found some inspiration but need reference material

[appleseed]

after getting a copy of gran turismo, i found inspiration for my next project!

here's the plan:



however, the rims turned out to be really small and the tires really thick. besides getting new wheels, i don't want to stare at the television set for reference. that's where i hope to get a bit of help from my fellow modelers out there . does anyone know if i am able to get some reference pix on the net? the pic that you see there is the only one i can come up with. the rest are just gaming sites listing the car and its fantasy specs. me... i'm just interested in the body kit and not so much the sponsorship decals.

the kit itself is okay. i don't foresee any major difficulties besides the vents on the rear bumper. since the interior is unseen, there's room for alot of imagination in terms of roll cages and such. i'm torn between stripping the interior for a more competition look or using the tub and the rest to hide the wiring for some lights. i don't think i can do both as the wiring would be difficult to hide without the tub. anyway, any help with some reference pictures from this game would be much appreciated.

thanks for the reference photos! what did you do your search under?

i really REALLY wished that i had seen these before i started. the front end on the acutal car is much more rounded than that of the game graphics. not to mention that the back end is vastly different as well. i was so irked that i cut out some of the front end to change the profile... we'll see how it goes. it'll be a mix of the two breeds...
