Converting 04-05 wrx to sti look alike??
ok so i was wondering, i'm getting a wrx, i know they both are pretty similiar toone another. but i like how the sti looks. ur probably like "u like how the sti looks, why not get the sti?" simple answer: gas milage! hahaha. anyways, do u know what parts i'll need for that? because the only difference i can see is the side skirts and spoiler.. where would i buy it?
so can i just buy the OEM parts and just install them?

Don't forget the HID setup, and also fender flares (?), I don't know what you call them.
***Only pic I had of a "STi" cause I love his wing and rear.

true, in the long run it will be cheaper..but i dunno..the thought of building something up just makes it fun..if i get a sti, i think i'll be too happy with it. hahaha
Just settle with hood scoop, wing, side skirts, and fog light covers. Thats about it for outside appearance. The rear wide fenders are 05+ sti. Pretend your pretending to have a 04 sti lol.
