Twinz · 08-07-2010, 07:15 PM

Im new to subbies I just picked up a 06 wrx, i see people saying theres a difference between 04/05 and 06/07 years, my question is if i could use a hood from a 04 sti on my 06 wrx..found someone selling a carbon fiber hood they had on their 04 sti and its one of the things im in the market for. Thanks for the help.

Nevermind, just did some research and im pretty sure with the headlight change from 04/05 model to 06/07 model they are no compatible..

The answer would be no. None of the front end parts are interchangeable

04/05s have a different front end styling than 06/07, so i do not beleive the hoods are interchangable because of the different headlight contours.

You are correct. Just as a side note if you were really ambitious you can swap any year front end on any 02-07 wrx/rs. Just need hood, fenders, bumper, and I think a bumper beam. The WRX has an aluminum hood while the RS has a steel hood.

thanks for the help guys, i actually forgot there was a difference between the "blob" and "hawk" eye style at first then when i was looking around i saw the differences..i had heard of people doing full front end conversions like bob said as well..oh well, if anyone with a 04/05 is looking for a carbon fiber hood theres a guy on craigslist who lives in levittown selling one for $100 said it was only used for a few months..

and Ndubz i'll check that i think i know what your talkin about and if its what im thinking it does look good
