Hello , My WRX suffered dammage to the fenders , doors and quarter panels , and I would like to add fender flares when repairing , just wondering are there any look alike fender flares for the standard 4 door WRX or is that stuff just reserved for the 22b itself ?
saw some body kits by various manufacturers but none makes fender flares.

Don,

I've looked into this in the past, and the front wings (fenders) are not a problem as they are bolt on. The rears start at the trailing edge of the front door on the 22B.

Now a 2 door Impreza has a much longer door that a 4 door Impreza. You would need to start the flare about halfway down the rear door of a 4 door. Youd be left to fabricate a new latch/handle/window etc. Pretty tricky.

I know that there are one or two French companies that do this kind of thing, but the cost would run into the thousands. Probably not worth doing. Original 22B panels are a no no aswell.

Bit of a bummer really, as it's a top idea!

Matt
