Its Spring over there isn't it? Probably humid and hot as hell... if you were in the U.S at a decent elevation right now you'd be in the 13s.

I really like your kit, and your car...
I like the paint you chose to use when painting the headlight assembly...makes it look like it's glowing (like there's a light back there) when the sun shines on it.
Do you have any engine shots? more pics of your car? make a showroom thread for yourself if you already haven't...
I always REALLY, REALLY wanted to go to New Zealand...looks like there's a big tuner scene over there as well. I was going to last winter (your summer) for a study abroad program at my college but didn't have enough money to cover down payment and final costs....
Hopefully one day in the near future I will be in New Zealand (what's it like there in the winter time?) snow?

Dude, I think this qualifies for the Drag racing section as well
