The new Street legal S7~R

list of changes I sanded down the rear spoiler replaced with an all carbon fiber Gt wing All carbon fiber custom Diffuser ,paint is a mixd metalic blue with a base coat of french blue. The interior repainted also original color was baje an the outside was orange. an soon im putting Gt mirrors on.

If you have any ?'s on where I got the carbon fiber let me know its .2 thin so its very flexible yet stron I used to make the wing. The only thing its not good with is tight curves.

New S7 ~

My fave pic. /\

Gv hope u like it.

Did you brush that paint on!? And sorry to say bad things about the work you put in, but, it looks very, very messy, whats with the blobs in the paint?

I know it bubbled bad actaully I sprayd it on. I plan on sanding it down one of these days but for now ill enjoy it. but yea im gonna have to do a base coat then do metalic.

Holy cheese reduce those images down. They're breaking the H-scroll like crazy. 640x480 would be a nice size.

lol i agree. HUGE pics lol

Thats my res on my cam cant change it.

use photobucket or something where you can resize them

Resize those pictures. They are extremely large.

As far as the model, the CF looks way out of scale, and the paint looks a little bubbly and blobby. You also got some on the lights. The effort is there, the result is not. Im sure if you did another one using all of our advice it we would be much better. :)

Yea definetly well soon enoguh its gonna get a way better paint job the tail lights im getting new 1's an the front lenses are scratchd so im gettn new ones of those 2.

But in all seriousness if u have tips please tell me. I would like to make this as real as possible

~ ask for the cF scale its the only real carbon I could find that was cuttable to how I wanted it if u have any links u know of please do ~

Nice idea using real CF, but its too out of scale. Might want to just go for some CF Decals instead. And I was thinking the same thing about the paint. Looks really rushed.

Try using SMS CF decals. They make some in 1:18.

sorry it's so harsh but, it's hideous.

ive seen better, nice try though

yea me 2 lol.

So many things wrong with this S7 its sad :disappoin . Carbon Fiber is way out of scale. Just because its "real" dosent mean it looks right. Paint looks like a ten year old did it. Its just wrong to show this on the net.

I Suggest you Strip the whole thing with some D.O.T 3 and just restore the paint job. All those little nick nack modification you did were just ment for a Honda. :loser: It looked better out the box.
Just some "good honest" Criticism. I suggest you take it.

Just my :2cents:

sorry but the paint isn't good, and did you prime the body at all or did you just spary that blue paint over the silver?

hey mister feint motion dont call us younger modelers i am only 12 and have u seen my modded minis paint flawless

Hey,

I like this idea alot. Looks nice with the real cf, true, it does look out of scale, but what's better than real cf.
You should try using stripper to get all the paint off. Then sand the rest. Did you prime it or sand the paint for the blue you put on? Nice effort, with a little work, you can turn this around and make it really nice. Just take some time. Live and learn.

right now im sanding it but im keep the real carbon on it. Its just the whole fact that its real is pretty wild to me. If anyone else wants to use it feel free to check it out ~ www.HayamePeRfOrMancE.com (http://www.HayamePeRfOrMancE.com) :D

Let me say on thing if u can sand blast the model sand blast it. Thats wat i do when im customizing my diecast.

thats not a bad idea.
