In Progress: Altezza (Blitz)

Well i got my blitz altezza today along with my TE37's. Im going to paint the car gunmetal. The wing will be silver with a c/f deck (courtesy of SAS :sunglasse ) not sure what color to do the rims. Any suggestions are welcome. also i will be doing a c/f gas tank and hood :) remember i need rim color suggestions!

o yea wing might look lopsided or something, its only on with clay hehe

wow man this looks great i cant wait too see it done.

leave the rims flat white. would look very contrasting with the dark body and add to the look.

Get some bigger rims on that bad boy!

Your side skirts are on backwards. Great project though!!

Cool project! Do cf rims! :naughty:

I would say some nice 18" black rims, i think that would look great on the altezza

Good start. I think a black wheel look hot.

thnx for all teh replies. well teh skirts are on backwards :( and i cant remove them kuz i crazy glued em in so they would fall off. i tried removing them and cracked a peice, gotta sand it now.so i guess its gonna stay hehe

should i leave em?

good news fixed skirts :)

no cut them off dremel them off, and take the big 5ft wing off also looks goofy and retartedDude, Since when is this project? Can't he do anything he want's to, to his model? :icon16:

Anyway's, I thought the side skirt's looked great backward's. The wing also look's good on there, And I also agree with everyone, It need's bigger rim's! :)

Get some bigger rims on that bad boy!

thnx for all teh replies. well teh skirts are on backwards :( and i cant remove them kuz i crazy glued em in so they would fall off. i tried removing them and cracked a peice, gotta sand it now.so i guess its gonna stay hehe


idk if its just me and i don't mean to take it out on you, but why if you type the word "the" why can't you just type "the" instead of "teh", i find that so stupid and annoying, and don't say its a mistake i always see it in your post and in other people's too.

anyways, model is looking good so far. :p

Wow it looks just awesome. I like the body color and the white rims perfectly fit the bodycolor IMO.

Will you leave them white?

Sounds cool Ricky, I cant wait to see more!

Glad to see You have finally got your altezza. Nice start too, better than what I have, I've been playing with the body a bit more, adding a bit here and there but still can't make my mind up :(. Yeah I agree too, some bigger rims would be nice, black would look pretty good, choice is yours though, hope to see more... It would definately give me a push to work more on mine.. btw, what about the intercooler?? I was playing too with the i/c, just ended up making it 2.2mm from metal siding, in total approx. 3mm..

well looking good so far :) keep it coming..

hehe thnx man but this thing really is a mistake with the "the" and teh "teh" i just type to damn fast i make a lot of mistakes. Well i got the car painted and decided to use the rims that came with my lightning, but i might wind up using the vortex's i ordered. I also c/fed the exhaust and painted the wing, jus need to c/f the wing and im set. Also need to polish and wax the body.

well funny thing is, i lost the intercooler i was workn on. ill find it eventually. Also i painted the body gun metal. Cant wait to polish and stuff :)

coool, i like gunmeatl colored cars, i got a gunmetakl altezza in a super street, it is nice. it has white rims also. but no 5ft tall wing. thats the only thing on yours that disapoints me, if it had now wing it would look great in gunmetal with lightning wheels!

gunmetal rims would look cool IMO

kool thnx for the input

Hmm gunmetal. I like it. Just like the lastest model i got done. Great color.

now that i think, i think gunmetal car, on gunmetal wheels would look awsome! add some red or blue lugnuts! and then the wing, gotta go. if you use the wing, at least cut the suports down a bit, you dont need a wing that sticks up taller then the roof of your car, plus a wing on a honda or altezza dont make scence....... :screwy: they are for race cars with lots of power that need downforce:screwy: :screwy:

for the interior do a blue or red! some racing seats and belts would be nice, and nos and lots of ICE

How are you planning to approach the interior?

Sounds like u have been working on it real hard.. can't wait to see more.. all this, and I have picked up on a little building, will post pics during the weekend. keep up the work..:-)

looking good rick, Go with gunmetal wheels, that will look hot.

thnx man but i have finished the model already. i have shown a few ppl, but i won't be posting until my friend finishes his, we are gonna take pics and release together so i hope he finishes soon. the interior is all black with some silver highlights here and there. The rims i got are from a lightning and the exhaust i made from scratch. i also decided to keep the wing, and i c/f the deck of it. I left the hood body color because i messed up on the decal and only had enough for one try :( still looks good tho pics will be posted within a couple days 2 maybe 3 at the most. Dont worry ill be rushing him lol
