Looks reall cool, great paint job, but i think you could make a couple of improvements;
First the creases in the hood decal make it look untidy and unrealistic, i suggest removing it and add another from CF decal. Just lay down a piece with plenty of overlap then trim around the panel line when its almost completly dry.
Second, a lowering job would improve the look.
Third, bringing out the panel lines with a wash or gundam pen would improve the detail and add more realism.

This is my first time dealing with the CF decal. The decal came together with the kit, and my local hobby stores doesn't seem to carry CF decals.

I know it doesn't look nice without lowering, I have never done lowering before. Could someone teach me how to do it?

njh, there are a number of local hobby stores carrying CF decals. I am not trying to promote David's shop but maybe you can try his shop in Grandlink Square near Paya Lebar Mrt station. He got quite a number of CF decals.

I am not sure if i can make it or not, but then again, i think it is rather difficult to bring it down. I got no personal transport, have to take the bus or MRT.

You can put it inside the original box and slide it into your bag, just be careful not to smash it will do.

Everything is alright, just need some lowering
Try comming down this 4th Dec and I am sure they can help you.

Here's an easy way to drop it, for the rear, place the mount from the chassis above the originally spot on the body, get it? And for the front, do the same, just give it a little push, don't force it, this should lower it a bit, this is how I lowered my first Fujimi ITR, when I didn't want to fart around with cutting, etc. If you need some pics, just ask, I can try and get them.
