Default Not your average(scale) VIP style GS!

showin some GS lovin!

my brother owns a silver VIPstyle GS and i was gonna make a replica of his car, but decided to do something else. Anyway, its a tamiya Lexus GS400 body painted metallic black with work meisters staggered. 85% finished as i still need to paint/install side mirrors, curtains, custom TTE lip, and possibly rear lip. Let me know what you think and if you have an RC you would like to post, please post away!

these are the only pics i got on my work comp. The wheels in the pic are gram lights but have been changed with the work meisters. I'll show you guys a better pic when i get home. Mirrors are installed, light buckets need to be installed, hybrid and 600H decals have been put on as well but i'll post later tonight

all these are 90% finished and just gotta add curtains, license plates, and other misc things i can think of.

the aristo is made by Tamiya and can be found on their website,Ebay, genkidoridori.com and or at your local hobby shop.

the LS600 is made by ABC Hobby and the honda odyssy is HPI. I only have one chassis but several different style bodies and rims lol

you can get these at your local hobby shop. They don't come like this, you gotta pick out what body/wheels/motor/etc you want. If you want one just for show and not racing/drifting it, i would get a simple tamiya TT-01 or HPI E10 which are entry level kits and just hop it up to your liking.
