New Scion tC project- Rado tC

[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.

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.

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]

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...

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.

[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 nd some jus like both aight yo really lookin foward to wat u do wit it

[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 ?

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.

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.

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






and just to show that it's interchangeable here's a pic of the body kit by itself>>>


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.

DUDE!! IT IS STARTING TO LOOK JUST LIKE RADO'S! DOES IT HAVE THE FLAME THROWERS WI-FI CONECTION AND FINGER PRINT ID YET?!! lol.
