02-03 front conversion to 04+ front - ClubWRX Forum - Subaru Impreza WRX and STi Community and Forums

I have a 02 wrx and i'm not a big fan of the buglights and im really falling for the new front end, i think the 04 and the 05 looks awesome. So the question is can a 02 or a 03 WRX front end conver to 04+ front end????.

yeah you can... bumper, hood, fenders, and headlights. hope you have a color that came in both years so you dont have to repaint too.

I think you should sell your bugeye to a bugeye fan and buy a 04.

to all the bugeyes lover out there its not like i don't them, its just that the 04 looks better. well i could sell it but i'm a college student, i don't have too much money to buy a new car. i'm done with the payment for the 02 already. well i have a silver color wrx so they should have it. wow so it has been done , by any chance u know how much??? or have the link of the ones that had done it? if guys do that will help a lot. thanks

dmist · 01-05-2005, 09:00 PM

hey, if you got a 02-03 psm wagon...i'd consider trading + cash it with you. cant do sedans, i dont want those big fenders. i m a bugeye fan and also big fog light fan. and very very big on jdm headlight with HIDs fan.

Wrinkleboi · 01-05-2005, 09:19 PM

i have a sedan i wouldn't selling it n getting a 04+ since that guy spent 5G on the conversion, thats a bit too much. or i can go to junkyard to see of they have any penders n bumbers n stuff. shouldn['t that cut down on the cost?

Wrinkleboi · 01-05-2005, 10:19 PM

you just need someone to trade with you... thats your most cost effective solution. junkyard parts arent 'cheap' but they are more cost effective than buying new.

i still haven't forgiven Subaru for stabbing the bugeyed boys in the back.

if you don't like the look, buy something else, and see you in the rearview.
