my SW20 custom project

Here's the SW20 MR2 i've been building for a while. This is after one coat of paint. Disaster struck this morning when the second coat ran..
Oh well.. out comes the sandpaper
The GT wing has yet to be added and so are the 18 inchers
Needs a lowering job for that road-scraping look as well.
Trying to get the look of a GT road car.
Comments, guys??

I opened out the front bumper, and made the two upright bits inside the air intake from sheet styrene. The chin spoiler is actually made from the rear spoiler. I chopped off the two ends, sanded them to shape and used tamiya putty to mold them into the body. Side skirts are sheet styrene and putty. I also extended the rear bumper downwards a little to make the rear look lower.

Oh.. and it's painted tamiya italian red

That front kit is hot !!!...excellant looking work on it.

For the seats...it would look better to go with a Matt finish instead of a gloss.

I would suggest a satin finish if you are trying to get the look of leather seats which i assume is what u are doing?

LOL... I think I remember you posting that pic before and I complained about the hood wing...

I'm always torn about the black trim. In your case, I think I would leave it off...
