its finnally done! it was a pain in da ass that required alot of scratch building and cutting and cutting and cutting....... I also lowered it more this time around, and blackwashed the brakes and painted the racing seat red/black. tell me what you guys think! :D

:thinkerg: excellent suggestion!! so much easier to work with then plastic sheets, thanks!

hmmm my suggestions.. fill the holes where the liscense plate bolts up in front bumper, shave and fill liscense plate holder in back bumper, and keep it that hight... i dont like the engine detail cuz its all too shiny, im thinkin maby blackwash?

fill holes? = not JDM anymore, and i forgot to put the plates back on hehe...
yeah, the black i used is semigloss black and flat black the actual engine cover is flat red, its not that shiney in person, the way the light is hitting it i guess................

Glad it fits and nice to see everything in there good and tight......nice swap!!

Nice work~ but IMO it's too low.

i agree:D

Damn! Nice job!:)

Looks good

I would suggest u put the license plate right here, to have the real jDM look from Japan. This is where mine is, my front license plate is a japanese license plate from my skyline.

Looks good!

great job:frog:

looks good, i like the engine

Good job on the project, pretty clean. Some of the suggestions given I totally agree with.

I also agree with the lowering job. I think in RL, you wouldn't be able to turn the wheels past about 5 degrees, so would be a nightmare. And let's not get into speed bumps (in fact, I reckon if someone left a SWEETIE WRAPPER on the road, this thing would beach :flipa: :flipa: )

But then again, it's how you want it to look, and you've done a good job. Like I say, my only real serious issue would be with the lowering job.

Have fun, on to the next project...

Thats not the "real jdm look" :rolleyes:

Skylines and Evos have their plate there because they have something called a Front Mount Intercooler, which cools the air down....putting the plate there would block the flow of the air into the FMIC

nice engine !!!! i love it :D :D

Rip that thing up and put a turbo in there and an intercooler. ;)

Looks great!

thanks for the replies everyone!, sure know how to make a guy feel good! hehe

I agree with everyone that it shouldnt be as low as i made it, i went a little overboard with it. But hey, who cares if it cant turn in real life, lets just say its got coilovers and its slammed all the way for a photoshoot? hehe

now onto my next project.......?????? hehe

Good job. Makes me want to start on my EG I just bought
