its a very nice car but,
you should do some touch up jobs, and also redo the tailights cuz they are kinda iffy, safe with the headlights, the paint job is pretty cool, i havent seen anyone do a sparkle paintjob that looks good. The carbon fiber tape on teh spoiler messes it up, you could easily use the tape and properly apply it onteh spoiler to make it look more real. the scoop is great but the end of it has bumps on it. you should buy a new set of stickers, and careful not to let them stick on anything else but the car, this causes teh stickers to stand out and look like sqaures.
but overall the car is pretty good.
im a perfectionist

i agree with all the people who say it looks like crap. Is that hood scoop hot glued on? it looks like it is. The carbon fiber tape looks like it was applied quickly and so do the stickers. The sparkle paint job looks like little specks of something is stuck to the car. Remember that it doesnt matter if it is sparkles or stuff stuck to the car if it looks like stuff stuck to the car then you wanna redo it. All togeather i think the car looks sloppy and quickly done.

well i think it looks good for what its supposed to be. you should have mixed your own metallics into the paint. use some really fine stuff, and paint the little stuff first, like the grille then mask it, if you accidently mess it up, then do some touchup. once you apply the stickers and everything, go over it with 2-3 coats of clear coat to hide the sticker edges. i hope i helped some. you are a much better painter than i shall ever be. but until i get good i blame my bad jobs on not having an airbrush. he he he
sawhit4: i think you mean roof scoop?

DOH! my bad typo. Anyway is the guy who made the car still coming back to this thread? If not he needs to cuz most of the people on here who have looked at his car and didnt like it have left some pretty good advice for him but eveytime someone tries to give him some advice he takes it like they are saying his car is crap. If he would just apply all the stuff people have left for him his next car would be awesome. I also agree with aperson about the sparkles looking really big. Tamiya paints are for hardbodys like the xmod body but they are made by tamiya for tamiya models which have much larger bodies. So by using the tamiya paints the sparkles look oversized. If you have an airbrush you could kill to birds with one stone and get the metalic orange you want and mix paints with finer sparkles.

yea im still here, sorry for taking off like that but ive been busy, i totaly agree with the fact that i rushed this car..  im simply waiting for rs to release a 1995-1999 eclipse/talon or a 03+ 350z, i also plan to order a remote for my xmod and start tuning it again because i want to still be the first to exceed 50 mph since 40 was done.. on a good note ive rebuilt my mountain bike, custom painted everything and fabricated a center mount speedo plus a custom underglow neon kit.
its sad that i havent touched my xmod since march, but rest assured it hasent been forgoten
