    Only if you are going to have wider fenders in the rear. And if you do both of those, you will want wider wheels...like 8.5-9" wide.

    Not worth it, it doesn't look much wider, and I'm damn sure its not very much lighter seeing that the stock fender is super light to begin with. That and the price is super high, I think I paid 100 for my factory subaru fender.

    I agree with you both^^...I was considering it for a moment...Just bored and surfing online. However I do love those Samco hoses, but they are way way to $$$ for just hoses....I'm suprise there isn't any other company really producing the same thing for a lot less...I doubt making these hoses cost that much $$$ to begin with...Huge mark-up

    That is because the body is made by prodrive I believe specificly for the rally car. Burn up makes a replica kit, but the fenders aren't any wider. L'aunsport makes an exact replica of all the Rally body parts, but be prepared to pay Pay PAY for that. In the range of around 4,000 unpainted.

    also be prepared to fly to japan and physically bring back the burn up kit in your luggage, because that's how the last guy on NASIOC had to get one.
