i have a couple questions about painting, and Lowering... for the under body painting.. are my colors in the picture correct? cause in the instructions its wierd and i don't understand.



Is this how you lower a car... just cut the parts of the springs?

Looks good.

As for the lowering, some kits need some other things changed too, like, because the springs a smaller, the bits that click into them on both sides need to be changed a bit. If you could get a picture of the instructions where it has the assembly of the suspension, it would be easier to say.

Why do you want to lower it? I think the ride height is good box stock. ave you at least tried test-fitting it all to see where you stand on ride height?

Looks good, although I have to say orange sure is a different color for a car. nice to see how the engine looks since all the japanese models I've made so far have been curbside.

Nice, what brand/color paint is that silver you used on the engine? Looks close to Plastikote Chrome
