garner Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Ok I know some of you guys will flame me for this but here goes..... I've been preparing for body and paint work on the Brat. I've been contemplating what it'll look like after the 5 lug swap and some big rims. I also started to wonder about some ground effects sort of body add on, side skirts, spoiler, etc. This is where photoshop is so fun. Check this out And this version, with some body work photoshoped onto it I'm not real happy with the front spoiler or the rear end but you get the idea. I like the look of the body kitted version (or atleast how I see it in my head) but I also think the stock lines are pretty mean looking...... What do you think? Remember, this is a STREET rig. garner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garner Posted February 3, 2005 Author Share Posted February 3, 2005 What about some nifty fender flares Yes, I need to work those into the design, that's next in photoshop. When I clamp the gen 1 flares in place, to me, they need some trimming and part of me wants to not mess with them (they are classics). Perhaps, I'll make molds and modify some reproductions.... garner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Looks flashy - might as well add some bling-bling while you're at it. Hope you have the HP to back it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subyrally Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 i really like the second pic you made garner, that looks hot.just need to get some kind of wide body kit for it and tuck some wide rubber under it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubaruJunkie Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I like the skirt verson. But I think you should mold a new rear bumper to the rear skirt, and bring the front skirt out alittle as well. You dont want it to look like a car with no bumpers, do you? I love the blue tinted windows too -Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweet82 Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 I like it... I believe Caboobaru is going to do the same basic thing to his 78 Brat. Do it! Glenn, 82 SubaruHummer 01 Forester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboobaroo Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 thats right Glenn. I did some nifty drawings when I still lived in Oregon by hand and all I have to say is that they look very similar to the second pic of yours garner. If McBrat still has it, he has a pic of my gen 1 front spoiler I bought from him and it looks very much the same as the one in the pic. Maybe he still has a pic of it somewhere.....

MorganM Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 They look better with a lift and MTs That Shark mobile is kinda cool..... except for the silly spoiler on the tailgate :-p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxalplyx Posted February 3, 2005 Share Posted February 3, 2005 Garner, I like the 1st pic the best. The 2nd pics underside spoiler makes it look like a boat with wheels for some reason. If the 'shark' mobile was painted blue, it'd look similare to your 2nd pic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like em but a bit beyond where I want to go..... keep em coming!!! BTW, anyone know who owns "Shark"? I'm curious about how that 5 lug swap was pulled off..... garner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garner Posted February 4, 2005 Author Share Posted February 4, 2005 Garner!...if you are going to go rwd i say throw some some rims with FAT polished dish on them .. I'm going XT6 AWD tranny, this thing needs as much traction as it can get.... I'm estimating the XT6 suspension stuff I'm swapping in for 5 lugs will widen the track about 5-6" so it's going to have some fat meats on it.... I just ordered some Kamei spoilers to try. I got a front for Gen 1 and a rear for Gen 2, hopefully I can make the rear work with a little heat gun action and some fiberglass..... garner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
