WRX Wagon with Sedan Quarter Panel Flares Conversion
This is a 2006 WRX Wagon that we installed sedan rear quarter panel flares onto. This involved buying and cutting up new sedan quarter panels, the side with the gas door was particularly tricky. We also had to modify the rear bumper so we could use the stock wagon bumper. This involves splicing the bumper just below the tailights and stretching it some half inch to meet the new wider quarter panels. Most people seem to tack weld the new quarter panels on top of the stock wagon panels. We did not do this. We actually replaced the stock qagon quarter panels with sedan quarter panels. The rear doors were also replaced with sedan doors. This gives you more rear wheel well room! The car in the photo has stock wagon wheels on it in the photos. This is the first custom subaru job that we did. So far we have recieved positive feedback on this job. We also do insurance work and other custom jobs.

That's an awesome looking wagon.
Now saying that... if you're a new vendor and you want to advertise your services on the forums there are proper channels to follow.
You might also consider introducing yourself to the forums and including more information. Who you are. Rates. Etc. People here are always looking for a quality body shop so if you do quality work and participate with the forums it could be a good thing.

Welcome to I-club!
Just to let you know that you're only allowed to advertize if you have vendor status here, but I'm sure a mod will contact you. The work looks damn good! How much would something like that cost?

it was already annoying to do the front end swap on my car , i wish wagon's came with flares from the factory , we get screwed on kits that are specifically for only the sedans. we also cant run as wide wheels unless we run a significant amount of camber more.

I was running a 18x9+35 and i wanted wider wheels lol , I am currently running 18x8+45 and i still have to run a bit of camber in the rear to not rub. yeah it does look a bit funny but from the front it looks aggressive instead of having flat fenders.
