Usual Fujimi quality, I had to cut the original bumper off and try make the Mugen one fit, I had to cut out the vent holes in the bumper aswel. The paint isn't perfect but I'm not changing it now.

The wheel displayed on the box don't actually come with it so I ordered the correct mugen wheels for it. The wheels that I got were male fitment though and I had to cut up the kit wheels to make them fit, I just cut the centre hub off the originals and glued them on to the pin in the new wheels

The suspension had to be dropped quiet a bit so I chopped the shocks and heated and bent the front subframe to match

Nearly finished, I probably should have painted the wheels bronze. What do people use to tint windows? Is it just a case of using regular car tint film?

Window tinting is usually done with tinted clears. Tamiya is the brand I go with for all of my bottled translucent, but brand will be up to you. I believe a couple of niche companies may make a "window tint" paint, I cant remember.

Good build, cant wait to see the finished product.

I started this about three years ago and lost one of the headlights so shelved it, I eventually ordered s new kit just for the lense and finally finished it. 
It took a lot of modification to cut the bumpers off and lower the suspension but I think it turned out pretty good
It's also the first time I used a fujimi muffler and I am going to order a load of them, they are awesome.
