Almost done.
good news is i've found the front headlight, and bad news is i've lost both rearlight...#$%^! This one for real. Paint with tamiya racing white, some bleed (almost fed-up)but i think can be solve by giving some 'love'  . Just curious with tamiya racing white, is it a bit yellowish or my rattle can hv expired? any experience guys? p/s: The decal is for Inkjet printer. BMF decal paper and i'm using canon ip4200 printer.   |

Hi kalam2b....yeap the TMY racing white is a bit of yellowish compare to white or pure white so don't worry as is not 'expired'. So the 'Racing white color' i used it mainly on WRC or Rally car... Your WIP alteeza looking good...very 'unique' on the color scheme; black from bonnet,top andthe rear...reminds me of Lambo Gallado SE...cool I'm not sure about the BMF decal paper being printed with inkjet printers, i'm afraid the ink will 'smear' if u soak the printed decal into water...Laser Printer is recommended...my point of view la.. |

xtreme makeover. Befitting thread title
 . The bodykits nicely refined not as bulky as previous pics, much better & subtle. Decals also look good. More pics on your SXE10. |

Still decalling. preview:
  Maybe to much, but...... (first attempt on custom decal ) Decal for inkjet, i do agree with PcEvo it smeared a bit. better find good printer for printing(laser /alps). |

Good Built Kalam! I think this more then extreme makeover. You did justice to the car. Thank god you removed the 2 fog lamps from the old built
. The only comment I have is that there is too much sponsors decals on the car  . It looks a little confusing loh! By the way how did you get the decals made for your car? The kalam decals? You know anyone that can make it? |

Thanks guys.
Still not fully satisfied with the finishing. (a few scrathes, and a bit smeared decal). And the kit already fatigue, easily to crack. Maybe can improve in my next makeover. Kenneth : I'm using BMF Decal via my canon inkjet IP4200. Clear it with tamiya clear. ( Gunze clear is better than tamiya clear, less smear . Just my 2cents) |

Very extreme indeed. The color pattern looks like the ASMA Design Eagle II Sport Edition.
I agree with Kenneth on the decal matter. |
