STi Convertible?

Ok. I mainly done this because after making the new brat My brother asked me to make a WRX Convertible. Well heres what I started with

And this is what it turned into


:::EDIT::: 22/04

How about that one?


I shortened the wheel base. took off the roof and B pillars, re-drew the spoiler, and done some touching up.
So what do you think of it? I personlly like the hard top version, but this looks kinda cool. I know some people who would prolly pick it over the original.

Re: STi Convertible?

less of a hump over the rear wheel and a smaller spoiler would make it look better in my opinion. Nice job remaking the car though.

Yeah, I see what you mean. But I am trying to keep the bar as much original as i can (with still making it look different) I kinda like the bump, and the spoiler is.. well, I like it .. Still, I like the brat i done better. I'll have to get a page up on my site with all these. I've been a little slack latlly.

Re: STi Convertible?

Nice photoshopping. I like the 'hips', hate the wing. But then, I hate wings in general ... wings belong on airplanes. I could see a hard top cover that covers the whole rear cockpit and makes a roadster out of it. I think you would need a crossbar of some sort to keep the cockpit from twisting.
Tres Kewel!

Chop the windshield an inch of two (the wing will have to be chopped propotionately) and you'll have something outstanding. If you chop too much it will look modified, you just want to shave enough off to make it elegant.

Other then that, it looks incredible...I need to learn to play with photoshop, it looks like fun.

Re: STi Convertible?

Great work in the photo shop area. The back of the car looks a little empty don't you think. It needs some roll bars like in the A/C 427 Shelby Cobra.
