Any chance for a dark gray mods kit? I don't like the blue, but really dig that red with the dark gray, and I think this set would look great in a uniform gray/red variant.

Edit: Also, maybe the blue in the kits is a tad off? In the inspiration pic it looks distinctly blue, whereas in the kits it has a more purplish hue. Of course, this may be intended, but I think it would look better with the mods more on the bluish side.

I don't think I would add a 426 C mods kit as I don't see it being successful enough at all.

As for the blue for the mods, I am changing that actually to a slightly different one but haven't exactly nailed it down yet.

Possibly, but I think you'd be surprised. Alternative color mod/alpha kits have been doing quite well lately. I don't think you have anything to lose if you add it to the IC and gauge interest at least.

As I said, the red this set uses is very nice and modern. If I were looking to get a red-on-gray/black set, I'd rather go for the colors you have here than, say, GMK Red Dragon (with alt mods) or GMK Slasher.

Idea for a cool desk mat to go with the JDM theme, something that looks kind of like Daikoku PA or Tatsumi PA with like the skyline or the highway in the background?

The mat would be great w/o the car, and I say that as a fan of the car.

Novelties would be great!

Would love to see a slightly different colorway? The blue seems too dark compared to the factory blue of GTRs/ Datsun, yet I will buy this kit in a heartbeat.

If you add a hiragana monolegends kit, please do it how Oni and Shoko did it. Namely, these keys are important.

I do understand it's based on the art, but the colorway makes me think that its missing out on not referencing Midnight Purple, the unique color that belongs only to the Skyline GT-R family.

Also sad to see no novelties.
Some ideas:

Single - "S" emblem found on 32 hood (bonnet), side "GT" emblems found on fenders
Spacebar - GT-R logo in the middle, 33, 34 grill style
Shift - GT-R Tail lights, "V-spec"
Numpad - Shift-knob style

^this. This Set needs to happen and it needs novelties. Some of these suggestions are really nice.

Has the blue color been updated? I think the one in the first render is slightly different from the original one, but it also looks more purple, and I was hoping that the final color would be more bluish (like in the inspiration image). :/

The first kit image was updated but not the others. Sorry just been really busy with things and so has the guy who did the renders and haven't gotten around to updating this fully. Focusing more on nightshade first.

That's fine and totally understandable, just please choose a more bluish instead of purplish color for this set's mods once you have more time to dedicate to it.

something like this, but i really like the bottom roll

Filled out the IC, but figured I'd mention it here too. It'd be interesting to see a pair of novelties with the iconic circular taillights of the Skyline. Maybe even do the R34 so it's not too symmetrical. Driver side on one cap and passenger side on the other cap, and it could bookend our top row or something like that

You say this like you knew what the novelties were in the first place...

I will share one day but having to get them redone for a specific reason to be announced at a later date.

First post. Love this color way. Sorry if this is disrespectful or rude, but is there any way for this to be in a different profile (MT3 or maybe SA? I haven't tried any profiles, but those look awesome and sound awesome. I have heard somewhere that MT3 is an exclusive profile owned by Drop (formally Massdrop). I understand that GMK is very high quality, so I wouldn't be mad, I'd just be happier ;)
