Nice one Crismag!

You have to tell me where to get rims like that. I know changing the rim & adding low profile tires is one way of making the finished model look special.

Hanep galing!!

How do you make the paintwork so shiny? Is it the same process as painting a real car? Can we see interior shots?

those rims came as option rims for the R34 my GF bought me last christmas i also have 2 sets of low profile rims that i had my aunt from the states order for me and sent here. the body kit ( front, rear and side skirts are scratchbuilt using putty. if youd notice my sky blue skyline, it is the same kit with this one, i just modified the body kit to make it lowered

painting car kits is more tedious and time consuming to achieve the shiny look, yup your right, its the same process of painting real cars, you have to wetsand every coating with fine sandpaper, although i only have up to 2000 grit sandpaper

the spoiler is also scratchbuilt using styrene sheets althoug there are aftermarket spoilers but costs really high and can only be bought on-line

If you add a twin 7.62mm FN MAG on the roof, it'll be perfect.

I like the car it looks real. You sure this isn't your real car? :-)

I know of a place which sells 4000 grit sandpaper, well it's a talyer talaga! Haha! I think those go for about 65 a pad, so medyo masakit tlga haha!

This R32 is the same one with the personalized visor-letterings right? I've been able to spot an R32 roaming my village in paranque -- hehe! How much kuha mo sa AM-magwheels mo?

Spoiler is scratchbuilt? That makes it even more exceptional. Again, awesome work, Crismag.
