Awesome idea!

Have you tried an Sti dealer for advice?

l suspect your best chance will be an after market body kit. The real WRC bodies would probably all be in use and have a few dings :-)

l am gonna watch this one for answer.

The best place to get replica kits which do not cost hundreds of thousands of dollars is launsport. You can purchase them from:

japanparts.com

Your best place to get this would be Prodrive in Europe. Do NOT bother buying cheap Japanese replicas!!! Most of that stuff is cheap, fiberous material that just is terrible. Are u planning on rallying or just for the looks? If u r planning on rallying, dont bother buying that stuff. l guarentee u that it will not last u a full season of stage rally. Maybe the Prodrive SWRT wing is the best, but why do it if u r not going to rally? Also, it cost like $2500 to $3000 just for the wing.
Also, if u want a full WRC conversion for the car, u r going to need skidplates, exhaust, body panels, wing, wheels & all of the little goodies that come along with a WRC car. Buying from Prodrive is great stuff, but going to cost u (neighborhood of 10K-15K). Also, suspension is important. Not going to find it in America though. stick with stock STi struts & springs. Oh, not to mention all of stickers!!! Who would build a WRC ''looking car'' without all of the stickers?? l would estimate about $125 on Ebay for the SWRT Stars of Pleidas decals alone, the ''STi Performance'' stickers r only found in Europe & r like another $100. And then there r a number of other decals that u will need.
So, r u getting into rally? If so, do not buy all these worthless trinkets that r unbelievably everpriced or until Subaru will buy u a WRC car for yourself!!! Concentrate ur efforts on a cage, suspension, wheels, tires, a tow vehicle, service crew & who can forget race gas!?!
Or is this car purely for looks?

Good Luck
