Looks good bud. I'd have trimmed the body's bumpers a bit more so it sits on the TR bumpers better. But I still like it, especially how you painted the grill.  |

The bumpers are actually halfway trimmed off from stock...i agree it would look better sitting down some but when test fitting if it went any lower i would have major rub in the wheel wells and would have to almost trim away the entire fender flare....so I just had to split the difference you know...trimmed some bumper and some fender flare.... yeah the rear of the XJ body sticks way out..the rear bumper is as far out as it will go and it sits right on top of the TR rear bumper...but all in all im happy with how it looks...and i get hardly any tire rub the color is frost green backed with brilliant silver....then the whole thing backed with black.....all Tamiya rattle can.  |
