He's cool like that (lol). I've seen a USDM-spec trend in Japan. Toyota, Honda and Mazda guys seem to do the same thing. A whole scene 'loves' USDM bumpers, orange reflectors, US license plates. The closer to USDM spec or 'ghetto-fabulous', the better. Reminds me of how chrome tailights for many cars are advertized as 'Euro-look' (no clue how?) in the US and 'Lexus/Altezza-look' in Europe. With Lexus traditionally recognized as an exotic US brand (*cough* rebaged needless mark-up Toyota *cough*) hence the Altezza reference (Toyota Altezza was the JDM name for the 1st-gen Lexus IS as sold in Japan). I guess they sell better this way, sounding exotic on both sides of the pond for vastly different reasons.

Posted some fresh pics in this thread: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4300128&postcount=31 (come to think of it, might make sense for it to move to the 'Legacy Photos 2010+' section)

Cool. Yea, I'll report back here or in a new thread if this one is closed.

Cool! Thanks for the pics and review. How is the sound quality when playing radio/CDs or using AUX? Is it on par with the stock unit, better/worse? We'll mod it soon enough, load up different firmware, software, updated or replacement nav and maps. These unit that seem to use the same hardware have a vastly different GUI so that could be one approach. http://www.cargpsnet.com/subaru-legacy-2009-2012-head-unit-with-sat-nav-gps-dvd-radio-tv-p-737.html

I got one as well, will let everyone know how it is. Reviews (both video and text) of similar units for other make/models look promising. Seems its easy enough to load updated firmware/software and potentially swamp in other GoGo or TomTom maps. For 300 bucks I'll experiment and toss it if its no good. Wouldn't do the same for the regular price @ 1-2K. Just as ridiculous as OEM.

^^^ Yup. RavSpec based here in NY was selling all these BTAero parts. Side skits, spats, etc. Thats where CrazyKen got'em. http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3634830&postcount=1 http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3420774&postcount=1

Its all good. Nice and clean Ozzy!

Looking great DeltaSniper!

I had sth silimar a while back. Dealer found some broken sensors in the steering wheel, replaced under warranty, fixed. http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=162969

Yep, I have some including close-ups. I'll post them this weekend. Looks like alcopaulic and therover did the same with their front emblems: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3829893&postcount=107 http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3840948&postcount=508 You can also find some of my front emblem and 3.6R plastidip'ed pics in this thread (these were done before I plastidip'ed the rear emblem): http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3848036&postcount=4812

Looks like it. I had a shop do the same when they wrapped my grill in 3M flat black DiNoc. To match, I PlastiDipped the rear Subaru emblem chrome. Came out perfect and looks great on GGM.

Looking good iammatt. Any planned changes?

Thanks guys! That's exactly the look I'm going for... OEM+. Next up I'm thinking Axel-back or at least welded tips, drilled pedal set, painted calipers (black), slight drop (RCEs to keep the stock shock/struts for now).

Snapped some photos with latest mods: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=3848036&postcount=4812

Yeah, thanks Apike11. Had a hard time at the bumper folds too. Do you have any pics of the brackets you used - I was to replicate that look and agree its much more natural.

Finally had a chance to snap some updated pics! -LightWerkz JDM replica headlights (I'll do a separate writeup on these, LightWerkz rocks!) -Philips X-treme Power High/Low beam and Fog light bulbs -NoName chrome/amber turn signal bulbs (front + rear) -Hella Supertones (in ripple black) with Subimods bracket and LightWerkz custom harness (in-line with OEM horns) -FrostKing garage door seal 'ghetto-mod' lip -HKS Intake Funnel -HKS Super Hybrid Filter -Subaru 19mm RSB
