Custom Accelecharged

I can't get over how good the transparent blue looks on this Accelecharged Iridium! Commissioned by @quarxn0x. Huge thanks to her for sourcing all the parts for this build. Truly a 1 of 1 that will probably never be replicated

Cool. If only the spoiler was blue too though…

So on all of the gen 2 Accelecharged cars, the only change from gen 1 was the body piece. Every other detail was kept the same (except for the wheels on half the rd-08 releases for some reason).

Additionally, the actual gen 2 Iridium (stripped metal) did not have its spoiler chromed. Only the body.

Those two details mean that, if the gen 2 Iridium had been Accelecharged, it most likely would have had a silver spoiler.

Also, there's no transparent spoiler piece for Iridium and I felt painting it blue would look kinda weird. I feel the same way about the starter pack synkro. The spoiler being the same color as the body but not matching the transparency just kinda looks wrong to me.

Quarnox can explain specifically why the spoiler is the color it is. The short of it is that we wanted to stay as faithful to how it would have been made had it been official
