The Dude Abides Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Some things i would change but it looks like they did a nice job. It just needs a teenage mutant ninja turtle sticker on the back to complete the job. Otherwise great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lkindred Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 very nice, but I agree - with that green - should have teenage mutant ninja turtle stickers on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Reminds me of my favorite inspirational quote: "Lambo doors- so overplayed even Lambos don't have them" -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 I'm not a fan of the scissor doors nor the hood scoop. The color is cool, but not for the interior. But to each their own. Its a nice job though. Still running the EA81? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twitch de la Brat Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 "Cough" "Cough cough" +1 It looks like they went all "Fast and Furious" with it. I don't mind the green and black color scheme, but the hood scoops? And Lambo doors? And why did they put a steel plate to mount in the stereo? and not paint it?

Flowmastered87GL Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 if it had normal doors and a WRX hood scoop, then I'd hit it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivantruckman Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 needs a 6 inch lift, could rock crawl with the gull wing doors open ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomRhere Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 +1 It looks like they went all "Fast and Furious" with it. I don't mind the green and black color scheme, but the hood scoops? And Lambo doors? And why did they put a steel plate to mount in the stereo? and not paint it? Twitch Thinking I could live with the hood scoops, but NOT the doors. Ruined it... Radio plate looks like brushed aluminum or brushed stainless steel. Not a real fan of that Green either, but the look of the body is real nice otherwise, sans the Lambo doors.

bheinen74 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 The license plate is cool. kinda wish my state could allow that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Iowa doesn't allow personalized plates? Huh...:-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast I Drive Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 its not just a personalized plate, its an antique/collector vehicle plate, meaning that Brat is exempt from practically everything. -Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 Oh its a collector plate, we have those. Costs enough though.. But the deal with those are, you can only put so many miles onto the vehicle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Txakura Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I can handle the hood, exterior and upholstery, not the floor mat's lighter green. The doors are... really odd on that. I do like seeing what can be done and wouldn't knock the guy for something that comes down to taste. Not entirely my thing, but if he did all the work himself, it's cool to see it. It's definitely one of a kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAugur33 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I like it. Notice the pinstripes, very nice. I'll bet he has $10,000 into that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I agree, I'm not gonna knock this guys ride. Its his and his taste, People say my car is dumb. To each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rust Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Looks great for a CT car. The CT antique plate limmits the ammount of driving you can do with the car. Looks like he put a lot of work into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampbrat Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 not exactly what I would do but -nice job! Very cool to see a clean brat instead of a low budget rusty hulk like mine have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbrat Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 The license plate is cool.kinda wish my state could allow that. Iowa doesn't allow personalized plates? Huh...:-\ yeah, Iowa has personalized plates, and starting in 2009, you can register as an antique without the to/from shows only restriction for displaying the plate.... got to be 25+ years old to qualify. you can also get limited use plates.... http://www.iowadot.gov/time21/vehicle_reg.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durania Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Too bad they riced out the interior. That faux hood scoop is just about awful. Looks like someone really wanted a tricked out BRAT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstaru Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 it looks like the jolly green giant puked on a brat....would I drive it, hell ya.just because , faux hoodscoops or not... i was just waiting for someone to do lambo doors..... :lol:cheers, brain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheinen74 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 wow, the green giant, and now, if you check ebay is a Smurf Brat. weird stuff happening i think. I tend to like original colors on cars, factory original that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I wouldn't call it a restoration. mini-truck, i guess. a factory resto would bring more collector value for the effort into the car. it better have an ej with this hero in a half-shell(turtle shell hi-topper? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Now that would complete the look, a Brat topper painted up like a turtle shell! Haha.. Now whats this of a Smurf Brat? Holy smurfers! Are people on crack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
