Thanks for the pictures sloppyjoe.

Besides some full body shots, try to get some of the rear suspension (look for new aluminum pieces). Also give the front and rear quarter panels a few taps to "test" for aluminum. Also check the doors. Are they any lighter than the '04? Thanks man!

They added the flare and trimmed away the original fender on the inside. so yes, more clearance.

I think that the doors are aluminum now, but I am going to be much more thorough 2nite and check for everything I can think of. so long as I don't get the boot. I ment to check for the the gvw but I was so excited to find that it was an actual 05 I forgot to check alot of stuff.

The bolt pattern will be 5x114.3. I have heard that before.

sloppy, please e-mail me the pics so that I can host them for you.

Take as many as you can, please. More details. More flairs.

Thanks again.

i love the HVAC look, and the e-brake boot.
going to be bummed if the bolt pattern is different, i was looking forward to cash in on some cheap BBS from new owners to slap on a second set on my 04 STi.
also really like what i saw for the door pannels, i wonder how hard it will be to switch between the the 04 and the 05.

good job man!

You are the man sloppyjoe! I can't wait until you get those pictures up tonight.

Can you a couple distance shots of the car at an angle (i.e. not just directly 90 deg to the side or front).

Thanks again. I can't wait to order mine now!

i wonder if the same fender flares will also surface on the wrx? it would be cool if they redesigned the wagon so it had a little wider body

I don't know, but I doubt it.

I highly doubt that.

hey sloppy- thanks for going out of your way and taking the risk in snapping-off these much-anticipated sneak-preview shots. We've all been waiting with baited breath for these pictures!

when you go back tonight could you please try to capture a few pics of the car from the rear and rear quarter, to better show the new rear fender and flare? Also, anything at all that could confirm the change in wheel size or bolt pattern. this impacts us alot, as many of us have one or two sets of aftermarket wheels already for our 2004's.

thanks,

-Kip
