, you'll only need to add a similar one back in the other direction to replicate 22B vents (http://www.solace.mh.se/~el302/subaru/22bvents.html), a popular modification. ;)

cool dude, i never thought about doing that but it could look pretty awesome. I could probably get away with using styrene strips, then meshing it underneath.

Looking good and the skyline is very nice

thanks steve,
Your website is a favorite on my computer and i regularly check it for the updates on your latest project. I wrote you an email not long ago about printing my own decals and what website you got the tuner brand decal designs from?
I was also wondering if you scratch build your sway/strut bars in your engine bays or if they came with the kit?
