Bug eye to '04 STi front body swap?

I'm somewhat interested in doing this, but is it even possible?

seems a little illogical to me...if you want an 04...buy an 04.

pardon the pun...

I am doing the same thing to my car right now. Its not illogical if you have a highly moded bugeye you dont want to start over or swap parts, but if you have a stock bugeye then I would say sell it and buy a new 04, 05.

Everyone seems to be a little confused as to what I'd like to do. I want to swap a bug eye front body on to an '04 STi. Nevermind the reasons or the logic ;-)

I belive you also need a new radiator beam and a couple of the other parts from that area to make everything work.
