They might fit on an Impreza because I heard the Impreza and Crosstrek share the same chassis/platform. Doubt the BRZ fenders have the same curvatures. Otherwise we'd see 86 Rocket Bunny fenders being fit onto WRXs.

LOL

Of course they're different cars you fuck. I'm not say it's going to be a direct bolt on.

Lol this guy.

I was looking at the fender arch and overall shape.
And peopl don't fit rocket bunny on wrx because of the overall design of the fender. But people do fit that on other cars

True, the K4MSH fenders stays pretty close to the wheel well and doesn't overeach over the fenders but still does. There are other kits that are just fender flares though.

But the BRZ fenders already have a slight flare in stock form that won't match the Crosstrek's. Also the Crosstrek trim would have to go over the BRZ sidemarkers. And the front edge of the rear fender trim goes down a long way behind the tall rear door. I'm not seeing a match... not even close.

Yeah I'm going to pick up a side and see how much trimming it would take to fit. If it's not too hard I'll probably make a mold of it and make a couple of kits.

I want something small and there isn't anything on the market that provides less than 50mm

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer. Anything can fit, just depends on how much money you're willing to toss at it.

Another option- I believe they are made by garage vary.

You should measure the diameter of the wheel opening to see if they are similar between the two cars.

And y'all need to have manners and stop insulting people when you're asking for help.
