[Kits] Snagged brand new kits: K-Break life

Today i got these brand new kits by Aoshima. They were announced this spring at Shizuoka Hobby Show.

Toyota Crown (GRS18) K-Break Hyper Zero

Kit included Hyper Zero Custom bodykit (front/sides/rear)

front grill (the same as in K-Break Platinum specs)

new LED headlights, K-Break Sniper muffler (the same as in K-Break Platinum specs)

19" Delta X rims with low-profile kiwami tires

decals for aero parts, which is simple to applying to give realistic look of HyperZero aero without painting, and of course KB HyperZero main decals (windows, sides, top, pinstripes).

By the way kit included stock headlights, stock muffler and stock grill.

Nissan Cima (Y31) Impul 731s (late type, Ohbayashi specification)

Finally Aoshima has released an aero spec Cima Y31, i've been waiting for a long time. It's Impul 731s, one of the aero that existed before the VIP style as is. It’s the very first generation of the famous Cima. Absolutely love the overall presence of this car.
Stock bumpers are molded with body and kit included aero lip, skirts, wing, fog lenses and suspension parts for Type II-S version. So we can build stock version, Type II-S and Impul 731s.

Rims are 18" K-break Fivesta with low-profile tires

but personally i would prefer Stich Mesh III, Koenig IMP, Koenig WRV or OZ Futura, so i bought the last one (look below).

Wheels for that Cima
OZ Futura 18" by Fujimi

K-Break Crown Majesta (UZS14) (kiwami ed.), was rereleased earlier in 2012

This is the first edition aero by K-Break for 14 Majesta. Wheels are fresh to death! 19 inch Koenig WRV with deep dish lips.

Factory retrofitted chassis for low stance and big wheels (only in kiwami version, this is absent in the first kit of k-break majesta). I already did the same with 2GS chassis.

Stock bumpers are molded with body, so we have both versions to build.

[Finished] Celsior K-Break Platinum: Photoset

I think a lot of people have the misconception that the VIP-style is just taking a sedan, dropping it on the ground, putting some deep-dish wheels on, and adding a body kit. While some of the cars don’t look like they have much done, it couldn’t be further from the truth. The body kits, if not complete custom one-offs, are all modified extensively, custom lighting solutions, the amount of suspension work is staggering, the builds are way more than what can be seen. This Celsior is no different. The work is done to a level that looks so simple, but the work done to this car really pushes the envelope when it comes to VIP.

Spoiler:

I’ll start with the exterior of the car as that’s where the tough appearance is centered around. The front bumper, side-skirts, and rear bumper are K-Break Platinum Type V that have all been worked over to give it the K-Break touch, but the custom touches were largely due to the fender work. The fender work is definitely something you can’t ignore, radiused, flared, and sculpted to perfection. Another exterior highlight is the carbon roof and trunk spoiler which is a nice touch that compliments the blue pearl paint, and the black details of the grille, wheels, and lights.

The last feature i wrote, i talked about the custom lighting that has been popular in the VIP culture lately, and this car features a few custom lighting touches as well. The headlights have been customized with custom scratch built projectors, matte black paint, and LED signal lights. Out back are custom, smoked tail lights. The exterior of the Celsior has that balance of elegance and aggressiveness. With the subtle paint and classy bodywork, the monstrous fenders lead you on to believe that there is something special yet to be found in this car.

The one more feature of this car is definitely the stance. The way the car looks sitting still, or rolling down the highway with the wheels tilted in just really does it for me. Not only does this Celsior rock some healthy negative camber, but the car is too close to the ground. This car is sitting on a set of T-Demand coilovers which seem to be the popular choice for those in the VIP culture that like to roll ridiculously low static. 

To keep with the car’s aggressive nature, i'm looked to SSR wheels for a solution. The SSR Professor SP1 is a classic wheel that definitely combines both elegance and toughness with it’s multi-piece, deep-dish, 5-spoke design. With the centers finished in matte black to match the grille and lights, I couldn’t think of a more fitting wheel for the car. Sitting behind the SSR wheels is an Endless 6-pistons calipers and big photoetched T-Demand brakes which fill out the wheels nicely. It’s always nice to see some big-brakes behind a big set of wheels. All part of that balance.
