Sorry the progress pics went awol. Been a busy month. Well she's done, and quite a hassle may I add.
1st color was a metallic light blue from walmart that shrivled up and became wrinkly. 1 day and alot of brake fluid later, I was back at the drawing board. After I glued the body kit back on ( because I hear fluid melts epoxy) I went for a deep blue with white accents. I like the results of the color scheme myself.
The decals are spliced together from the revell impala lowriderkit and some laubak decals.
The brakes are from thepartsbox.com
Painted TE-37's (notice the tire valves...I got a little brave with a pin vise and striped keyboard wire..the tutorial is perfectly written!)
Exhaust is from two revell itr kits
Nos bottles are from one of those jada toys diecast kits (those things are a gold mine if you're willing to put in some work on the details)
Tach and wing are from Aoshima spo-com kit
A-pillar gauges are scratch built as is fmic
questions and comments welcome. thanks for reading

2 HUGE thumbs up!!!! I love everything about this build, it all came together beautifully. I see alot of kit-bashing that does not bode too well once applied but you blended it all in perfectly! I would really love to see outside pics so you can really showoff that black paint. This is definetely one of the finest S2k builds I have ever seen and that includes mine (It's close though ;) )

Wow that came out great. I really dig the graphics despite myself. The whole thing came out great, but be careful using nitrous and a turbo on an S2000... :evillol:

Nice build, I like the tire values. The hood appears to be flat black/dark blue, looks great that way.
