If it is real it looks like the conversion was done by some back street outfit because it definietly wasnt done by West Coast Customs... The quailty of the work reminds me of when people used to DIY cut the roof from a VW Beetle thinking it looked like a factory Karmen conversion

Once again, if it is real i wonder what strengthing work its had done...

Rubbish! I bet it now weighs about 3 tons. However i have seen one in the flesh and they have grown on me. Looked like a audi rs on the inside. Don't know how they perform though. Probably knowing how subaru is going it has less power than ever.

Looks like the real deal to me:-



That's real deal as in 'the roofs definately been chopped off' not real deal as in 'it looks good!' lol

I think the worst bit is the rear spoiler combined with the drop top.

Looks vaguely reasonable (if a little DIY) until the roof is dropped then, OMG what a piece of cr@p.

Seen a claim somewhere that the conversion cost $40k. Think I'd want it to look better with the roof down for that kind of conversion cost....

Looks like a Mk3 golf convertable roof PS'd onto it.. the roof looks too old for a modern conversion IMO.
