ok another C-West FD3s!
Ok i've been building this C-west FD3S for a week now. Pretty happy with the bodykit and ridehieght so i think i'll just build it as it is with no modifications....
i've painted the body using Duplicolor Honda faraway blue and the wheels using tamiya gunmetal spray can. I may paint the front lip and side mirrors in black but still undecided here are some progress pics, some coments and feedbacks please:

Who makes that thing!
FOTW built a thread to improve that. You see the gas cap. you might as well shave that.  Since you build great models I'll be wanting to see this.

Thanks for the comments
 I've just shaved off the gas cap bit on the bumper. The front bumper doesn't fit 100% perfect but it's not as bad as what you see on the pic.. (i didn't fit them together when taking the pics) but i'm going to do something to it to improve it. (see below  )Ok i was sanding and then start polishing it last night. but u know what... the paint starts peels off from the edges!!!! arrgghhh  it looks like there was something wrong with the primer i use cos i can peel off the paint so easily like bananas... so i've to strip the paint completely tonite and re do all the painting from beginning btw, a problem i notice on the paint.. after i sand off the orange peel and start polishing the paint.. i always see some very tiny dents/holes on the surface that takes quite a lot of polishing to take them off ... what is the reason? is it normal? or it indicates there is something wrong with my spray painting skills? (i use automotive spray cans) oh i got my model from HLJ about 1 month ago.. can't remember the exact price but was around 20 including shipping. Richard

I notice you cut the headlights pieces what are you going to do? I'm doing this kit too but at the moment is on hold.

you mean what i'm going to do or how i did that?
if you ask "what".., then i'm going to put the C-West headlights on as the real C-West FD3S doesn't have the factory pop-up headlights. (and i don't like the factory pop-up headlights as well) but it's quite a pain as the "C-West" headlight doesn't fit perfectly.
