Wider than it is Long: A build thread.

[mtmorto]

Loving this build. I'm from Greenville too actually.

[catnip]

I guess I imagined a widebody STi more like this:



Although, kind of foolish of me to ask considering I'm not HUGE on body modifications. I can definitely appreciate the work and dedication, though!

[pejsa]

i bet those front fenders weight a metric fucking ton.... have you thought about splashing them?

otherwise car is tits. can't wait to see it painted and rolling

[Nagah]

Me gusta. Keep on!

[scradley]

Amazing work, One thing im trying to get is the front fender edge, it looks as if its angled in towards the wheel? or is that just the picture?

[Counteract]

I must say, I have never been a fan of the bug eye imprezas, but with big, bubble arches like this I think it's going to look amazing!

I can't wait to see more updates on this thing, it's going to be sweet. Looking forward to seeing what wheels you get too

[juntsky]

might just be me but I feel like the front fenders need to be pulled a bit since it seems to be angling inward at the moment

Great job dude, any update?

[Strawhat]

Greenville in the house! Ya'll need to come to Quaker or something some nights!
And Mikey, I did the fronts first, so that pic is old, I just forgot to post it.

They are angled in. That was a side effect of using the Jetta fenders. I don't mind it, but we'll see how it looks with the wheels on the car.

Thanks man! I think my car is round enough to pull the fenders off, even if the fenders themselves are square.

Hahah I may have picked two particularly ricey/ugly ones to get my point across, but even so, I personally am just not a fan of the bulkiness that square fenders add. To each his own though, that's the fun of personalization!

I am not familiar with the term "splashing".
But they are probably heavier than stock! lol They're not unbelievable tho, and they're super solid, no flex hardly at all. Which may or may not be so good for driving low.

I went to Quaker one time. It was when that big fight broke out and all the cops came through, haven't been since then lol

At first i realized it was a subaru and im not a big fan of them and ive seen alot of subie build threads so i was like:


Then i saw the stance you had and i was like:


Then i saw your fender choice and then:


Then i saw you finished the fenders:


Then i didnt get to see the finish product yet cause you havent finished and i was like "no..please finish"


Then you pissed me off cause you didnt finish and i was like:

Yeah, that sounds about right for Quaker.
There's a lot or rice there, and a lot of rednecks, but it's kinda the only place to hang.

Sorry for the lack of updates.
I built up for like 2 months to get enough stuff to post.
The wheels should be here soon, and I'm working on the bumpers tomorrow and the rest of this week.

I agree. Maybe we can start hanging somewhere else.
