history and reference Full Bat Treatment On '02?

[Marsattacks]

Has anyone ever seen/done/attempted a full baby-bat treatment on an '02? The roof spoiler in the for sale section makes me wonder. I mean full nose, windsplits, roof and wing along with flare. I would not do it but it would look cool in the right color and stance. Any photos would be appreciated!

Also interested in this, as we're considering going this route with our #2 Lemons car this winter.  

 

 

 

For inspiration, we've also been looking at the Alexander Calder 3.0 CSL and the Roy Lichtenstein 320

I love the Gruppe 5 and batmobile setups and have been thinking about doing this for a long time. But to make the car worthy of the aerodynamics I'd want about 650 HP, huge tires and full DTM or GT3 suspension. In that case might as well do a full tube frame build to support that power level with a lot of custom stuff. Ultimate would include carbon fiber body and ground effects floor pan. Now we about talking cubic dollars, several years, and lots of tuning and sorting. And it would be so unique there would likely be no class to run it in. But hey, at least I can dream. Would love to have links to people doing Gruppe 5 and similar builds.

I've considered the Ahrend Tuning Gruppe 5 body kit, but haven't priced it and know that shipping to the US would be expensive.

of course, for proper LEMONS event, the entire body kit would have to be done with cardboard and paper mache.....

Maybe rivet some sheet metal together with bondo for shape although it would probably be knocked off by the fifth lap. Plus you would have to bribe Judge Phill with a couple of six packs to get it through.

You are better to use the expanding foam filler in a can, spray it on, let it expand and dry, then trim with your favorite knife/power tool.

Its very east to work with and is light as. Plus it sticks like s@#t to a blanket, so it will last more than 2 laps

 

Also a very easy way to build custom speaker mounts.

As if a 2002 wasn't enough of an aerodynamic brick to begin with!!  I would agree it might look cool but 650hp might just get it over 150 mph.

tii Lemon on the left, carby Lemon on the right.  The carby Lemon is due for a themed paint job, and possibly some body work this winter.
