Molding Wide Body Kit Onto Gc Coupe And Repaint - 22b/P25 Tribute - Part 2 of 2 

Thanks brother, means a lot to us. I so wish we had some sun for the outdoor walk around on this one 😭

Not really it's a 5 out of 10 paint job, full of dirt and fish eyes

I agree 💯

The finish is straight out of the gun, i will be seeing it in spring once cured for a de nib and polish. For the fuel door The clip wont reach the latch as it is. You could use the sport bumper as well. But yes they typically meant for the standard bumpers, however they dont really just fit as you seen. But easy fix

@@TheSubieSanctuary that makes sense. Widebody problems!

Thats wicked dude! Small world eh

Goth or bust 🙌

They were pretty simple, a clean cut along bottom to reach top of rockers pinch weld. So the pinch weld still protrudes. Then bond the top flush with door sill and then it was easiest to sand top perfectly flat after it was bonded

No way! I never would have guessed yours was 6oc kit. You did get it to turn out sweet too

@@TheSubieSanctuary Thanks man. The 2 main things i did to finesse it was mounting the front fenders outward where it mates to the bumper for better body flow. Also pushed out the rear quarters where they mate to the rocker for more flared look. Btw, Loving that colour u used on this car!

@@robertstaff ya definitely not the most conventional fitting kit. But with patience and some tricks can be made to fit real nice. Im still shocked yours was a 6oc, well done for sure

@@robertstaff would love to see some pics of yours man! This is actually my car and I gotta say Jesse and team absolutely killed it with this build. Can't wait to pick it up!

no lie. I'm in the middle of debating whether to sell my gc8 or not but i can make this kit (which is still sitting in it's box) look as good as yours... I'm definitely keeping it!

Thanks brother, for the front bumper we actually cut a small pie cut out of bumper and mended it back together. Made the cut near the furthest back mounting point to fender. I feel like mention it in vid but cant recall. Once placing bumper on it was obvious that it needed modification or else your correct it would have looked like poop. This did turn out incredible for the 6oc kit, I believe as well possible one of the best fit of this kit. It was a lot of work to make it look so clean but definitely was worth the effort.

Yes actually! I know i missed showing those in this vid. We used some plastic stuff, cut to shape, mounted as high as we could in wheel well to keep room for wheel rebound, then riveted in place and seam sealed for weather proof

May be able to see those filler pieces in the drivetrain swap vid i made on the car. Not out yet, but couple weeks

No bondo glass, we used panel bond and then more panel bond for the transition. Then to rid the texture of the plastic kit we smoothed with filler.

@@TheSubieSanctuary ah makes sense. I was looking at how smooth the filler looked when he was doing the tramsition. So that panel bond sands like a filler when dry?

@@Nicatlotus yes it does sand well actually. Its amazing stuff really

Not bad for our temperature at the time. One issue i found molding on a plastic kit. The static of the plastic! Got a lot of nibs on the quarters due to the static. Nothing i cant knock down and polish. It had made me look into anti static guns only to find out they are like $2k 😭 overall, definitely a nice finish.

It is factory subaru colour, 08V (midnight black pearl) from the 02-03 impreza’s. Super cool colour i love it

@@TheSubieSanctuary that’s a mad as car what you’s did to it love it and thanks

You can, but we left it in place and used the supplied filler piece in there

For the skirts, we bonded them along top and bottom and then molded them with panel bond. Then body filler for final. This kit is plastic

@@TheSubieSanctuary Thanks for getting back to me!

Hey, your knowledge is showing

@@tyler450f this was the 6oc kit, not recommended compared to luansport or abw

There is zero fisheyes 👌

Would be very pure 🙌

@@mrtitanium427 possibly the coolest build ever. Especially in that body.

@@TheSubieSanctuary I can't wait to make certain individuals soil their pants...damn kids and their shitboxes!

Get it from launsport or abw

@@TheSubieSanctuary I'll look, what country is that from?

Launsport will come from japan Abw will come from Europe

We use urethane seam sealer for metal seams, but you need epoxy primer on them first or at least etch primer

@@TheSubieSanctuary I mean on the bodykit seams, what kind of body filler is it?

@@Rosteripulla 2 part rage ultra for the filler. 3m panel bond for attaching it

This is 6oc kit

@@TheSubieSanctuary what body filler are you usejng to mold it to the car

@@camdyngillman9468 ah yes, 3m panel bond!

It was a lot of work, id say excluding rust repair and dents (because they range so much depending on car) probably about 160 hrs start to finish with a complete dissemble for a proper paint. An abw or launsport would be less hours to install since bumpers and front end just bolt up

@@TheSubieSanctuary dangg thats not bad

@@KDD8 not too bad considering our rate. Overall job is about the same cost as most shops good paint jobs. Get us making money on youtube and id just do these jobs for nothing to make videos 🙌

That would be rad as heck!

Un measurable trimming to mount them. The bottoms are butted right up to the very top of rocker pinch weld
