Got this kit at a model shop close to me (which is a rarity since most are 200+ miles away). First of all, I slapped on some new tires in the rear, and some new rims all round: (Yes, the chrome is horrible, so that has to go.) The way it sits was the stance I was aiming for, but wanting to make this a quick build I had to work with what the kit gave me. So this is what I ended up with, not too bad in my opinion. Did a little bit of experimenting on the engine, and I got lucky. The way it is now, it clears the hood by about 1mm. I'll keep this updated. Lucas.

Couldn't find the pictures I needed for the update, forgot to upload them to PB. All the stuff that needed to be dechromed have had a bath in this stuff, works like a treat: 5 minutes and all the chrome is gone! After that, I washed everything, and sprayed some primer on it: Metallic black on the body (no clear yet) and spraybomb chrome on the wheels. Start of the engine: More to come... Lucas.

Good start mate, the de-chrome worked well, and love that stance too.
Will look real tuff in black I reckon.

This one is going for a dive in the purple stuff... While polishing, I went through the clearcoat and on to the metallic.
