Smile SAAB 9-2x front end conversion for 2004 WRX Sedan

I kinda like it...similar to the 2006+ WRX. What do you think of my little Photoshop hack? Has anyone ever done (or thought of doing this conversion? I know lots of people have mixed views on the SAAB-aru.

I really like the Saab front end, and I think it would look great on a sedan. That said, I think there would be problems with the swap. The Saab bumper is made for the Saab fenders which do not have the flares. You would have to modify the Saab bumper to fit your fenders, which may or may not be difficult, or you would have to go with Saab fenders that don't have the flares, which I think would look really bad. If you could pull it off I bet it would look badass, but I'm not so sure it can be done correctly...

Thumbs up

I found a site that sells the body parts. Not sure how good the pricing is, but it's a start for someone who may want to tackle this type of project. I'm very tempted to do it if I can get the fender flares merged with the SAAB fenders correctly.

keep it subaru its way cooler and you'd have to modify the fenders for the lights as well, the wheel wells/fender wells and the bumper beam too. alot of work. if anyone does it id give em props for all the time and money spent.

Normaly I'd say go for it. The saab look is way more classy, But:

you'd have to replace all the body panels, and all the interior stuff would still be branded with the subie logo.
