sweet i have a scion to cant wait how it looks

[bc_edition]

Nice! Its lookin good so far..Question tho, what is that white stuff that ur using and where could I pick some up? Ive see other people use it on bodykits but i dont kno what it is..Ive seen people use like thin plastic sheets or somethin to form the shape and then they applyed the putty over top for a smoother look.., is that what you did? Ive only used bondo, i find it works the best. But what ever, thanks anyways and good job:nod:

Have you ever painted a Xmod body ? I know you've painted modle car bodies with no windows that you have to tape off, but what about a Xmod ?
lol

Looks awsome right now !!!!!
I love it.

That's the same thing you said on XMOD world... lol :P

Btw this looks nice. Can't wait for final :O

[xmodkidd33]

very nice so far... you are truly gifted!:cheers: :cheers:

[BlackSky909]

Nice, looks like a body kit off of NFSU. Boo XMW.

[Monster180]

wow. looks awsome. are those tc's RWD in real life?

[viggy92]

looks sick i wan those rims 2

[valkrie hunter]

wow, that's pretty sick.

no, TC is FWD. it sucks. i would love to make a TC RWD and drift that.
well, i guess you can mod a TC and make it RWD. iono.

[Monster180]

i was going to say, the wheels looked "deeper" in the back, then in the front, thus my question. i was almost confident they were FWD

[ZackyV]

oh snap i have that issue
its the double agnt tC i think its called?
its dope as hell
looks good. nice shape you got going with the bondo.
keep up the good work budday

[Acura]

Wow Dude That Is So Awsome Lol

[ravevolution]

i seriously hated the body kits for that car, but ya turn a bad thing into a badass thing.

Now I'm thinking of gettin a scion to modify it. . . NAH I'll get a titan:lol:

[XMODification]

thanks guys, i'll post some more updates on it later. I'm actually using the Tamiya Smooth type epoxy putty - it's similar to the quick type except that it hardens faster and stays pretty smooth and clean once you shape it out good. It's in a light blue lil' box instead of the green one that the quick type comes in but I have to say that the quick type works just as good the smooth type.:bigwink:

Oh yeah- @ doc - i only have to paint the body kit and not the enter body - remember i said that it's going to be enterchangable so i don't have to worry about masking too much at all.:nod:

here are a couple more pics of some more work i did to it last night.

all that's left is to add a few more lil touch-ups, sand, prime and paint. I already ahve the paint so i think i can finish this up by the end of this week hopefully.:nod:

[streetballerzz3]

Thanks guys - those little bits right there are made from the same putty - i just added two piece and shaped it into that form. ;)

[NON_SKID]

thats gonna look awsome when its done and painted
then u should make ur own line of bodykits for cars and sell them on ebay and **** like that

[Doc4465]

That's the same thing you said on XMOD world... lol :P

Btw this looks nice. Can't wait for final :O

Yeah i do that a lot. Type it all on one site and copy it and paste on other sites. :)
Thats the way i do it. :roll: :D :p


Looks awsome.


What are you using for the body word ? Where did you buy it ?

[XMODification]

thanks guys - i finished up the Rado body kit for my tC. I learnt a few thing about working with putty so the next one i do should be more better with less flaws than this one but i most say first time working with it - i think i did a descent job. Here's the pics of the body kit on it...

This is only a body kit upgrade so like i mentioned b4 - i don't have to worry about it too much since i can still change it and start a new one using my other body kit set.:bigwink:

[Doc4465]

eh.
I don't know man. I thought you would of done a WAY better job. are you going to paint the body ? Heres a tut on how to tape off the windows. It's not hard at all.
http://www.bluespringsbmx.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=361

Check it out.
Don't let that hold you back from painting the WHOLE body that color.

There are some spots where it needs sanding. Wet sand will help.

If you want i can point out those spots , but i think you know where there at.

Other then that i like it. The body design is awsome !I love that , but the body kit a little bit different from the body ? I don't know. Your better off painting the whle thing that color.

[firebird74]

The Body kit is a slightly different shade from the body and u might want to smooth out the windows. But otherwise looks great

[RodsRUs]

looks good dude
but the paint is wayy off
you should paint it all one color..
windows are easyy to tape off

[xmodkidd33]

paint it flat black with gunmetal stripes

[ZackyV]

eh.

well if you read that issue its exactly what it looks like.
but you need to paint the body the same color too it looks off

[Doc4465]

I agree

[ravevolution]

I agree with some folks, paint the entire car.

It looks great, but i know you can do better cause i've seen your previous work. Maybe sand down the parts that are kinda messed up prior to painting the entire car.

[lilskipro587]

not to be ricer or anything lol but i think you need to make a longer and maybe a little bigger exhaust lol

[Ondraay]

Yeah...paint the whole body dude.

And I think on one of the 06 Mustang body kits there is some exaust pipes that are square-ish...those would look nice on there...

[XMODification]

thanks for the commnets and advice guys! I'll be refining it due the the obvious little stuff that i missed out. I can see that rushing this one still ended up in me putting some tlc into it later but i assure you that i'll get it looking much better before the weekend is up. It's only the kit so i don't wanna spray thewhole body just yet - i'll try something out with the paint to see what i come up with but i'll definately keep ya'll updated on it.

[firebird74]

don't even worry about how long it takes to do it dude. just have fun. Do a little each day. Leave some fun for the day to come.:dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

[frenchylaxplayer]

dude the paintjob from the body looks real good
paint the body the same color

[streetballerzz3]

yeah yo take ya time dun worry bout wat we say lol. so u should jus think bout it. my opinion is dat u paint da car da same color u painted da body kit but dazz ma flavor u kno evveryone's gott derr unique style lol like some people hate tuners nd love american muscle some vice versa :D :afro: nd some jus like both aight yo really lookin foward to wat u do wit it:ukliam:

[fordredneck]

keep it 2 toned

[Doc4465]

I like it , but with the off tone body kits.. eh. no afence or anything but i think the body should be painted as well.
So what are you going to do ?
