Very nice! 
What did you use to make the body kit? 
And how did you do it?
How about retaking the pictures so they're clear?

i made the body kit from epoxy putty. first i molded it how i wanted it. then when it hardened, i sanded it, along with the black paint. then a few coats of red. its actually fairly easy because epoxy putty is pretty soft.

Looks sweet... what did you use for the rear spoiler? I like the exhaust, you don't see that done too often.

no, the putty wont ever crack in most cases, unless you intend to crack it with force. the putty is adhesive and will stick to the plastic. also, even if the putty falls off when it is hard, all you have to do is use some modeling glue and glue it back, maybe sand it to give it a more one peice look.

yea, the car is slowed down in acceleration considerably, but top speed is almost the same. handling is slower, but this is a show car. the body is the black celica bit char-g. i just sanded off the black and painted it with testors red paint. i hav nothing to match the red with so it does not compare with the bit plastics.
