D Car — November 2003

The fundamentals remain, with all the classic custom touches piled on. The Impreza GC8 dominated the World Rally Championship with overwhelming performance. Radical Garage, a longtime name in American custom culture, used this real 4WD sports car as the base for a sport-compact makeover. Orange and black two-tone paint, graphics, and decals give it an unmistakable look. A wide Euro 2000 front end and complex-line Bomex side and rear aero emphasize its aggressive stance. Parts such as U.S.-spec Enkei wheels and an LED exhaust add carefully chosen details. Radical's signature custom paint also features ghost lettering on the hood and a marblizer finish inside, which looks as if paint has been dissolved into the surface.
