I got this kit yesterday. Awesome kit, IMO. The wheels were a hard choice but for the tuck the Work Meister S2's were used. This is the final stance for the car. By removing the metal springs (or cutting them) the car sits like this.
Color will PROBABLY be Silver Leaf. Maybe some seatbelt detail. Black bottom treatment.
The brakes that come with the kit are nice. The bodykit is really nice.
MORE PICS CAN BE FOUND HERE (http://groups.msn.com/ByronsCards/shoebox.msnw)
I recommend this kit if you like the Silvia.

This looks very good so far! I think the stance and wheels set it off.

It is....stand alone chrome headlights makes painting them black a lot easier. Three color molded taillights...gotta love that! Really nice bodykit that actually fits (still love my MAK, though). Awesome wheels with Aero version (TE37's). Well worth the money!
Looks awsome! BTW When are you gonna finish that bad ass supra?
I've had sinful thoughts lately about swapping the turbo I made from the Supra over to another detailed R32. I test fitted a set of 18" Aos. BBS LM's (black mesh w/chrome dish) and it's soooo tempting. Ultimately, I don't know yet....

Nice start Byron, Does that bonnet come loose or have you cut it free. If so It will be great for dropping an engine straight in :)

Damn it Steve. Don't start! LOL
Yes, the bonnet is a seperate piece. The piece I cut free is the front bumper side vent. It was molded mesh. I cut those out earlier today.

Just don't steal my pics! :lol: *refers to Steve's incident* Best of luck to your project. I really should finish that Supra or use the engine in some other project. I put a lot into that motor......

Some more progress. I've painted the body Tamiya Silver Leaf and laid down the Clear coat. It's looking good....drying at the moment so no pics right now.
The interior. Added an interior center brace, some seatbelts, SAS Bride seat (matt black on front, semi-gloss on back), yada yada.....
http://img101.exs.cx/img101/7537/DSCN1071.jpg
Here's some of the misc. pieces. Made a new cat-back from a Fujimi alum. muffler and some styrene. I used Evergreen 214 (3.2mm) as it comes out to be right around a 3" pipe to scale. Blacked out the headlights and taillights. Painted the calipers and assembled the chassis.
