Default Gc8 to 22b front conversion

So...can you make a MY00 Gc8 as wide as a 22B?
Phat!!

Maybe not the rears but why not the front?

It's been in and out of my head for a while and i haven't seen it been done before.

It's Friday and work is over why can't a guy dream

Do Luck make some flared front arches for the GC8, i believe you can get copies of them too. I looked into it for my project but decided to sell it instead ... i've got a pic somewhere...

its not a 22b front bumper, its not widebody. also if its the one from RMS, it was a cheap fibreglass copy being sold for drug money

that said, the Ver5/6 TypeR and TypeRA could have optioned a non widebody genuine subaru 22b style front bumper in good old plastic from subaru, which i believe is available from japranparts
