In progress: Check shop Lexus

Here is one that I am working on. The new Aoshima Lexus Check shop GS400 (Aristo). It is a real basic kit. There is no body kit for it. The only thing is the new wheels. They are 19". Not sure what the name of the wheels are. I figure this one should be pretty quick, since there is not much to detail. I really like the adjustable suspension, the only drawback is that there is no brake detail. I decided to do something about that. What I did was use the rotors from another Aoshima kit. Since the backs are flat, they were the perfect donors. All I did was use a dremel, and flatten out the back side of the rotor, couple of seconds for each rotor. Then I painted it then glued them on. They fit perfect. :) The kit also comes with some Louis Vuitton decals that are a pain to put on. I just wish there were a bit bigger, so could have done the outside too. ;) Just like the NSX in Ludacris's video. The body has been painted and polished out already. Just have to do the window trims and lights. On to the pics.

New wheels, and the modded rotors.

He mentioned that the LV came with the kit.

Thanks everyone for the comments. :) Hopefully by this weekend I should have some more progress shots.

They came with the kit. Although, they didn't say. I guess cause of the licensing issue. They don't even tell you how to use them on the instruction sheet either. Here is a pic of the box.

Not sure if they used it on the interior. But they used it on the paint. It is actually a LV look alike. Here is a pic.

nice stuff man and the nsx in 2f2f was louis veiton paint or however you spell it but nice work.

That looks awesome great job with the paint. If you get a chance check out mine.

Actually, there wasn't an NSX in 2f2f, but in Ludacris' "Act A Fool" video for the 2f2f movie.


And yes, I knew it was the paint, and not the interior, but I still thought it was sorta pointless, of course, I don't have money all over the place like he does... :screwy: :nutkick:

The LV NSX and matching Dodge Ram were in the movie but weren't driven. When Paul and Tyrese first pull up to Ludacris' shop both LV cars are parked in front in plain sight. This is the part where they had the SeaDoo races and Jin says that the EVO 7 and Spyder are bugged.

Cool man, great job.

wow you ppl watched that movie to hard lol o well nice work im buyin this model on my next order i hope it comes out good

Oh yeah, now I remember, and there was that bad-ass MR-S with the pointy veilside bodykit. I want that, but it's so expensive, I think aoshima makes it.

Let's see some more progress!

Funny thing is that I hate the 2F2F cars in the real world but the movie is entertaining to watch.

What really burns me is that I have the Platinum digital cable package and the only thing to watch on 20+ pay channels (HBO, Showtime, Cinemax etc.) is 2F2F.....argghh [/rant]

Looks very nice. Nice rims. They go with the car.
