350Z Project.

Here is my 1/18 Maisto 350Z with current mods, painted grille silver and am trying to paint the headlights(like shown with tape) so the hood looks like it is bigger. What do you guys think about the headlights?

I think that's going a little far. Those headlights would be useless with that much of an eyelid!

Re: 350Z Project.

true, but i dont think that he is going to be driving it anytime soon. i just did that real quick to show him an idea. he said he wanted the hood to look bigger so i stopped the headlights where the hood starts. he could always go up higher

Re: Re: Re: 350Z Project.

The spoiler needs to be fully painted but it looks pretty good IMO. Are those eyelids ever gonna happen? This is a 4 month old thread after all...
