Pretty sure they all had blue valve covers, and the hood vent and bumper should be trim black if you want it to look original. I know stripe delete was an option, but not sure if any came out as SMG with no stripes... I'd have to think there were some though.

doesn't look bad, but if you don't like it maybe do a gun metal wheel. I love the gunmetal wheels on my grey 15.

Not sure how I feel about these. I tried a black chrome look on the kit wheels. I feel tjey may be too dark. Thoughts?

I got some color on the chassis tonight. I found a Rustoleum light bronze that looked good for the exposed primer. Dusted it with some sterling gray for over spray and used a few different colors and shades to give it a little realism.

A little heat may work. How bad is it?

I have one of those, but the hood is warped. I'd build it if I could find a new hood.

I picked this kit up super cheap at some point this year and figured I would have a go at a mostly box stock 1/12 build. Last year there were no big scale kits at the Showdown, so, I hope to change that this year.

This one will be sterling gray metallic. I will probably build it without stripes. Can anyone check and see if any of them left the factory in this color without stripes?

I'm undecided on how to finish the hood vent (proper term?), front bumper lip, and rwar spouler. I'm not sure if I want to do black or carbon fiber.

The engine is already complete, and just needs some detail. It is from a different build, but will speed things up on this one. Were blue valve covers the standard color for all cars?
