It's your model, but may I suggest a more vibrant color?? :sunglasse Black is always an option, but maybe a bright blue or burnt orange. The wingless action will give it that sleeper feel, but i think the black may be more of a already asleep feel. I just think that black may be more of a muscle car color than a tuner color. But, anything is sweet if done right, follow your gut instinct!

Nice, I can't wait til the plastic version of this comes out... I like the wheels, too.
I think black will look just fine. The "tuner" scene has earned a reputation for loud paint jobs, which I can like (lime green baby! mmmmm...) but alot of that is either rice or show. Seriously, in my town the the cars with baby blue, bright orange, lime green, etc have zilch in the performance department, except for maybe a cold air intake. The actual built cars don't even go to the shows and have low key paint jobs (factory blue, black...).
So I don't see anything wrong with black, in fact I see it as the best color to show off a car's lines. Coupled with those rims and it should look sweet!
Keep us posted....

nice job, my only suggestion....lower the rear just a bit to even out the drop w/ the front.

the back is very low too, i is just not on the body properly in that picture. i cut the rear fenders out and the wheels are sitting as low as possible on the bottom of the suspension.

go with the GT2 seats, but get rid of those pathetic decals and do your own seatbelts! Paint came out great, it is a mirror. Coming along great!
