I have always wanted to do this, but cash flow is not so good. The only way I would do a wide arch conversion would be to go with steel wings and panels, rears which cant be got no more
I like the interior mods planned, a man with good taste

Wide body from 4 door donor car is a bit stupid idea
.Of course Subarus first Grp A8 was 4 door but its another story.
If you have type r it could be but its a lot of cuting and welding.
Im not sure if using spacers or extreme wheel offset to solve diving/hiding wheels is a best way.
You only get more weight on body and more unspring weight and nice looking 22b/wrc like car.

Yeah Im still thinking about your alternative but I think that GC8 has overmuch curve shapes.For example thats better colour for BMW E30 - old school rat

I think yes,from my point of view - more air, more effectivity...engineers from japan had reason for it.As I wrote above its really simple to make it....

I'd paint the interior white as it will be hotter in a darker interior and stay cooler in a white one
