It's not as easy as just buying a new front bar to make your car like that. They're two different models (yours vs the one you linked).

What you'll need for the change as far as I know is;

Headlights
Quarter panels
Front bumper
Grille

I'm sure you could source all of those things second hand from a wrecker, but it won't be a cheap project.

+1 Won't be cheap.
Most 2nd hand parts have scratches, dings, damage, etc They will need to be repaired, painted, and fitted.

+1 again, definately not a cheap option. the bonnet is about the only thing interchangeable from the front of the 2 cars.
For example, headlights from subaru are about $750 each.

If you are after something different, maybe try a stock pre facelift bumper and an STI lip, like this http://redbook.com.au/used-cars/details.aspx?R=98469&__Qpb=true&Cr=9&__Ns=p_Make_String%7c0%7c%7cp_ClassificationType_String%7c0%7c%7cp_Family_String%7c0%7c%7cp_Year_String%7c1%7c%7cp_SequenceNum_Int32%7c0&__N=2994%204294944089%204294842807%204294943765&silo=1300&seot=1&__Nne=15&trecs=12&__sid=12ED961395C7

Or have a look at Tangcla's car for the JDM front bumper, which you can also fit a lip to. Plenty of pics around here of his car.
