Lexus IS200

There's a drift groupbuild on SPC and this is my entry:

I made a bodykit for it:

I didn't like the bodykit so I remade it :P.

Here is the car how it is now:

At first i wanted to use these wheels:

But I made some cooler wheels:

very clean body kit and I like the recent wheels much better :sunglasse this car would look good in mica blue imho

Sweet! You went from kinda cool, to really cool, to FREAKING AWESOME! I think with those wheels, keeping with the black and gold/bronze theme would be really nice! Your original version looks somewhat similar to the one APPLESEED made back in the day. Haven't seen him around here in a loooong time, but he did some really nice stuff. BTW, where are those tires and lips from?

ohh love the kit design and the new wheels!

I've got some progress on this one too,

I made the frontbumper and primered the body too see how it looks:

Remember, the front is nowhere near finished.

I have to do a lot more sanding :D

Great work so far, and AMAZING photos. They are so clear! :runaround:

Oh, and great site for showing your built models.

Keep going on this way, and it'll be a memorable project.

As you can see I used Top Secret decals for it, thanks goes to Pitbull and Oamurai for the decals.

ps. The car isn't finished yet, it's just a mock up

looking good to me, I like the re-lipped rally wheels, and Top Secret has always been my favorite JDM tuner.


Good luck with the rest of the build.

I always enjoy following your builds. This one looks fantastic and I know this is a thread about your IS but....that S15 is sooo sexy :evillol: . I can never get enough of that car! The rear of the IS seems a bit low...gonna get arch rubbing when drifting :smile:

:D, the chassis isn't finished,

The wheels are just put loose under the car.

And here are some more pictures of the Silvia if you want to see them:

Looking VERY nice man! Top Secret's always nice. I'm looking forward to the finished pictures!! Keep it coming. You just don't want to tell us about those lips for those wheels do you!?!?! Just buggin ya!

Cool!:D

Hey M-Tuning, That car is coming along very nicely. I also love the Silvia beside it in that picture. Where in the world did you get the outer rims from your wheel set-up? I could really use the information. Thanks.

Youre wheels is the best I´ve ever seen :thumbsup:

I made some progress with the interior:

I still have to do the decals and the seatbelts aren't done too, but other than that it's finished.

As you can see I also removed the backseat.

The outer rims are from these Aoshima rims:
