Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Can you do that w/o swapping fenders??? hmmmmm....Mr Kleen wrote:I'd say the only way to get the rear flairs would be major bodywork. I'm surprised how good it looks with just the front done.
I want to do a front grill and hood swap from a Saabaru (keeping the flairs) on my sedan. now that would be teh new hotn3ss.

Sorry I have to be the decenting vote here. I've seen a wagon with sedan front fenders before. And IMHO it just looks odd w/o any work done to the rear. Also, I believe part of the charm of the wagon is it's low profile/stealthy nature. Adding the flared fenders and the STi front end diminishes that quite a bit.
