CUSTOM COUPE
The Custom Coupe is designed to be a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Maybe you want a period re-creation of the original with a fresh-from-the-factory look, or perhaps more of an Outlaw look is what you're after. By sitting down together, we can design and then assemble a truly special Custom Coupe for you. Any color you can imagine, multiple engine, wheel and tire options, your choice of a vast array of interior colors and styles...the sky's the limit. So whatever we assemble for you is your personal interpretation and is completely unique. That being said, here's what every Custom Coupe starts with:
-
Totally Reconditioned VW IRS 5 X 205 Chassis (effortless vehicle registration and smog exempt)

Hand-laid, steel reinforced fiber glass body

Disc brakes, front and rear

CUSTOM COUPE Paint Color Options
Technicolor Dreams
If you can dream it up or ideally give us a paint sample or number, we can paint your car whatever color you want!
Our renowned painting process takes four to six weeks, and black takes longer. For the Custom we use the original German Glasurit method of painting, color sanding, and buffing all panels along with finish polishing of all body surfaces. This ensures that the beautiful appearance of your JPS stands the test of time.
Price: Included in standard package
CUSTOM COUPE Interior Leather Options
All Leather, All You
You get to choose your leather color and texture from a huge array of choices not only for the seats, but also the dash, door panels and trim.
There's also custom and contrast stitching, piping and paneling options that create a true one-of-a-kind interior. Check our gallery for more some interesting examples of what can be done.

Optional Engines & Air Conditioning
More Power to You
Options abound when it comes to powering your JPS Custom. Standard is a a dynamic 2110cc air-cooled flat four boxer engine, much like you'd find in the original car, except with ~100% more horsepower, rated at 125hp. From there, you can stay with air-cooled power but go big with the 2332cc cranking out 150+hp. Check out our air-cooled engines video to learn more.
A higher percentage of customers are choosing our liquid cooled flat four Subaru 'boxer' engine. There are two versions to choose from: either a 180 horsepower US spec SOHC or a 230 horsepower DOHC version from JDM. Both these fully reconditioned engines provide smooth, exploitable power right off the line, with an amazing throaty hotrod sound! They feature a JPS-designed cooling system, invisibly mounted horizontally behind the nose of the car, under the trunk compartment. Though maybe not for the purists, we have to say that these cars are fantastic to drive and sound amazing!
The Subaru engines also facilitate optional superior heating and air conditioning, and so a JPS-designed under dash-mounted control panel and air conditioning/heating system is also available.
