Progress: street Xanavi R34

[yellow15]

A few more update pics:

The wheels are all finished now:




Unfortunately i've to strip the paint off the body as i made a few mistakes when painting it, oh well, at least it gives me a chance to fix a few minor things i didn't notice before.

did you CF those rims? Very cool looking. kudos!

[yellow15]

yeah took me almost 1 weeks night time to do the 4 CF wheels

[chrismcgee]

rims look great dude, cant wait to see more of this.
i realy think that a matt black paint job and a nicely tinted set of windows would make this car look like a road going stealth car!

great job so far.

also how about using those decals to make a xanavi 350z?

sweet wheels, but i think if your going to make it street, you should leave off the tire decals, just my opinion

[yellow15]

rx7king: thanks for your suggestion. I will consider remove those tire decals but i will leave it till a bit later when i finished the body

Anyway, just painted the body, and here are some more pics:




(i've played with the pic quite a bit using photoshop as the original pic's colour is really different to the real colour.. the pic shows the body colour has some bronze tint on it but the real colour is just a pure dark metallic colour, anyway it's still not 100% but much closer to the real colour)

Colour is AlcladII dark aluminium with black undercoat. First time i airbrush alclad II on a large area and i'm quite happy with the result. CF treatment on the bonnet and the boot (trunk) will be coming soon
Now can anyone tell me if i can add a clearcoat over alclad II paint or it will mess up everything?

thats a sweet as hell car, i got the special edition version of the kit myself

is the cf ur useing the stuff that came with the kit?, looks really sweet, i would have covered a couple of the vents, but its ur car, and should still turn out nice...

those wheels look awesome, to be honest i was a bit pessimistic of this project at first, but now that i've seen what you done, im just amazed! great work!

[yellow15]

Thanks everyone for your comments.

Bilson8tor: Unfortunately i only bought the normal version, so i'm using the SAS CF decal. I was thinking of filling some of the holes on the bonnet as well (just like what i did to my GT supra) But i really like the bonnet vents on the Xanavi R34 so i've decided to leave them there. I know i call it a street car, but maybe we can just think of it as a super mod R34 will all the over the top mods

Keep the comments coming, no matter it's +ve or -ve or just some suggestions.

and here is another pic i took this morning before i went to work
