That DOES look nice. I wonder if there are any aftermarket rear flares available... That would be hawt!

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.

no more difficult than the Civics with Supra headlights, just have to make sure it's a good shop. it's something that I want to do but in reality never will.

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.
