I tried something crazy and unique.
i bought a model car.
and i took the grill that came wit it.
and i cut out all of my windows on my skyline.
and i replaced them wit the grill.and now it looks MEAN!
i also cut out all the front grill openings too.
the model car that the grill can wit was so small on the scale that the grill looks right on the bc.
i also stole the decals off the model.
imma try to cut off the front &rear bumpers to replace them wit the body kit that comes wit the model.
SORRY NO PICS>!

Do you have access to a scanner?
You can just lay the car upside down and take pics that way (at least that's how I've been doing it so far.

I'd like to see your window and grill mods.

Here's a pic I did on my scanner.

Great R32 ckw01hk - how did you make that?!

BaY oN AiM · #10 08-06-2002, 05:53 PM

i have a veil side front and rear bumper though...
u should try to take some plastic and cut it to put it in the headlights so they look shinny...
and try to make a body kit.... u need to fix the tail lights though..
its not perfect yet....
i only have the r32 front end...
the back is still r34 just the bumper is diff.

nice job though

BaY oN AiM · #11 08-06-2002, 05:56 PM

i cut off my whole front end from the dash forward and molded the front on...

I'm really impressed by the grill and the colour of your turn signals. Did you paint inside to get that colour or is there some other trick you've used?

BaY oN AiM · #13 08-07-2002, 12:32 AM

r u talkin to me?! or ckw01hk?!?

Zagatto is talking about your car, BaY oN AiM

Oh thx tinyrc.

I have read BaY oN AiM's making, I think it is too complicat for me..
hehehe.....I am lazy..
I just added autobody filler to have my sculpting.. I think sculpting is easier for me..but I also use plastic sheet to make the new rear wing(????how you call it???I don't know..)
similar to putty. And all lines and sections were rebuilt by sculpting knife.

however I need to redo many times because of my poor skills......
