1999 Subaru Impreza SRX Bonnet Switch

Recommended Posts

Hey all. I'm new to the forum so please don't bite my head off if this isn't the place to post this content. :) I had a question regarding my 99' Impreza SRX (non-turbo). Is it possible to switch a SRX bonnet (no scoop) for say, a WRX bonnet with a scoop? Or does a car have to have turbo for a scoop? I have found the same Impreza colour (Gun Metal Grey) scoop bonnet on Trade Me and was wondering if I could even attempt to switch that with mine. 

 

Also, the bonnet I have seen on Trade Me is currently sitting on a hatchback. Would that effect fitting if my body model is a sedan? 

 

Thank you in advance for any questions answered :)

No shouldn't do anything, one thing to note is the STI bonnets are alloy and considerably lighter than WRX ones. 

 

Thanks for that! Noted. Is that your car in your display photo? I have the same colour and body shape. I want my bonnet to look similar to that :)

Very true. Will have to think about that point as well. :) All good things come with a cost I guess. Could always just chain a guard dog to the car when i'm away from it.. ;) hahaha. Thanks for the comment bro, appreciate the input! :D

lol pedro!!

 

it is definitely heavier than the factory wrx or sti version. but I much prefer the stealthed up look, nothing like blowing something away that thought you were a n/a haha. :)
