FR-S mule v. BRZ mule
 
I have had some requests for the Subaru mule to be "stripped", so I figured I would do the FR-S for comaprission.

Let's please focus on which one you guys like better (or how to improve the 'chops), and not so much on different colors/wheels/etc.


Personally, while I am still disappointed Subaru is not going to make anything unique for their version (what's the point?), I am even less enthusiastic about what they did do. Also, I think the FR-S looses a lot without the more aggressive front from the GR racing mule. This seems a bit "stuck between styles". Not really "very aggressive" and not "understated" either....

Not sure how I feel about either yet.
Maybe it is just the truck-like ride height and poor fitting wheels. :iono:

They both look better lowered, and the wheels pushed out a bit:

That is for sure!

Nothing on the BRZ makes me think it is a Subaru.....
(well, except maybe the badge, but that doesn't count :))

In reality the headlights will be different between the two, but from these images solely, toyota is more aesthetically pleasing :)

You are missing the 2 piece horizontal silver grill on the subaru

Also there are more agressive details in the front bumper you are missing. Your BRZ chop is too smooth.

I can definitely see both cars being used as sleepers. The lowered render of the FT has a "don't f**k with me look" about it imo. The Subaru just looks like a Subaru lol. I'll give the BRZ a couple of months for it to grow on me, just like every Subaru that's been released since the bug eyed Impreza lol.

I think they look terrible in these pics. Both of them not just the Subaru.

Sorry, but I am just not seeing the details you are referring to. Is there anyway you can highlight them?

Granted, I hope it turns out better than this, this is just what I saw from the mule images I had.

I tend to agree. Let's hope it is my bad 'chops or well disguised mules, and not what they will actually look like.

I tried a slightly different style this time around and it didn't turn out as well as I hoped. But, I am not sure why -- if it was my 'chops, or the cars themselves (suspect a bit of both)

I edited the Subaru images to correct some lines around the lower lip.

SUB-FT86 10-24-2011 02:01 PM

The only problem I see is the headlights looking retarded and the front of bumper looking less agressive in the middle.

RRnold 10-24-2011 02:40 PM

I wonder why Subaru added that extra piece reducing the grill size?!

On the test car, it looks like it can be removed so perhaps its just a tempory thing for testing.

madfast 10-24-2011 02:52 PM

can you black out the bumper piece that the license plate attaches to? and black out the lights? and yes the grille has what looks like 2 horizontal bars.

there is also a line that leads into the DRL
