Tsunami 86 - Update #7 decals and lights


OK, well the wraps are off and the stickers are on.


here is the bare shell without lights.


Light buckets I did a little differently this time. I used tint and then put most of the stickers behind the lexean buckets for extra depth. For LED buckets on the rear, I just Shoe-gooed a bit of straw for the rear lights. I use this on the red body effectively for all lights.


The front I wanted more projection. I used eagle plastic plug in mounts which are simple. the result is WAY more light than before. I'm running White in the eye and blue in the fogs. I have the red lights spare so I'll hook them up to the LED section of the fronts when I have time to solder.


front


Rear. I also have some TN Racing titanium rear exhausts with lights.... but the orange LED are so bright they look a bit dumb. So I'll smoke them over.


AE86 dash is curvy beast. so I built my own. just cut some lexan and build up a base of double sided tape. then lay your sticker over the top

The car also has a full Bride 86 interior decal set on the doors..


What do we think? cool!
