Yup! It takes some small modifications to make it fit perfect. The RS and bugeye bumpers are surprisingly similar, My fog lights are off a bugeye as well.

Yeah I'm kinda on the fence with the vents and scoop and spoiler blade. Right now they are wrapped in DiNoc. The whole car is vinyl wrapped so color matching them is quick.

As for the spoiler i wish it was a real one, it's a bakemono replica. It's adjustable and has the coupe 3rd brake light with the trim cover piece over it just like the real thing. It's a decent copy, I'm pretty happy with it.

you"re kidding me right? Your entire car is a WRAP???

That looks AMAZING!

Did you wrap it yourself? How much did it cost? Was it hard to do? how long did it take?? I'm totally intrigued by this wrapp thing....

Yup, the car used to be multi colored. Its Avery supreme wrap. I took a car wrapping class with a friend who is getting into wrapping cars, my car was one of the first cars we did so labor was free. The film itself was about $500 but I have a ton left over.

Time wise we did it over a few weeks because my schedule wouldn't let me do it all at once. You could do it in a weekend if that is all you did.

Awesome, I really like that lip(kit) on a gc. What's the difference in fogs between gc and bugeye? I've got covers...

jimmythagreek · 09-03-2012, 02:11 AM

Bakemono Rep 22B wing!?!?!? You mean he finally managed to make one? Glad his borrowing my 3rd brake lamp cover (from the OG wing he sold me) to make the mold wasn't in vain!

Yeah, I was inspired by several of the other GCs in the beginning of this thread.

As for the fogs, they are the same actually. The only difference is the rear cap with the wiring, the RS and bugeye have a different plug(this is easily fixed by swapping the rear cover or a soldering iron).

Yup! Trey said the 3rd brake cover was the most pain in the butt part of making the whole spoiler. He has to one off every cover himself. Half the time it doesn't come out right so it means recasting another and hoping it is good. I had to wait a long time to get the cover. He said hes probably not going to make any more 22B spoilers(after he sells what he has in stock) because its such a PITA.

He was having trouble casting the cover out of polyurethane, it wouldn't cure all the way through most of the time, and it would take forever. So he ended up making most of it out of fiberglass with a red polyurethane center.

Yea I remember him describing the 1st trial where the poly shot out of the mold into his eyes.

I'm sure it's hard to make them worth the effort given the amount of folks interested and the price they'd be willing to pay.

backslider · 09-05-2012, 05:16 PM

I need some newer pics of my car as there have been some changes, but this is from last year.

thesoundproject · 09-07-2012, 02:37 AM

Here's some pics to keep the thread alive.

Donutz · 09-12-2012, 12:23 PM

it's achieved a state of completion so figured I'd post up. The color looks like Sedona Red (under the right light), but it's actually Chrysler Sunburst Orange with a black basecoat so it changes colors based on lighting pretty drastically.

and it's got an EZ30 swap

as it currently sits with 2011 stockers

with the US Army Spec Ops Impreza

one last one on the dyno

I was going to flare it but it only weighs 2600 lbs with a full tank of gas so I left it alone (my flares are for sale, PM me if interested. They're made for 4 dr GC).

Jesus you guys dont read well do you?

He said he put suede on the dash. YES you can also buy a material and "flock" a dash, but this is NOT.

The educational system really does fail with some kids doesn't it.
