Silvia S13 K's 345 Tuning (progress thread)
As requested, I'll be doing progress threads for my kits from now on.
 My latest kit is the Fujimi S13 K's as modded by 345 Tuning. New bumper, sides, and wing, also significantly lengthens the rear width. The wing is not shown. I'm gonna paint it Duplicolor Graphite Grey Metallic. Pic:  You can also see my friend's CLK-GTR that I'm helping him spraypaint. Here are the two choices of wheels (first picture are the included, second are Nismo LMGT2's.)   I REALLY want to use the second set, but...  As you can see, the bodykit lengthens the width of the rear, so you need wider tires, the Nismo LMGT2 would look unnatural (or would it?), I'll have to wait til the suspension is assembled before I make the call.

id go with the first set the second set my reason its because it would look natural due to the wider fenders and it would lower it for a meaner look.
the second set make the car look nigarish (sorry for the use of this word but its the only one that best describes the second picture) and it doest look right because of the fenders and it might sit high when its finished but its up to you what did you use to make the body kit or is it available as is?

The bodykit came with the kit, molded in plastic. Parts fit was OK, some parts were too long so I had to sand and putty them. I don't think Fujimi makes this kit anymore..couldn't find it on HLJ. It's a pretty radical body kit.
 You can see how tame th eoriginal car looks by comparison..

Well, I sprayed the color today (after primer, of course!
 )You can see a lot more of the detail now that it's painted. Put on a lot of coats so when I polish the body I won't sand through..  Hopefully by Monday I'll have the suspension/interior complete.

Got the chassis done today, hopefully the interior will be done tomorrow
The front bumper fell off and there's a paint chip I will have to deal with tomorrow

btb i have a toyota crown tuned by 345 too, but it's more annoying cuz the side extenders are smaller and it's not a whole fender cover like that. i have to put putty to make it more even and to cover some holes. nwayz nice one!
