So looking to do something different yet again for my Outback... Was thinking of getting a 08/09 impreza/STI hood, cut out a large section of hood, cut a slightly smaller section out on my stock 00-04 hood, tig weld the overlaid metal from the 08/09 impreza/STI hood onto my hood then light coat of bondo to smooth out of the seam of welds. Repaint and BAMMMM! Anyone good with photoshop to give a idea look of this on a BE/BH? Might be ugly, Might not... Its a hit or miss!

If you look at the hood lines on both of the vehicles, it actually does look fitting.

Hood did have a dent it in so i got the hood for $50. Well since i can't find a JOB ANYWHERE... got some time today to start prep for the install once i get a JOB that i can afford a MIG Welder to weld it up to my stock hood, then prep for paint and get her finished. So roughly need $300 worth to finish it. Hopefully soon i will have a JOB, its rough!

i am confused on the reason that you keep capitalizing 'job'

:smt024 Its seriously a Joke these days... Applied over 60+ places doing anything with decent $10+/hr if i have to start from the bottom again the last month, only 2 interviews/herd from any places i applied and both were well we had over 100+ applications and a good 50 people to interview... Its a Joke! You have to know someone these days to get in anywhere, i swear!

So the never ones aren't aluminum like the GD chassis?

Correct, you can attempt to find a JDM hood which someone mentioned they are in fact aluminum,
as 06-07 hoods I guess were aliminum but changed back to steel for the 08+ years. Works perfect for me since my hood is steel too.
