Don't know if anyone has posted this yet but an STI buddy of mine saw this on the NASIOC forum this morning. This thing looks hot! Here's the thread:

Here's the pic and the specs:
Super Autobacs has released info on a customized version of the Legacy. The "monoCRAFT Concept R" uses original sheetmetal to give it the blistered fenders. It goes on sale in Japan on Nov 5. Projected selling price is 3,650,000 yen (~US$31,900). For reference a JDM B4 2.0GT with 5MT costs 2,866,500 yen (~US$24,900).

Looks really good with the wider fenders, still follows the design lines of the car. Wish the "Spec B" had incorporated some more noticeable design changes to distinguish itself. Front bumper even looks pretty good, not too radical looking.

I like the fenders. I hate bumper. If it were possible to incorporate a Spec B bumper w/ those flares, and hopefully the back bumper is also "stock" looking, that would be my dream kit.:)

Yes the first few pictures look very similar that is for sure. Looking more like the ///M5 at the front every day.

like the bumper, hate the fenders. they need to put fog lights in the air dams in the bumper
The fender buldges in the first shot are very Audi A6 (not a bad thing mind you...) but the front bumper is too much.
Don't even get me started on the red GT :vomit: From the body kit to the wheels to the cans practically dragging on the ground... damn.
Oh, and what's up with the spoiler? I usually give props to forging out and trying to create new and unique looks, but WTF?
Now, the Blue Sti is a classic that I never get tired of looking at. That's hot.

He's probably talking about the flat black paint on the lower section of the back of the trunk lid on the blue STI car.
Some people like it, other people don't I just wish they would give us a WR Blue car. It would be easy to change that detail. It is hard to change the color of the WHOLE CAR.
Don't really like the tamed-down version of the Asterope kit. K2 Gear aftermarket kit is much better looking.

The blue stripe is a nice touch...accentuates the lines. I prefer double pom-poms in the hair as opposed to the single, but that is up to the buyer. Can't really form much of an opinion on the vest without a full frontal shot....
Oh the car!!!! Overall I think the blue one looks hot minus the black plastic on the trunk. Does not look like it is carbon. I wonder why the exhaust looks uneven?

Front bumper looks like a wannabe Porsche.
That wing on the back, well from an engineers point of view, it's more of an air brake to slow you down. At high speeds, that thing will turn like a semi.
The STi's lines are so much cleaner and better looking.

That front bumper just kills it for me, the fenders are a nice touch. Id take the STi Leggy over that one though.
