yes, this is a very nice project, I love the FMIC, and the impul's the 6 spoke takes from it somehow and the kit wheels belong on a riced out honda. the impuls give it a very tough look.

Nice start. Do you have 19'' wheels??? If you don't the impul's rims is the best!!!!

Keep it up, I love this car!!!!

I agree on Impul or 19's. Great project (reminds me that I have to finish mine sometime)

I think this kit actually comes with the stock parts for the Eagle Talon version

Here's an update. Please excuse the color differences in the pics.. a few were underexposed and I didn't really take the time to colormatch..

I've been working on the interior this weekend. The most notable change is the car has a backseat now. I was going to do it with Epoxy putty, but it was hardening too fast for my sculpting skills, so I switched to Super Sculpey since I could take my time. It still looks a little rough, but to the naked eye it's more acceptable, plus it'll mostly be seen through the car's glass. I still have to add the seat belt clips.

I also made some pedals.

And some flocked floormats.

When I was painting the door panels, I noticed that they were symmetrical. In the real car, they are not. Then I noticed that the vents that are supposed to be in the doors are not there, so i'm thinking about adding them, but I haven't decided how much the inaccuracy bugs me yet.

here's a pic of the vent in case you're not familiar.

Great scratchbuilding of the backseat, floormat and pedals

with a bit of cleanup, the backseat will be excellent.

You got an eye for detail, keep it commin'!!

i've been pretty busy lately with my job and haven't had much time to work on this, but here are some small updates.

I smoothed the back seats out some

Added the vents in the door panels, although, this isn't the best pic..

Cut the hole for the sunroof

That's about it for the time being... I'm a little pissed off because I either lost the side mirrors, or they're just missing from the kit. Either way, I can't find them, so it looks like i'll have to make some new ones.. which sucks..

I like how you are "downgrading" in a sense to make it more accurate. I love the rear seat, and the impuls are badass. I need to order some of those with my next order from hlj. Loving the progress, keep up the good work

man, your scratchbuilding is awesome. great attention to detail!!

I used to have a 91 GSX.
