I have a 1996 2 door impreza that I picked up for 1,100 witha a clean title and 97,000 on the odometor. I was wondering if I can instal the version 4 front body kit. I found one on line but note sure if I want to get it because I want it to fit into my car. And its kinda pricy $500.00 for the front bumper. Anouther question I had is what if I just got the 97+ light and did the conversion to the front of the car. but I am not sure if it will bolt in properly. Can anyone help me out? Here is the link to the site for the kit. I just need the front bumper so I can fit the fog lights nothing more. Well and the 2.5rs hood and white side markers.

Decently priced, considering it comes with everything needed. You will have to change grille's as well, I think the headlights will go in, but they won't lineup with the 96 grille. Not 100% sure about stock 96 hood over those lights, I know you can put an RS hood over 93-96 headlights and grille but you ca see the difference in curves on the front of the hood. Just a few more things to think about. Why not go old school style and just get a Version 1-2 hood w/ scoop and vents? The best way to be, and even more rare ;)
