Unfortunately no. The USDM/JDM fenders are slightly different enough they won’t work. Not sure if the details but I know JDM head lights won’t work with usdm front bumper and I’m pretty sure the mud guards on the inside are slightly different too. Thanks, Subaru.

id contact the place you bought the front end from and have them send you the correct part. Idk how you mess up sending a pre-facelift fender, when it’s completely different? You have to look close but you can tell the difference between pre and post facelift fenders.

Yeah, I ended up getting the answer with a picture for proof on reddit

 

I contacted the seller and they said they'll see what they can do, unfortunately I bought it like 10 months ago so it's partially on me for not doing anything with it til now. 

Does anyone happen to know if US fenders fit jdm front ends? I bought a front end conversion for my legacy and realized they sent me a pre-facelift passenger fender. Really hoping a us one will work as I can't find anyone selling single jdm fenders. 

Picture attached of the drivers fender I need to match.

Ah sorry. Did such a thread used to exist? I wonder if some of the resident importers might have something a little more concise. 

I thought I recalled seeing one at one point in time, but I've not had any luck finding it

Thank you sir, but I meant is there a thread/list somewhere that shows what each year/trim level bumpers look like? I did end up finding an aftermarket bumper thread, but not an OEM 

I've been having trouble finding older threads since the update. Is there a solid list somewhere of the oem JDM bumper options for our cars? 

Step 10 shows the plug layout at the bottom of the steering wheel column.

 

On the back of the radio there’s an 8 pin connection and a 14 pin connection.

 

My 05 LGT is an automatic so my connections were:

 

From the 8 pin connector, the wire from position 7(orange and white) will connect with position 6 of the plug at the bottom of the steering column. There was not a wire coming from this position so I had to attach one to make this connection. The wire from position 3( violet and white) will connect with position 7 of the plug at the bottom of the steering column.

 

From the 14 pin connector, the wire from position 1(purple) will connect with position 2 of the plug at the bottom of the steering column. The wire from position 7(black and white) will connect with position 8 of the plug at the bottom of the steering column.

 

Hope this helps.

 

So do only 2 wires connect to the 14 pin? I guess that's where I'm confused, because I feel like it reads that you're connecting 4 wires to the 8 pin but only 2 to the 14 pin

I’m having difficulty understanding where the wires go on the radio side. His green goes to purple/white on the radio side, and his red goes to orange/white on the radio side, but his wording had me confused where his green/black and his purple wire end up. Could anyone who’s done this help clarify? Thank you!

So upon further investigation, looks like the unit that was listed on eBay as a dual zone was actually a single. Looks like I have the exact issues others on these boards have had in this same situation. Ordered the correct one from AVO and attempting to get this one returned.

I just purchased a jdm hvac unit and adapter harness, and got this installed tonight but it only partially works. I have no temperature display, turning the temp knob doesn’t seem to do anything, but pressing it does turn it on, fresh/recirc display works, fan up/down works, defrost button works, off button works, mode button works, not sure if ac button works as there’s no display for that, any ideas?

 

Edit: mode button changes the modes, but always displays “face” mode. Temperature knob works, but doesn’t display anything, ac button works, but doesn’t display anything,

Has anyone successfully installed a double din radio into the cubby area? I got a jdm HVAC kit ready to install, but I'd still rather have the radio up top for better visibility, and am curious if this has been done before
