In this video we are supplied with 04 wrx and some cheap fender flares with the task of molding them to the car. Without molding these to the car and simply using the very few recessed mounting points they would simply look and fit like total dog poop! Watch how we make it look so good using 3m panel bond for initial attachment and finished with filler to blend.
This overall job took 200 hours, beyond the flare install there was a variety of rust repair needed.
We didn't focus much of video on the rust repair but overall this car turned out fantastic.
You make it look so easy, but we know it's a lot of work. Spectacular Job!!
LOVE SEEING THESE OL GIRLS GET FIXED. SO SATISFYING.
For real man a lot of people are letting them get lost after just a dent of a small crash that can be fixable.
@@yamilmelendez2667 I saved my 2002 WRX shell from going to the wrecker, buddy just had more money then brain cells.
@@latebrakeracing9961 😂😂😂 I saved mine after a Car accident not a WRX but its a Bugeye
Man those crazy offset wheels are super fresh!
Another one in the books. Awesome guys ! Can't wait to get mine in.
Dude incredible job!
Great vid thanks
Thanks buddy!!
Great looking finished product!
Love it bro. 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Great job guys 👍
That looks awesome!
Aye good work guys keep it up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She Pretty. That colour pops. Love it.
I would keep rear spoiler though. Just my personal opinion. Beautiful job.
I hate round flares but damn you make it look good. no bolt/rivet holes.
Nice work! I prefer wrb though.
How long before the rust that's still under the rear windshield comes back since since you didn't pull the glass to repair under it?
We put acid on it , then 2k epoxy. The repair will out last this car 100%
What size spacers you have on the car ?
There was none at the time, he has since lowered it more and added spacers. I think 15mm, these wheels were already pretty wide. Which is why i think he wanted the flares
Looks great, molding flares is not an easy job... I would know! 😂
No doubt eh!
@@TheSubieSanctuary I have bad news for that car, something happened on Sunday 😞
@@zach_lush the impreza 😳 hopefully not more brampton related issues. I bet your getting anxious to be moving north
@@TheSubieSanctuary it's a gta issue, but she's off the road 😞 im excited to be moving actually! Tired of the city life... too busy here! Only thing I'm anxious about is getting both houses to close. It's been a mess due to this crazy market.
@@zach_lush i hear ya there man, that uncertain interest hike has really shaken the market. All trickles down too unfortunately. Believe me Im feeling it hard too.
What kit did you use ?
No name ebay flares, they are a copy of karlton flares. But the fit on these was absolutely horrible out the box. Spend more and get the real karltons for a nice fit
I really wish the steps to do this was explained i paid honestly about $700 Australian dollars on flares that didn’t fit and I drilled in multiple holes in the flare and into my guard to make it sit properly but I am thinking about putting gold dress up bolts and blind rivnut inserts all the way around the flares to keep it in place and then thinking about moulding it ontop what do you think?
Damn eh, these were like $300 and he definitely got what he paid for with respect to fitment. These would never ever have had a chance to fit good without molding.
You could mount yours and panel bond them on then fill over your holes. Thats how we did these after chopping them up to actually become close to the proper shape
@@TheSubieSanctuary what should I cover up the holes with?? Panel bond the holes and the arch? Of the flare
@@GIXXRBRAH750 we used the panel bond to fill the holes that we attached flares with. Panel bond can be sanded
@@TheSubieSanctuary ok awesome and the panel bond will also keep the flare stuck on? And how can I mould it to look like it’s part of the guard? Just use panel bond
@@GIXXRBRAH750 panel bond will primarily attach it to the car. Then for finishing you will use body filler
What color is that man. I want that exact color on mine man. Please shoot me the color asap
It is a sweet colour!

Cool khaki grey from subaru crosstrek
lmao, had the exact same kit to install and the fit was also terrible! same exact process
Such a mission
@@TheSubieSanctuary did you have experience with installing these kit when you filmed ?
@@cedrickgiard never done anything like this actually. We do lots of body work but never molded on flares
@@TheSubieSanctuary Great job on the lines eveything looks in place !
@@cedrickgiard tedious work no doubt. We also turned the rear flare into a 2 piece to reduce strain and serviceability
I'm wondering if you guys would like to buy my 05 STI off me. Located in MN. She ain't pretty but she runs and drives fantastic. I don't have the time, space or funds to touch it anymore since I am a full time student and working full time. If you're interested shoot me a msg! I am not asking for much at all. It'll be a cool addition to the channel also!
I probably would take it as a donor drivetrain for something but MN a long way away from me 😭
