Talked to karlton once and he said that because the rear fenders are so small it would be difficult and would need a lot if custom work at the shop he worked at. They would most likely use mustang fender flares and custom fit/mold, only problem since it would be all custom work it would cost about 1k he said in custom work. It is mainly because the rear fender on wagons and the forester are so skinny. Look at the rears near the bottom part of the door and you will see that they are only an inch if that.

makes sense, sucks though. Would love to have some options for going super wide and aggressive on the fozzy.

Well I think he only makes them for sti's because they have the wider rear bumper. I may be wrong though.

I have them for the bugeyes and 05-07 sti currently. I mainly just made them for the cars with 5x114.3 as it's easier to find wheels to fill these flares. And I only made them for the bugeye as I'm building a sti swapped bug with a friend of mine

Hey Chris -

Careful posting this stuff since you aren't a registered vendor here on i-club.
