ahh a nice bit of inspiration there !
thanks......doesnt look too hard to pull off.
shouldn't be too hard to moukld with the rear, as the rear already has the shape lines, so they jsut need to be extended basically, and ill rip the arch off, and put it back to standard and jsut build up the arch....although there will be a gaping hole in my body now which i could fill pretty easily

any other options anyone has stumbled across?

thanks.....i love the civic lights, but dont like the skyline lights

the skyline i just wnated it to be unique, aswell as my civic, but i think the skyline lights looked better standard.

but.....i really like my civic lights and think they look especially good now....really works well with the whole boot flush.

Those cars are sick, I remember seeing those somewhere before, but I cant remember where. I like the Civic, but I'm not feeling the rear bumper and the side skirts too much. I like the mild bumper better. The wild one is just too, "wild" on the sides. But great body work and hope they'll come out like you want to.

good thing you said that actually, and quite weird too...because the rear bumper and skirts have been ripped off lol

and gone back to civic 1's ......its the really nice back bumper with 2 exhaust holes, ive only got 1 exhaust that ive made so far but will have two soon.

heres some pictures:






god i hate sanding

llol, they ripped off? how? I think you should use a smaller exhaust... like the ones that come with the bodykits. Have fun sanding.

Sorry for the late reply... It looks great!

As for the GT wing, Tamiya sells a 1:24 scale one. You should be able to find one at your LHS.

The only thing you may need to do is to cut it and make it narrower...

thanks for the replies

as for the wing, ill pop down a hobby store by me tomorrow see what they have....may even get some different paint maybe a flip paint would be nice.

ive been away, but its still in progress and its coming along nicely

but i am still yet to mould the rear arches, because of the holes in the side of the car which have been filled and sanded, but need filling again to make it flat. then i can mould the arches on because its in the way and will make the job harder afterwards.

ill do an update later.

luke

haha, well iv redone the front arches slightly, making them more flat instead of slanted. and just cleaned it up.

oh and tayyab, i didnt use tamiya.....i used a putty called milliput that i got from my local hobby store, basically the same thing though.
