Questions on R34 Calsonic skyline

[sausage]

Got another question regarding the roll cage. Tamiya's instructions say it's bare metal silver and black, but the picture doesn't clearly show where the delineation of color is. Has anyone found reference photos of the original car's rollcage?

The chasis is carbonfiber.

Are you SURE? I mean the color is spot on for Kevlar. The same material the Toyota GT-One (and almost all other factory race cars) uses and Kevlar is used in that particular area of race cars to contain flying debris that the sticky slicks pic up and throw off in the wheelwells.

Some progress photos.









1. I'm still not sure how to paint the rollcage. Instructions say it's mostly bare metal silver with some black areas, but the exact color separation is vague.

2. The seatbelts are grey with blue pads. I've never seen this color for aftermarket parts before. Any idea if any manufacturer makes this combo?

Some pictures I took while the 22 car was over for GT Live. All done with a camera phone. Have to learn not to move before it closes the shutter...

That looks like carbon kevlar!
