GC Impreza Same Size Rear Window As Legacy?

Post by kimokalihi »

I'd like a rear roof/window spoiler for my sedan and I'm wondering if the width is the same as a GC impreza? They have spoilers available for GC imprezas but of course there is no aftermarket to speak of for a first gen legacy.

Hmm when I get my car back I can measure this for you. Or actually I can measure the GC for comparison. My roommate has one.

Cool that would be helpful. My window from trim piece to trim piece at the very top straight across is 40".

Haha thanks. I haven't been to a junkyard yet and I have seen a gc in a parking lot a couple times but didn't remember to measure and that would be akward to get caught doing.

The GC is 39 inches trim to trim along the top of the rear window. It does appear visually to be slightly narrower.

Only one inch narrower? Seems pretty doable.

That big wing that sits above the back window? Not my style. I think its too big and modern to fit the 1st gen legacy body style.
