I've seem it before. I think welding needs to be done. Cutting off the front of the frame then putting 06 frame on it. Y do you want 06-07? Everyone knows 04-05 looks the best

bugeye with pride? dude bugeye wins all day. my fogs are as big as my headlights even tho i took em out for a fmic so bosslylike but dude fuh that. bugeye wins. always. they stopped making rx7s in the us in 95. does that mean rx7 owners rock their rx7 with pride? i guess so actually... but more than pride. my taste is 02-03. win. lightest wrx available ever? in the us. if i had a trillion dollars id have my 03 aspen white rex. only difference would be id have a ppg straight cut instead of RA so i can tune my gt30 built 2.5 to ENDLESSSSSS but for now im limited. bugeye. or die.

^no body said anything about the bugeye being a beater. He was just asking about swapping front ends. We dont need another thread about which car is better. This is a subaru forum, most everyone here likes each subaru for what it is.

I see that mostly people like a 02-03 subby. I'm just the guy who like to rebuild cars in different cars. I had before 2002 Elantra with evo body kit and Subaru hood scoop. . People thought that it's wad Subaru lol.
