"Spoon" inspired ITR

[crismag]

looking very nice though i suggest you use fine tip markers to color the wires molded in the engine coz i think you used brush? using fine tip markers will be a lot easier and will have a tidy look

[bah humbug]

Repaint it and finish it. :bandit:

IMO, too much C/F on the dash.....then entire thing wouldnt be made of it. And the fuel rail has no injectors.

Every thing else looks good!!!

Well actually the ENTIRE "thing" would be made of CF, expensive yes they do exist (Of course all the trim pieces are not CF, just the mold of the dash itself) and sorry no injectors, I already had this motor to this stage before I thought about trying to do injectors. My MeanB16 Motor thread shows the motor I am building that DOES have injectors and a scratch built manifold (That I plan to make a better one for soon).

Here go some more update pics. I finally got the yellow sprayed w/o mistakes! I could not help the urge to add the Revell Civic side skirts and add the 17's also, it just looked to GOOD IMO. all that is really left is to polish the paint and get some gloss coat on it. The hood is back to stage one now though, I pulled a MAJOR stupid: I was a little tired and not paying to much attention and instead of spraying high gloss on the hood, I picked up the gold I am using for my HB and DAMN IT! now the ITR hood is gold (yea I feel stupid) I just need to soak the hood in CSC for a little bitand try one more time to get it right. This is just one of those models that is cursed w/ screwups, I just hope the finished project will look "worth it".


this OEM CF hood is actually not the one I am going to use, it is just on for the pic


Better pics will come once it is done and ready for outside pics!

Thanks, do you actually like it more than the custom one i plan to use?? I just love the hood with the 3 vents personally

[fullbloodchop01]

i lik ethe custom one, but im not feelin the gold color u said, i think if u CF the custom one it would look just as good also
just my 2 cents

You misunderstood me, I did not MEAN to paint it gold. i completly pulled a stupid! I have to strip off the gold and start all over trying to get the CF right. It is such a pain to get it smooth over the vents and when I finally had it right what do i do.........................Screw it up!

[Blowncivic1320]

He sed he did gold by mistake...anyway looks nice

[fullbloodchop01]

OOHHHHHHHHHH my badd, i hope it turns out good

[endlesskev86]

nice and clean!!~
i like it alot!

[integra818]

It looks nice but the side skirt don't blend in with the rest of the cars smooth lines. Nice job though.

P.S, did you take pics in your bathroom?

:hehehe: lol, actually I took the pics on my kitchen counter becuse that was the most lit up place in my Apt. at night.

As far as the side skirts go the pic doesn't help the look but in person i just love he look of the skirts. I think the CF lip was alot more out of place before the side skirts. When I am done I will post some nice outside shots that should make it look ALOT nicer
