magnusonsubie Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I've actually been thinking of something similar for awhile however I've envisioned RS6 style flares. I think they would flow better with the car. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4S-TURBO Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I prefer box flares to humps. And I'm resisting the urge to lower. This is the only wagon I've owned that I haven't lowered. You guys and being here makes resisting quite difficult. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4S-TURBO Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Thought of that. I had a BH Outback VDC lowered on LGT suspension with stock sized Outback tires. Lots o rub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think even with the current models more gradual flares it may be better.

MTBwrench Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 You know, I never really paid much attention to the body flares on the RS6. Those are pretty substantial, especially the front quarters. IMO, something like that would look great on the Legacy. I don't understand why we can't get the RS6 here in the US... I want more turbo wagon options other than the(granted, totally acceptable) V70R Polestar Edition! Also... I took a video of it, since there's not too much soundclip documentation of my exhaust setup, or my trans setup. Disregard the "who knows what it is" clicking/clunking noise it makes, I believe that's my front driver's axle taking a crap on me. I'm not doing much investigation until this weather breaks. But I will admit, it makes me livid to hear a noise like that considering basically everything is new driveline wise.

4S-TURBO Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I was hoping Subaru would have given the S402 box flare treatment like the WRX/STI. RS4 got em too... http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa109/4S-TURBO/9c3709660f58933e32a081df6648e529_zpsrphynf0e.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa109/4S-TURBO/01-2012-audi-s4-avant-fd_zpsafmcnfvd.jpg http://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa109/4S-TURBO/Audi-RS4-Avant-3_zps19ut0m3k.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnusonsubie Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Yeah but the RS4 doesn't have a twin turbo V10 under the hood.

4S-TURBO Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 5.0 10 x2 > 2.5 4 x1 RS4/6 fenders would look good on your BP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 All this RS talk, my buddy just got one and we went for a ride the other day. Still the NA motor, but very nicely setup and on air.

I don't love box flares on the legacy - they work great on the WRX and STI, though. Maybe I'll toss together a couple more 'shops later, one with box flares and one with the gradual rounded flares.

Rhitter Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 (edited) How do you fabricate blended flares into an existing body? Is it lots of fiberglass and bondo? Edited March 15, 2017 by Rhitter My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4S-TURBO Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Well, the BP already has factory Outback doughnut fenders to use and blend. Are you going bigger than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhitter Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I am not doing anything. I am just curious what the process is if someone was trying to replicate the Audi RS flares onto a Legacy. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, was responding to legacybt. Asking why go the rounded Outback style flare route when that option is already available and doable. I personally don't think adding box fenders is worth the work. I just like the way they look better and more unique to throwing Outback styled fender flares on a Legacy. Even if they are more pronounced to run 295's.

magnusonsubie Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 What are you using to shape and weld? Like actually buying RS flares and getting them to fit? That would be easiest. Otherwise cutting current legacy body panels and adding sheet metal to shape the flares exactly how you want them. I wish I was good at Photoshop because I've actually had ideas of buying an NA front end collision or blown engine body shell to do mock up and design on. 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they are more pronounced to run 295's. It's all just a pipe dream for if/when this becomes a full-fledged project car, and not my DD. I also have to have a good bit more time and money, and I doubt those nice things will appear together in my life anytime soon. Renovations and fixing another car are taking priority over the leggy. You never know, someone out there reading this could be inspired I just really like the look of a nicely integrated wide fender that could have been there from the factory, just like the A6 vs RS6, Impreza vs STI, or Legacy vs... That would be easiest. Otherwise cutting current legacy body panels and adding sheet metal to shape the flares exactly how you want them. I wish I was good at Photoshop because I've actually had ideas of buying an NA front end collision or blown engine body shell to do mock up and design on. That's a good idea for the fronts! It's too bad we don't have rear panels that could be removed. I have some extra free time while travelling for work these days, what exactly do you want to see on photoshop?

magnusonsubie Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Either the RS6 box flares or the more gradual flares added on. I've also got ideas of working with the existing body lines of the legacy to make the body wide subtly and have it work. Just really hard to put into words without having a car in front of my and showing which lines I'd extend and what I'd do 2005 Vader Wagon Material Tests on Ringland Failure Piston I should have held off and purchased a wagon instead of the spec.B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
