I've been debating this... I don't want to make it a complete copy of an S204, just similar. I'd like to do the rear wing (carbon?), badges, fender marker, dash, and front lip... Think I should do it, or just get the lip?
regardless of other parts, i wouldnt do the badge the lip is super hot... i have wanted to do that for a while but im afraid ill scrape it everywhere i go
The only lip I would do is the 'genuine' STi lip. What about the Nurburgring decals? OR just go badgless all together, minus the rear egg
Go for the whole s204 look (minus the badges). It's cool and i haven't seen too many s204-like stis in the us. To get you started here's a S204 titanium turboback exhaust if you're interested: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Suba...ryZ33630QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
the reasons i don't like badges are: 1) i prefer the clean look 2) i don't wanna put a badge on my car that says its something it isnt
I'd rather just go for the looks of it instead of replacing aftermarket parts with aftermarket parts (money pit)
We need to find a shop that will do a group badge removal for the 06-07 guys... Someone that can weld it and paint it fairly cheap and GOOD
I do like the rear wing a lot though, it looks stock and it shows off the 'hips' I'm just not sure about doing it white or carbon... If I did carbon, I'd have to do a OEM carbon hood, but no one makes the quality of carbon that I'm used to... (pre-preg 4X4 twill, about 5-6 layers, carbon undertray, made on a propper mould, vacuum bagged, and cooked in an autoclave... I'm picky)
I like the alum. mirrors. Also, ravspec and a few others sell replica s203/4 wings. Personally, the RA wing interests me more
RA...Spec C-RA? I was looking at Ravspec, and they only offer the S203, so I sent them an e-mail asking about the S204
Actually, now that I am comparing the two. The s203 wing is far more G'd out than the s204 luxury wing. Im trying to remember who ran the GB on IW, it mighta been chasin. For comparison...
both of those are sexy as shit, i want one of those wings. those wheels are sexy too. how much would one of those wings cost?
A replica s203 fiberglass wing ,$400, a replica carbon fiber s203 wing, $500, a genuine s203 wing, priceless...because subaru won't sell it to you:squint:
I like the RA-R look my self.http://japanparts.com/images/ImageFromDB.php?base=1&no=5373 http://www.renickmotorsports.com/os...age=2&osCsid=bce410b813a6219f6c47c8237e539b6b her is the S204 wing and lip. RA-R and S204 share the same motor and wing. Correct me If Im wrong!!!
Eeek. IMO, I would spend that money on some power and suspension mods. The S204 look is still hot, nonetheless, you have to go with your gut on this one.
http://www.japanparts.com/db/partslist.php?dealer=1&car=115&middle=2&small=22 About half way down the page. The wheels are nearly $4K and only fit the 05+ STi.
I agree on the power, but I'm just about finished on the suspension side of things. Just a few more braces and bushings...
The thing is...they are just BBS RE wheels, 18x8.5. You can get BBS RE in 18x8 for about half that much.
man i hate not having a trunk popper. if i forget to unlock the car and then open the trunk the friggin alarm goes off. i think that is the one think that bugs me about my car...not enough to do anything about it just enough to vent that's all
Yeah, thats my point. 18x8 isnt s204 now is it? I dont even know if BBS is selling the 8.5 or not, the 3.500 price was the take-off price on a few of the importer sites.
the 18x8.5 is only made for Subaru for the s204. The 18x8 is widely available from many sources. They are just not as wide as the s204 wheels.
I'm actually working on some S204 bits for my car - mainly just the wing, mirrors, wheels, and lip. I love the look of the S204. Wicked car.
I say get these 1. spec C aluminum trunk- weight savings 2. S204 wing if you must for the obvious look ( but do you want to drill into a perfectly good trunk) 3. front lip is a must, accentuates the front end 4. BBS wheels, probably can find the correct model for much cheaper than actual S204 take offs after that, you are pretty much there for looks
Nah, Spec C uses a wing similar to the stock WRX spoiler. The s204 uses totally different holes. You will either have to get a wingless trunk and drill it or fill the holes in your trunk and drill the new holes for the s204 wing.
