What do you think?







Paint isn't perfect, especially in the rear.

Model kit from Hong Kong. Couldn't find anywhere in the US that had the 07/08 model kit.

"Uh sir.... you've got 5 days to remove that window tint. Here's your citation."
That's what I got on the third day of owning my Z.

Your model looks very cool!

Yep. I put 5% tints on there. But around here only 35% is legal.

couple of questions about the model...

did you paint the wheels? it looks like they come with some kind of metallic coating.

There's nothing under the hood of this model, correct?

I painted the wheels white after stripping the silver paint they came in. I didn't have to but I repainted them once cuz I didn't like how they looked.

There is no motor. It's just a flat surface under the hood which kinda sucks.

IDK - looks like one of those black and white cookies you see in the deli...
What about some rota grids in white or if you have money - TE37 in white
That might help...

Maybe try some black side mirrors as well? Looks nice. I wish I had a model of my car.
