M's Speed Zeus Exclusive Estima

Since i got off my lazy butt and started to post stuff...here is another one of my creations.
Its a Toyota Estima, M's Speed Zeus Exclusive edition....
I BIG complaint about the kit, it came with totally different wheels in the kit then the one illustrated on the box!, whats up with that?
And the ride height was set so high, that i could that swear this was designed to be a off roading van or something...but anyways..heres what i did:

-suspension: altered/lowered, new mounting points created, all wheels still turn.
-wheels: took them off a ford focus.
-paint: Duplicolour Mystify Green/purple paint.
-third row seat/cabin removed to allow the suspension to be lowered and altered.-colour matched dashboard

camber

Believe it or not..The kit actually came with little pieces that attach the the rear suspension that give the wheels that crazy camber at the back, so it looked weird with that just in the back, so i did the same in the front...jap drift style hehe

jap drift style...ON A MINIVAN??? lol, anyways, that is so kool! i could really use some of those pieces for my drift models, i've been trying to think of ways to make camber but can't seem to get it without the wheel popping off. i'm thinking i have to move the suspension mount points inward? any tips from anyone?

I think your camber angle is too big. Also the purplu color with fiber hood, doesnt look too well. But over all i like the car. Lose some stickers, and your car will be a real exclusive!

To me the camber is way to much and you have lowered it to much.......IMO it would look better being lifted up a few mm.
The kit itself looks good and you have done a good job with the rest though....keep up the good work

Ditto.

Although the rest of it looks pretty good.
