Lots of aftermarket rims look good on it. I've got some Aoshima 19's going on mine. The body is pretty nice looking; the wheel openings seem completely stock. Great decals for emblems etc.
This weekend I shimmed the leading edge and bottom of the front doors w/.015" styrene strips, shaved/sanded the excess and glued them in place. Added some strip styrene door handles. It will be a fun, simple build.

Darn it! You went and "PIF'fed" the kits wheels off somewhere else, didn't you?!?! 
(Don't mind me... I'm a wheel slut! :shock: )
Thats not typically the kind of model I build, but I'm intrigued enough to, at least, go look at one. It does have "Table" presence!

I'm waiting to see how you're going to replace those missing doorhandles.
If it doesn't look to hard, I'll have to get one.
Otherwise, Not!

They're recessed on that car, so i'm going to dig a little hole, putty from behind and put in a piece of strip..... as soon as my finger heals. I gave myself a #11 owwie Tuesday night. :oops:

Picked one up today.... Yeah, I guess you're right... Those wheels are pretty insane! I'm not against the "Big Wheel Bling" style, but those verge on ridiculous!
On the other hand, its a pretty interesting kit. I may have to move this one up the list of things to do! Khart got it right though, lose the bad graphics and carbon fiber. I think "deblingment" would be proper english...

Here's what the engine bay of a STS-V looks like:
So, I guess it's up to you if you want to make it look similar or just do a curbside.

I just picked up this kit today. I think I'm really going to enjoy building it out.
The engine bay insert is chromed, so I'll either have to give it a bleach bath or just paint over the chrome with Testor's acrylic.
I'm leaning towards a wine-red pearl paint job, with a silver base along the bottom. I'll have to mentally play with the paint scheme for a while.
