Work in progress: VIP S2000

Some pics of my current project.....

It's a Tamiya Honda S2000 kit painted Pure White. The interior will be red/black combination. I just need to paint the interior but it's too cold here. The wheels are 19" Carlsson.

Comments and suggestions are very welcome...

s2000 isn't my idea of a 'VIP' car but yours looks good. i'm working on one myself at the moment.

Love the thought process. IMO the Carlssons are out of place. I would go with a different VIP wheel combo. Something with a lip.

Great job thus far!

I think the wheels look great.

Interesting project :)
I also think the wheels look great on it :bigthumb:

:1: aVIP S2000.....good idea!

I love the idea but those wheels just don't "do it" for me; perhaps some Amistad Lotinos? Pay no attention to my reply, it was only my opinion. :)

Thats sweet, i think those wheels look good on there!

"Thats sweet, i think those wheels look good on there!" +1 hahaha! i love your idea of a vip style s2k, but i think you need some big a$$ skirts/ground effects to have a more proper vip look to it. it's a VIP/Drifter class, IMO. it's a show stopper, but it can go drifting like some RX7s from gp sports.

The Honda S2000 you are making is good but I think the only thing you need would be a hood with an air opening

:iagree: The paint/color looks great! Another tip to make it more VIP would be to put those HUGE mufflers! :iceslolan

Looks real cool! But I think it could have used a body kit, wing, and a big muffler. But thats just my :2cents:

I also wouldn't class this as VIP but that's a good thing IMAO. It agrees with my eyes as is. :icon16:

looking good so far but i dun think S2000 is the class of VIP even though u put a vip rims on it. maybe a wild bodykits, crazy exhaust may make it look more vip

:iagree:

Great Idea adding VIP to an S2k. Really creative.

sweet stuff and very good idea,
i love those wheels...
very good project!

Thanks everyone for the comments!!

I agree that it will look much better with custom bodykits but I'm still a beginner modeler and I don't think I have the skills to make a custom body kit.....

Maybe someday I'll try making my own body kit, but for now I will do this model as it is.....
