Default A couple Bugs from the States JDM modded

Hi all!


My names Derek. Just wanted to share my two bugeye that I've build my self over the years. I am no mechanic and have only learned as I've gone.


I have a passion for Subarus and rare jdm parts. I love the hunt for the parts and for modifying.


I understand it's not everyones cup of tea but I love both of them in their own ways. Built completely different.

They are beautiful!

Where can I get the 1 piece grill? I'm not sure if I haven't seen them before, or haven't noticed them till now!

Thank you! I have a few changes for her in the coming months. Too cold right now with too much snow to work on her.

Chalk and cheese for me - I'm afraid I can't stand the black one, but I think the white one is absolutely awesome what a lovely looking motor.

Thanks. I like the white one as a cruiser for anything but I love my black one. It's a beast, fun with the torque and for car shows.

Thank you! Those ramps were only to do work on the front bumper and flares

Thank you guys. I know it's not everyone style and hard to please everyone but I absolutely love it.

I just finished breaking my whiteone (for money for a house) and only have the black one now. I took it to many shows this year and won some.

I also still have the TE37s for the future incase I get into road course events.
