Honda S2000 progress pics

Here are some pics of the S2000 I am building. I am trying to make it an exact replica of my roomates car. The real car is fairly quick, and is a nice drive for those of you who are interested. She was nice enough to let me drive it a few miles, and it was pretty fun. Not quite the Firehawk, but it is still fun.
Anyway, about the model...
I used Tamiya Chrome Yellow spray and topped it off with about 6 coats of Tamiya clear. I was planning on rubbing it out, which is why I put so many coats on, but I don`t think it will need it. I don`t know if I feel good or bad about that. The Chrome Yellow covers much better than the TS-16 Yellow. Some of you may remember the problems I was having with TS-16. This was much better though.
Hopefully, I will have it finished shortly. Sorry for the pics quality:

From the looks of those, it doesn't seem like you've got much polishing to do at all! :cool:

Looks you have a top project on the way.
The colour fits well in the S2000 and is very shiny and uniform.
Keep the good work.

Thanks for all the complements, guys!

I was wondering how long it would be until someone asked about her. :D :D She`s really cool actually. She is really into cars, so we have something in common. I mean, I never heard a girl tell me about what kind of pistons and connecting rods are in her car, except for her! It`s great!
We are going to have a little contest here shortly between her S2000 and my Firehawk, safely of course. It should be interesting.

Nothing, heh heh heh!! She never ever wears anything, ever, heh heh! :flash: :) :p :p :licker: Actually, she is pretty conservatively dressed. Sorry dude.
So if your room mates are u students or something?
Yeah, she is a student. A very bright student she is! I wish I would have had a car like this at her age. I am not student, so I guess I`m not nearly as stressed. :)
