Fail.
I started off doing well....but I have gotten so many ideas, that I rushed myself and this is the results:
It isn't a total loss; I will buy another HPI Imprezza body and use the same Seibon Carbon / Endless as its main sponsor, but I will switch from spray cans to airbrush, find a new body design, and utilize new detailing and modding tricks I picked along the way, like building front/rear diffusers, modding the front end to add mesh grills and learning how to paint my own custom carbon hoods. Just to think, I used to be pretty good at hooking up bodies......
Inputs and critisim welcome.

Well it has been a while since I was doing body after body...I really need to get back into doing my own paint schemes and logos.
I have been learning some new tricks from the guys at Groovy Drift; and I found out some interesting things, like allowing your paint to completely dry before using Shoo Goo. Here are some shots of my newest body the Nissan S15:
I learned how to create my own front splitter, I added mesh grills throughout the front end of the car, and smoked the front and rear lights (found some chrome rc paint that is great for light buckets). I have to start learning how to use my airbrush properly in order to really start painting bodies....I have a great body design in mind coming up....

I remember when r/c racing was about looking good too.... That is why companies like Tamiya (they always had highly detailed models) and Yokomo have shells everyone wants. But lately, guys have been doing their own modifications and racing them as well.
Besides, what is the car gonna do while the batteries charge?
