Genuine JDM Version 7 STI Bugeye Front End
The 2002–2003 Bugeye generation has become one of the most recognizable Subaru Impreza designs among WRX and STI enthusiasts.
This Japanese-market GDB Version 7 STI front end provides an excellent foundation for enthusiasts looking for authentic JDM styling, replacement body panels or components for a Bugeye restoration or conversion project.
Instead of searching separately for a hood, bumper, grille, headlights and supporting front-end components, this nose cut provides multiple matching components from one imported assembly.
Carbon Fiber Hood & One-Piece Grille
One of the standout features of this particular front end is its carbon fiber hood, which gives the Bugeye a distinctive performance-oriented appearance.
Additionally, the one-piece grille complements the aggressive styling of the Version 7 STI front end and helps distinguish this assembly from a standard replacement nose cut.
Because these are used components, inspect the detailed product photos carefully before ordering.
Perfect for Subaru Bugeye Projects
This JDM front end may be an excellent choice for:
- 2002–2003 Subaru Impreza Bugeye restoration projects
- WRX front-end repairs
- STI-inspired conversions
- JDM Version 7 styling conversions
- GDB Subaru project cars
- Replacement Bugeye body panels
- Subaru enthusiast and collector builds
Fitment can vary depending on the exact vehicle, body style, existing components and modifications. Therefore, verify compatibility before purchase.
