Founded on the Gulf Coast beaches of St. Petersburg Florida, BRAAP was created for those who can appreciate the little things in life like buffalo wings, a good Bourbon on the rocks, or (in this case) a straight up badass smart fortwo.
​
The drive behind BRAAP is co-founder, builder and veteran, John Wingle. His un-conventional creativity and concepts garner acclaim from all walks of life. Since 2006, John has built some of the coolest custom motorcycles around. Now, the journey continues as an innovator in the custom car arena, offering a full line of aftermarket smart fortwo components along with the same demanding quality and attention to detail (aka touch of OCD) John is rather notorious for.
BRAAP has quickly carved out it's own special place in the world of custom vehicles. A brand built on creative passion, quality craftsmanship and innovation, BRAAP has established a solid reputation for out-of-the-box concepts and awe-inspiring design.
​
BRAAP is more than just a car or a company. It's an attitude, a way of being in the world. And, nothing encompasses the BRAAP culture and DNA more than our mascot, a two year old boxer named Eleven (aka 'Lev'). Small but mighty she's a little badass no matter the terrain and just like a BRAAP, the epitomy of the "Ridin' Salty" lifestyle.
We invite you to explore and experience what BRAAP brings to the table as both a customer and an enthusiast. So, get in touch about a build and/or grab yourself some Ridin' Salty Gear.
I've been shopping for an around town toy for quite some time now. Golf carts, three wheelers, UTVs, you name it. No heat, no A/C, not fully street legal - no thanks. BRAAP has all of those and, well, it's not a golf cart, three wheeler or UTV.

These guys are something else. And, I mean that in the best of ways. My BRAAP is in the process of being built right now and all I can say is I'm increasingly excited every time I see it. Watching this little car morph into a little monster is so cool.

Beyond a sick ride, the culture behind BRAAP makes me want to get in and explore. BRAAP is more than a car, it's a tool for making life an endless adventure. Couldn't be happier.
