So the 2.5 RS skirts fit without much modification? How is the leangth? Did they need to be cut at all?

Thanks for the positive comments. I think they look good.
Not sure if I am going to paint them or not. If I do it won't be till I get some of the rust issues fixed up, then I plan on painting the rest of the car too.
I used automotive grade tape to black out the chrome. I wanted to see how it looked before committing, and tape is easier to remove. If the tape stays on I will probably just leave it on and not paint it.
The side skirts are about 1.5 to 2 inches to short. The had to be trimmed to fit up against the splash guard.The spa sh guard also had to be trimmed underneath to accommodate the mounting point.I trimmed a little to much off but it does not look to bad unless you look real close.
I think it looks really good. If possible, you should take more pics of the skirts when the car is in direct sunlight as it's a little washed out in the shadows. Glad to hear the install went OK.

Where'd you pick up the automotive grade black tape? I've tried Schucks and Autozone and either they didnt carry anything up that alley or the employees were incompetant.
You should be able to find the tape at a body shop supply store. You might have to have them order it. Mine is 3m brand I think. I had a 2inch wide roll that I bought years ago for another project.

They are stock Impreza side skirts, but you might want to look for a set of used ones.I don't remember exactly how much the dealer wanted for them. But the were pretty spendy.
sorry to bring this thread back from the dead. Doing this in the future has become a very real possibility, but I'm also going to be looking for the rear lip from a GT wagon to go with them...
I just want to be certain that they'll FIT. He said that they were about 1.5-2" too short, how did he get them to fit then.
