Japanese Ute: Subaru WRX STI as a pickup conversion!

That's a really cool idea! While some pickup-converted vehicles like to look messed up, this copy is proof that it can also be successful. The base was one 2006 Subaru WRX STI (second generation), which becomes the full-fledged Ute was repurposed. And the conversion kit seems to have a really good fit and finish and might as well come straight from the Subaru factory. And the loading area is even full functioning and bigger than you think. The 2006 WRX STI Ute is currently about Cars & Bids auctioned and comes from New York. Of the Conversion kit comes from the well-known team of Smyth Performance. The boys and girls from Smyth Performance have many pickup conversion kits in their range, such as for the Dodge Charger, the Audi A4 or the VW Bettle. And you can tell from the build quality that Smyth knows exactly what you're doing.

The send email now between the B-pillar and the new closed cabin is apparently flawless and also the Seitenwände right and left appear perfectly integrated. Also the changed ones tail lights, which end at the tailgate, are an exact fit. You can even load the loading area with a tarpaulin made of aluminum and can also close the Hatchback can be opened and closed like a normal pickup. The loading area consists of a fully usable aluminum bed, which measures exactly two meters from the rear wall to the edge of the tailgate. Although the inner fenders significantly reduce the loading area, a good 90 centimeters in width can still be used. And the WRX STI pickup certainly doesn't want to be a real workhorse anyway. It's more of a lifestyle vehicle that wants to be special. And the others are special too amendments. Because the WRX STI also got one engine tuning. A COBB access port tuner including Turbo Tek chip tuning software and other COBB parts is installed.
