G'day,

A friend of mine has a ST205 hood and bumper(front) and has offered to sell them to me.
He has not, however, given me a price so here is my problem.
Would someone please enlighten me with some reasonable prices to expect to pay?
I'm a broke student so I don't want to spend too much however I would love to have these parts on my car ( even though I have a ST202 )
Also would you mind stating the currency you're talking about.

Sorry if I've broken any forum rules or posted in the wrong section, still not used to forums

Anyway thanks for your time,
Tom

Pricing in every country is different. In Australia for a decent set you are looking at roughly $350 each ($AUD). Since there is a much greater import market of st205's in NZ I only imagine they would be cheaper there.

Awesome thank you, other sources are saying around $300 NZD so sounds about right (:

For anyone interested, I managed to get the GT4 hood for $230 NZD cash.

Nice! You're gonna want the bumper too otherwise the hood won't fit quite right

And if you can get the bonnet latch aswell, ST205 is a bit longer than a ST202.

Build a SS-Four front.

Yeh at the moment I'm driving it around with it on, looks a little funny, it's Subaru blue and my car is near factory red haha. Hoping to paint it someday soon, ideally the same red however to match and get it professionally done is a bit out of my price range so I might settle on black (maybe matte) to match my rims.

As for the bumper I'm trying to sweet talk him into generously giving it to me, I think he's pretty keen to get rid of it. The stock bumper looks a little boring, and gap between hood and number is about 2cm.

Yeh I ran into that problem and figured I'd need a longer latch. If I want to pop the hood I have to do it in reverse order haha.

1. Hop out, put my fingers into the permanent gap between the hood and bumper and release the latch.
2. Go back into my car and pull the hood release leaver.

Then the hood can just lift right up.

Also, the GT4 hood is very light compared to my stock one.
Stock - steel?
GT4 - aluminium?

As i'm new here and still trying to get the idea of this in my head, please add a picture ^^

Here are some photos

Sorry for the size I don't know how to get them smaller haha

get the latch extended ASAP!
you do not want that hood flying open while you're driving, only to completely ruin it!

Indeed, especially with being aluminum it's definitely a possibility.

Alright I'll look into it, (I've taken it off for now until I get it painted anyway).
Thanks for your concerns
