Started with Aoshima C-West FD3S kit (1/24)
Had this kit lying around for a good year and a half so I decided to get the ball rolling. Painted gloss black, still have to wetsand imperfections.
Advan RG wheels next to stock '99 spec wheel.

Blurry, sorry. Shots of the Weds Kranze LXZ. I got two sets so I could extend the rear pair of wheels/tires.

Paint idea...
http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s303/KidSaru/Scans011Small.jpg
And fitment of the wheels, once again blurry but you get the idea.
