Here are some pictures of my nearly complete Celsior. Let me know what you guys think! It has an adjustable suspension and an openable trunk!

my jpg attachment is only 26 kb, but it's taking a million years to load, and then it gives me an error...

Did those BBS LM rims come in the kit? They look fab-u-lus!
(The rest of the car is pretty choice too! )

The kit comes with an adjustable suspension and openable trunk. I didn't do that myself. The BBS wheels I got off the older LS400 model. I put some Wald rims on the older LS to make it look like my friend's Wald Lexus. And of course, the Soarer is a copy of my car

The newer LS is not modeled after anybody's car. I got it cuz I like it...looks so pimpy!

IF you really want it - i think the camber on the wheels (especially the front wheel on the 1st picture...) looks quite strange... maybe it's just me or something..

are there two small holes in the front bumper?
If you're not planning to fit the license plate, those should be filled up.
And about that front wheel camber...

Thanks guys.

Actually, I did the camber on purpose. It's because a lot of the VIP cars in Japan have wild camber settings. Plus, I wanted to slam the car. If I raise it up a little, the wheels would straighten up. But I tucked the wheels in the fenders...that's why it's like that.

And I will put the license plates on.

Thanks though...let me know if there's anything else I want to improve.

I'm actually going to build a stereo system for the trunk...as well as a little nitrous bottle...hehehe


Oh yeah, what's the best way to paint that chrome strip around the car? I masked it off and painted with a brush, but I still messed up a little...

i read this somewhere... you can lightly score a line with an exacto knife. It'll keep the paint in it's place.
never tried it myself, so tell me if it works.
