where can I buy all parts (including the hood) to make a US forester look like the STi forester?

Japan.

Seriously, if you are thinking of doing this (I am trying to just duplicate the performance...) you will need the suspension, wheels, ground effects, hood, and if your are really going for a total STi look, the interior. If you want the performance too, you will need an aftermarket turbo kit with the intercooler, and the STi performance exhaust. (or a complete 2.0l turbo motor) You would probably be better off in the long run just importing an STi Forester... But if you are serious about converting yours, I guess you should try either an authorized STi dealer or www.Takakaira.com (http://www.Takakaira.com) or some other Japan-parts seller.

Good luck. Hope you have deep pockets.

the forester will be a daily driver. I am either going to keep my 2.5RS, and turn it into a project car or... get a 1993 impreza (for a project) and yet another option would be... to get a 240SX (as a project).

You would probably be better off in the long run just importing an STi Forester...

I don't think so. importing a whole car would be a tremendous pain in the ass, especially in california.

thanks,

I do. but you must remember, it is not always about money but... about priorities.

I don't get it. Daily driver?? What does that have to do with anything? My Forester is a daily driver. Most of the STi Foresters in Japan are daily drivers. If all yuo want is the hood and ground effects, they are available from any J-PArts vendors. Heck, I bet iSR can get 'em for you. http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/rolleyes.gif

And, stay away from the Nissan. Subarus are MUCH better cars. (IMHO) http://www.i-club.com/ubb-files/smilies/wink.gif

I meant daily driver, as compaired to the project car (which will not be a "daily driver"). the plan is... the forester would be more show and the other car would be more go.

don't get me wrong I love my subie. but the 240SX + SR20DET = big power, big fun, big drifts and little cost(relatively speaking).
