Nevermind my post. I suggested something that's out of the price range you were looking for.

kspek.. ur wagon looks nice..

I use to have the exact same V1 lip but in CF but I sold it looking for something else. However, been thinking that I should get it again but painted this time.. Did u get yours painted before you fit it or you try to form it to the wagon bumper before getting it painted.

when i had my 02 wagon, the most noticable exterior mod i did was to take off the roof rails, it makes a huuuuuge difference, dont know where you can get the replacement pieces though, last i heard you had to order them from canada, but it has been a while

Hahahaha, dude I have huge Yakima racks on this thing right now. I'm not going for the show look, just simple stuff that helps. Like the lip and rain guard kinda stuff that has been suggested.

So far, I guess I'll stick with headlights and getting the wheels installed, but maybe not those EDM or JDM.

I saw these fog light covers that look kinda sweet if they were color matched: http://racingguys.onlinera.com/0203SubaruFLCB.jpg

if you do the painted headlight look and with your black wheels the black would look good.

Yeah, I'm not sure if I want to undertake ripping up the stockers to paint them down.

May opt for just buying a set on eBay.

seriously, the headlight mod is very easy. I have done quite a few sets. It's much easier than you may think. What part of it are you uncomfortable with? Do not waste your money on anything e-bay, excapt the ssautochrome TMIC. Only because I have it and I'm cheap.

I'm bad with paint and I'm bad with glue... hahaha.

I'll wrench on almost anything, but when it comes to being somewhat crafty, I'm horrible

I'd be happy to offer my services to you. All you have to do is drop the lights off. I'll clear them, wet sand, primer, wet sand, and paint. Then after I'm done reseal them. If they leak I'll do it again for nothing. Now if I was to just clear them that is like a 2 hour job. For a complete finish of the light, a guestimate would be 6-7hours. I've done a few of them and they always turn out looking great. If your interested PM me and will start to work something out.

What is the difference between sedan fenders and wagon fenders?
