Thats going to be an awesome color combination Mike.

This is a great kit,  you will have no problems building it,  I cant wait to build a few more

[MikeyB08]

Love the color! Thinking of getting me one in the near future. Can I ask where you got the CF from?

[mademan]

Carbon fiber decal came from scale motorsports on ebay

Looks good so far,but i can't believe all the snow on the ground still in the background!

[mademan]

Its been melting fr days too.... there was over 3.5 feet of snow on the nova a week ago

[mademan]

got some more done in my spare time today, Im really liking the direction this one is going!

 

detailing up a bit of the etch set

etch grill and emblem installed

rear "diffuser" in place

[mademan]

did the carpet for the trunk and interior pan, using a mixture of black and grey flocking, I also used a flat clear on the seats

[Sixgunner68]

Lookin' good so far!! Can't wait to see more!

[freakshow12]

this looks really good Mike. thought you only built caddys though lol

[mademan]

I've expanded my building a bit lately. Been on an import kick lol.

[vintagedragfan]

nice start!

[mademan]

quick mock up. Body has no clear, bumpers have been cleared.

[LacrosseBoss]

great start. The photo-etching really brings this to the next level. Also, I love the carpeting. Nicely done.

[jsc]

Great job so far! I really liked that you mixed your own flocking. Much more realistic in my opinion

[Deathgoblin]

Looking at this build has just sold me on one of these kits.  Excellent work.

Sweet! Ben

[mademan]

Thanks for all the comments guys.

 

I Finished up the bumpers for the 86, I had to cut/trim the fog light bezels to accomodate the etch grills that I painted black.  I think I may go back and blackout the outer trim of the bezels though.

Looking awesome. Love the colour, the etched parts and the carpet
