Beautiful color on that shell. Make sure to give us as good of chassis pictures as you have body.
Cheers, Kyle.

Thanks tayyab. The chassis is done, got a set of spare R1 batteries, so I put them on the chassis. Here's a few pics of the finished chassis. Since I have the performance, now I am moving on to the exterior look. Started working on a lip for the front bumper. Sorry, the car is a bit dirty, it needed a car wash.
Update: Painted the lip flat blac, waiting for it to dry. Also installed head and tailights to the STi. Comments are welcome.

Awesome work as always!
Not sure how I feel about that spoiler above the rear window, though..? Cheers, Kyle.

wow. seriously good photography skills plus an amazingly detailed car make for some very convincing photos. (first one had me thinking 1:1) That looks great, everything is very cleanly done. Nothing cluttered, the lip and exhaust tip really top off the detail.awesome.

Thanks for all the great feedback guys! I personally like the upper spoiler, it really isn't that bad, I will keep it on. Today, I took the STi in my backyard to have some rally fun.
In this first pic, I just wanna show the power of the AWD and the speed of how fast it was going.

I'm going to be the first to say it, I think it's to subtle. You are capable of better builds, as seen in previous projects, so why stop with mediocrity? It reminds me of those little builds motor mouth talks about on the radioshack site.
Come on, bring the heat. It looks good, but not exceptional, and doesn't stick out that much from an autoscale. You can still go subtle, I am not saying "F&F" it, but try some new tricks. Yellowed headlights, foglamps, splitters, carbon fiber-something to set it off from the pack.
