Need help deciding on front and rear conversions

[Lperkins88]

Hey girls/guys,

As some of you have seen my thread I posted in early May, my front fender got hit in the school parking lot and the person that did it just left, leaving nothing. My friend is parting out his car and said he would sell me his sedan front end, same color as my wagon.

Well this past saturday, I got rear-ended on the parkway and from what I see I am going to need at least a new bumper. I have an '02 wagon and have always wanted to do the 04/05 rear conversion.

The question is, I am not 100% sure if I want to do the sedan front end conversion. I want to get everyone's opinions on how they think it looks on wagon's.

Thanks for reading and hope you girls/guys can help me make my final decision!

I've only seen the front end sedan fender conversion on an 06/07 wrb wagon. But it looked BADASS.

If you can, I say do both.

I've never seen it but if you can, that would be cool. Sorry you got rear ended. One thing to keep an eye for would be the paint, even if its the same, it may not match exactly... Good luck!

You've probably seen mine on here ;)

Anyway...
Mine has a sedan front end (eventually ended up being all STi parts after I replaced the hood)

I know mine isn't the same year as yours, but some visual aids just for the heck of it: :p

I intend to get the rear fenders done eventually since I think it looks funny with a skinny back end, but that'll take a ton of money (for welding & paint) so it'll be in a couple years. In the mean time, I still love my little Toaster and its interesting front end :)

I say since the parts are right there and match (considering my luck with another 05's CGM hood matching my car just fine, if you ignore the "paint-matched" fenders that don't actually match), go for it! I like the idea of the 04/05 rear conversion too, since I really never liked the bugeye tail lights. Yes, I realize my answers are pretty biased, but I hope this helps.

I have every intention of bugeye sedan fenders, quarters, bumpers, and rear doors on my 03 wagon

you will not be able to do the rear doors with out getting the rear sedan fenders welded in im looking it to doing this now

That's the plan ;) I'm a subaru parts guy so I'll hang new quarters and fenders most likely. doors will be used

[deebsr6]

I say do both if you can. If not do the front first then when you find a good deal on the rear do that.
