Wow, it looks great. If you have any CF left, u should cover the deck lid with it instead of flat black, all in all, it looks like it'll b a great build when its done

Hmm, whats a deck lid.

I just noticed i placed the Strut Bar opside down.

Thats what happens when your working on a model at 2:20 AM falling asleep.

Look's awesome so far, I would have painted the side trim black though, but that's just me.

Yea i was thinking of doing that, since my Liscence plate area is black. I might do that and leave the side skirts the same color as the car so i could match it with the Rear lip. Thanks for the input!

Ok engine is done. This was my first time doing some wires on the engine. I stole them from my ML55 AMG Die-Cast model

. Atleast it worked for something.

Unfortunaly when i was opening the glue a big dab of glue fell ontop of the spark plugs so it all looks like its in one piece.

I also put together the bumpers and other minor stuff.

I still have to complete the Suspension and do the Exhaust. These rims that are on the car will not be the final ones. I am waiting for my Spoons to come in the mail.

Enjoy!

Everything looks great...except I dont think the wheels fit the style of the car. Engine looks great, and so does the exterior.

Now build a model with a damn bodykit...

Thanks Mike, Yea these wheels are wayy ugly and too big! Im not using them though, I will be using some Spoon SW-388's.

About the car with a body kit...Hmmm that might take a while for me to build.

Look's alot better now that you painted the side strip.

MidMazar · #24 09-01-2004, 09:38 PM

I'd laugh if it was dumped off before the rear axle... such a great idea, so unique... i dunno, mebbe he hasnt attached the exhaust yet.

Thats actually a very cool idea. But for this one i will have a normal N1 style exhaust. Maybe for the next series of Honda's i will be building i will have one that is cut off, or exits right out the front bumper.

Great looking build, can't wait to see it completed!!!

U see the thing thats the cover of the "trunk" in the rear window? I think u have it painted flat black, its the cover of the whole hatch when u look through it from the back windsheild, but it looks good with the exception of the hideous chrome rims, sum noce Spoon SW's would b perfect
