little sad about the ae86 thow the wheels wasent the same as the picture and the wing was none present but still a good kit and a big spoiler on that car would look funny but the atleast the wheels could be the same as the ones on the pic, but wheels can me bought so the problem aint that big would recomend it to any who is thinking of byeing it

I ran into the same problem with my Sift Corolla. I had expected it to come just like it is pictured on the box but it came as the standard AE86 Corolla model. In fact, it would have been easier if it was the kouki version rather than the zenki version that was in the box. I had to scratch fabricate everything on the car. Here is mine:

Before decals it looked like this




I had to shave the door moldings, trim out and reshape the front bumper accordingly, and fabricate the sideskirts and rear skirt add ons, modify the hood, and fabricate the wing.

Here it is with the decals applied and near completion





I fortunately, I had some trouble with the clear cote and it ruined my model so I have to start another one.


If you wanna see a better one that is completed, check out this link. This guy shows what he did step by step. (NOTE: The model on this link is a kouki version)

D'Sift Corolla Step by Step

Hope this helps you out with your model.
