I like how the color/logo in the grill turned out.

Feel free to tell me it's in the wrong order. It's really small and I like it anyway.

The black rally Porsche is from a multi pack. The tampo doesn't include headlights even tho they're doing the hood, and it has red/white stripes only, where the mainline has red/white/bronze on all the stripe locations.

Not the end of the world but a little surprising to see how they eliminate even the smallest things.

The package wasn't doing this model any favors. It's much better free.

Includes my ßTH wheel swapped F40, and a couple of Maisto Speed Machines models that actually look pretty good imo.

This started as the #73 livery in the triple Nissan set from earlier this year. Pulled most of the graphics but kept a pinstripe, the Skyline badge on the rear quarter panels, and one accent mark on the fender.

Added a few touch up hilights, and did swap the wheels (thanks to this sub, absolutely love the new wheels, so appreciate the feedback).

Imperfect photos, but that's wabi sabi.

I'm kind of torn.

The wheels on the Skyline are unique; they're not basic hot wheels filler. As far as I know they're only on this model, and I think they look alright.

I also like the real rubber 4 spoke ones. Just unsure how it would look swapped. Because I clip the old wheels and use hollow axles (to avoid drilling rivets and reassemble) I won't be able to go back to OEM if I remove.

Curious if you think swap is the way to go, or if OG rollers is unmatched for this specific casting.

Title for clicks, pictures for tax. The real question is more nuanced:

I've climbed and skied a number of PNW volcanoes. In my experience, there's often an icy level at a particular elevation, there is a band of good skiing, And then usually a wider than you would want section of sticky or slushy snow.

Is this just the way it is? Or is there season/timing/conditions where it's possible to avoid the ice crust/bulletproof compact, and minimize the melting out drag fest?
