    So I had originally bought the Matrix Workshop spoiler for Siege Sideswipe and later on Hasbro released Earthrise Sunstreaker. With other spoiler kits for Sideswipe I thought 'Hey this could work!' and after about an hour of cutting and then some glue I came up with this.

    Not the best looking but it works for me!! I just need to paint it silver and then it's done. The posts came from the spoiler from ER Wheeljack, cut up, and glued to the modded MW spoiler. Some pics to show my process I did. As always let me know what you think!!

    Looks great :thumbs2: 
    This is what he was missing. Could you show him from more angles in alt mode, please?
    And is the difference between the yellows in-hand as bad as in pictures?

    Update!!! Added a quick go of silver to the spoiler and as requested some more angles of it. Gonna let it dry and then will add another coat. Turning out pretty good I think.

    In hand to me the yellows look fine, but sadly in pictures they don't match. Again to me in person they flow decent together only thing he needed was a spoiler. Other than that he is a really good figure!

    Could you make some pictures from kind of ground level after you applied the second layer of silver, please? Like you would make pictures of an actual car.

    Here are 2 quick shots and yes the posts are still white. Once it dries I'm gonna pull them off and paint the posts white and the underside. Thinking of leaving the outer bits black, but once I push them in more they will line up(kinda) better than what they are in these pics.
