The exterior of my car is beaten up pretty bad and i've been planning to replace the bumper,fenders, and hood. Some say I'm crazy but, I prefer the peanut eye (2004/5) more than bugeye and I've been considering converting my 02 front end into the 04. I know the process isn't too difficult, and it has been done numerous times both ways.
So this leads me to my question: Would it be better to...
1) Search and scavenge through junk yards and on i-club for somed used parts.
2) Purchase the ChargeSpeed facelift kit. which includes EVERYTHING.
3) Buy the parts from Subaru
or
4) Post a WTT ad and pray someone wants to do a swap.
Option 1 is the most common. But it must be really difficult to find the parts and in decent condition.
Option 2 is probably the most simple but expensive way out
($3,022.97 to be exact)
Option 3 Might save me some money.
and option 4 is probably least likely gonna happen.
SO I-CLUB.... what would YOU do?
