Looks good.Great engine painting and carbon fibre finish.I really like the finish you have achieved on the front tyres it's very realistic.

the nose was pretty easy to cut out. I used string to cut it all then just sanded it lightly. It won't fit if you lay too much paint on it though. Also i lowered the front end and now the hood won't close very easy..

nicely built. As has been said the cf looks great. I think some outside shots would really show it off

When you used the string to cut the hood, what type of thread/string and did it take long to do?
Thanks.

i just used regular sewing thread. Just get a piece of tubing in the shape of a U and connect the thread from one end to the other,, then rub the string back and forth untill it heats up,, it cuts realy fast after that..

Next time try less compression when you create JPG image.. i'm sure your car looks better in natural view ;)
