Looks good, but I would love to see some pics at a distance. A complete write up of any do's and don't in the DIY section would be great.

Very interesting. You get a serious THUMBS UP for pioneering on that one. I have yet to hear about/see one like this.

From the looks of the photos, you have a good auto body shop too.

How much for a set of fenders like that, lol? I'll be your first customer! That looks amazing, I've always loved the fender flares the impreza got as an extension of the line that the bd/bg's got...but that sets it off perfectly. I'm sure you could start up a little company and do some business selling those!

Great work! I'm with Ryan, HOW MUCH?!?!?

that is THE sexiest thing i have seen on a bd/bg in a LONG, LONG time.

rock on.

I agree with Tokio here.. that's pretty damn good-lookin'! Heck, I'd want a set!

That's awesome!! mmm, 17x8 with less offset would be hawt... screw wheel bearings 8)

how do they look compared to the rear ones? Does the style blend? Are you gonna do all 4? (because that would look awesome)

Fantastic work on the bodywork, btw. That's the toughest thing with car stuff.

thanks guys...the back right now is just rounded....im not too happy with it...and i didn't want to do all kinds of bodywork to the doors....if people are seriously interested i could make a fibreglass mold of the peice that people could just mould on...i'll get a few shots of the car at a distance tomorrow...thanks again for the crazy respose :D u guys are making me blush!!

I'm sure there are a few of us that will be down for the fender flares. You need to make something up for the rears too :wink:

MAke me a wide body kit for my 90 wagon and I will be happy...

Tokio

07-22-2005, 10:05 AM

if there is a God, you will make those molds!

Tris_STi

07-22-2005, 05:19 PM

Even if we had the rears, they'd be hard to not only color-match them, but put them BACK on the car.. That's some welding that some of us probably couldn't do.

Reason

Then that's a good thing that my new job will be sending me to school to learn how to weld. :twisted:

That looks so hot....I looked at a Forester today and had an epiphany. If I'm not mistaken, they have the same fender flares....maybe you could steal the rear ones from a Forester? They match a lot better, however it would probably be tougher....I'm sure you can make it work!! :D

The problem with rear quarters is I bet it is expensive to get that sheet metal. You cant just buy a rear quarter like you can buy a front fender. Unless you were to find one in a junkyard and take a sawzall to that ish.

I dunno, it might almost be worth it...its so hot already, why not complete the job? At least make the effort to get quotes on prices...good luck :D

yes i have to agree that surely looks super sexy. the back would be awesome as well. theres a guy in NASIOC who did his WRX wagon with all the sedan wheel blisters. looks hot there used to be pics in this thread but this is where i saw it.maybe you can look there for some ideas on how to work the back fenders. the problem i forsee is the doors as there is no model of legacy with such fenders that the door could be swapped.

Holy cow that looks fantastic…! If you feel like making some side dough, why don’t you make a few sets up and sell them. I’ll definitely buy a set…

i lve in Toronto, Ontario Canada....

the only problem would be to make the moulds i would have to get the made before i paint my car....also i would have to find out how many people were interested seriously...then weigh out the cost to you guys...I'd like to make them as cheap as possible...:D

It's been awhile since anybody posted here. If people still want fenders like this lets get a list going so a price can be figured out, if EXP still wants to do this of course, I want a set.

I would still be interested, pending price. My car is almost mechanically sound now, so I'm nearly ready to start working on the body.
