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.

Pics? I've been thinking about doing this and plasti-dipping the 2.5GT badge as well.

So do these fit without modification or not? Some posts say yes, some say the mounts are in slightly different places. Any help would be much appreciated...

I would think they should fit. I have Megan axle backs for an 08+ WRX Sedan and they fit.

Without pass throughs or an impact gun, you'll have to rig something up using a set of vise grips and a regular socket.

Like this??

You should be able to do this with the shocks installed on the car

Welcome!

so the plot thickens... i signed up for the forums a while ago, but never posted anything. Here's what is left of my 2010 lgt:

 

kinda bittersweet getting the 3.6R... but moving on.

RIP GT

So does that mean you guys who plasti-dip their stuff do not scratch and prime?

Just purchased plasti-dip from home depot this morning

Yup, just spray it on.

can you explain how you used the plasti-dip to do yours?

(i was actually confused on that part and planned on just spray painting it same as i did the grill..)

You do just spray it on like the grill.

Either tape around all the trim or remove it and paint it. I took mine off to paint as I think you get better coverage. Both ways take about the same amount of time.

You can hit 60 in 2nd gear. With your 60' time I think you would already be in the high 4s if you redlined 2nd.

I hit 4.879 with a 2.209 60' time. Launched around 3500, no FFS or LC.

I agree. I did this mod to my 08 Legacy 10 mins after I brought it home from the dealership....

 

5th gens can not be that complex

 

PS: On a side note, I see that you have a Firehawk. Even though, I never got a chance to own one I have owned a total of 5 4th Gen F-Bodies

Yeah, my old Mazda 6s took about 5 minutes. With the dash mounted fog light switch I would think its as simple as getting a always hot wire in place of the switched wire. Obviously I have no idea though.

Thanks, couple other f body owners on here. Not exactly refined, but fun as hell to take the t-tops out and bang gears

 

I don't want a get into a public discussion on this....

 

The reason I did it is bec I simply wanted to run my parking lights with fogs.

I can't believe someone hast done a proper DIY on this yet. 2 different methods for the 4th gen cars.

I would like the same capability as well.

According to our fastest legacy times thread I now own the fastest one she ran a 11.6 @124 this weekend at zmax

Nice run, glad to hear she is finally running. 124 is moving!!

Any Pics or updates from the Legacy 5th generation testers?

No

Hopefully I can get to this next weekend. Moving + out of town company + 7 month old has killed my car time

Charlotte here ... 06 Legacy spec.B

Welcome!

Anyone goin to zmax this weekend I'm looking to break in the new six speed

I guess this means you got everything sorted out? Good luck!

Lolwut??

Someone posted a 4th gen then went back and deleted their post.

Man oh man...how hard was it to remove all of that trim? Did you find any write-up or manual reference for removing it, or was it pretty self-explanatory?

Pretty self explanatory, but I did a write up in this thread:

http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/plans-replacing-painting-chrome-trim-around-windowsi-134959p7.html?highlight=windows

Brilliant! I opened it in racer and then did a "save as". Just finished the upload.

I did the same thing

Nice write-up. I'm itching for more mods, and you guys aren't helping!

 

Sound - OMG LOL!!!!!! If that sounded like something a little girl would say then you are correct because I'm giddy as a school girl. It is deep and throaty with very little drone. The sound should change a bit over the next few days but already it's a 1000% improvement over the stock silence

Did you download the tune to AccessPort Racer first?

Thanks! I put a lot of work into it. I would love to get the chrome out of the side trim pieces, but I haven't had the time yet. I also haven't decided if I want to use plasti-dip, or have it covered in dark vinyl.

I couldn't find anyone that wanted to wrap the side trim so I took it all off and plasti dipped it. Came out great with full coverage front/back.

Lower grill looks good.

I've been on the fence for awhile because I wasn't sure how the pattern would match up to the upper/fog light honeycomb. While not perfect, it is far better than the gaping whole the factory gave us.
