S402 all the things I guess lol

haha

fitted the s402 wheels on the forester (probably the only forester with 402 wheels in the states) and honestly looked better than i thought. especially with the steel gray metallic color which is one of the impreza s204 colors, its very reminiscing of the s204. eventually these wheels will make its way on the legacy 

Today's vibe. 1 or 2 more things i wanna do interiorly but overall i feel at home and cozy in here. A perfect blend of sport and luxury for this car.

You must be excited!

i am! i cant wait to get new tires for them and fit them on my forester first just to see how it looks as this set will be shared between the two cars lol 

S402 wheels came in! Im part of the BBS club now. Tires are michelin super sport and are 5 years old but still have decent tread left so ill use em for now lol. Had to buy a new set of bbs valve caps since i think they didnt put it back on when they let the air out before shipment.. Also got a set of S402 door sills. Looks brand new since theres blue film on it. Not gonna put them on as i have Tuned By Sti door sills on the car so these are more a collectible to me.

Genuine sti lip spoiler came in. This things friggin small compared to the other spoiler

@Fenrir1 I was responding under the assumption the trunk lip spoiler w/ brake light would also be added.

yup i just bought one and should be coming lol

Ah yeah. This one looks a little more classy to me. All subjective though. But again, if I put something like this on my car, better be a fast car

haha i mean its pretty fast to me. i think itll go great with the k2gear fenders and jdm front & rear bumpers

Sounds like the right choice would be the S204 wing then. For a potential total of 5 brake lights.

isnt this still 4 lights?

Where did you get this from?  Link please if you have it.

here you go. fyi the bottom part doesnt stick on to the bezel fully since its flexible so youll probably have to do something about it to cover all the way. i wish it isnt flexible and a hard shaped part instead if that makes sense. https://www.ebay.com/itm/315251425527?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D1110006%26algo%3DHOMESPLICE.SIM%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20231107084023%26meid%3D77c4558e49344e09a4b8df1ee1207a6f%26pid%3D101875%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D4%26sd%3D374950604191%26itm%3D315251425527%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D0%26pg%3D4429486%26algv%3DSimplAMLv11WebTrimmedV3MskuWithLambda85KnnRecallV1V2V4ItemNrtInQueryAndCassiniVisualRankerAndBertRecallWithVMEV3CPCAutoWithCassiniEmbRecallManual%26brand%3DUnbranded&_trksid=p4429486.c101875.m1851&itmprp=cksum%3A31525142552777c4558e49344e09a4b8df1ee1207a6f|enc%3AAQAJAAABcLSVkHmTL63bebovD9RfpraPWbY9f4anjbziTIaEIOVXg2DWhVLks3Lfqff9vxxfjIh4XEXusIehlT2iEH8%2BCxXNySMxlDIQJ3g86%2Bx3AAIAq9gznqdGSR72ksP41kjzPN1reUbVsJuld0S4i4qXlQfTmkMeIJTCXTM8mLpr7ju2fMvruDu87ZX%2B4bShOvD%2B4njHfxzQzdCZ2NXr%2FcW2lIYLsZuRSDkQheUG%2BOPpq3S6OY8bp5QCvtE%2FCkK6vDj%2B3G%2BjOn1EVi2EJsbSHo2OMjc0VxPFEFdANdC%2Fp0nbJh55GuAYh7dCbDkrGcx6Ch7btjmcn1UNCSgKjKcXAtDpPly9Ou53BdaR3FwmOgyJWRYbZbssq45DbK%2Ft%2Bxq2AEvo%2B3qfL8VHtIKXbJ1DPWiNRVO2WljPVIzWGHSYgadwd%2F65XL9ggeiI3HVkcU5egjXQG22Hb4ZjcJ9MmAX%2BaU6qkkSdKr3kb8J4F0l0LacCVzO7|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A4429486&itmmeta=01HTFGB4WM5NF25CSEB59F8MHM

Agree on the wiper but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a usdm car with it.  IIRC there were conversations way back in the day (2008-10ish? Damn I’ve been her a while) about what is required to do the conversion and it came down to importing the jdm rear glass along with the arm and guts of the wiper. Spendy but special! 

Yea that would be cool but too much to do for something thats not really worth it imo

Do you have the 4th brake light on the rear deck? 

i do, i never get why we have 4 brake lights lol

Have you given any thought to a S204 wing? Integrated 3rd brake light and more OEM style risers.

i think the S203 risers looks better on the legacy than the risers on the S204 and i think the S204 riser is a little higher too if im not mistaken, which doesnt look good on the legacy if i were to do this. im going to get the legacy sti trunk spoiler to retain the 3rd brake light.

That wing sticks out like a dick on a fish.

But your exterior looks so good without it

Def a fan of the OEM optional spoiler with 3rd brake light.

i knew it was gonna be controversial, u gotta trust the process  but heres where i got the inspiration from. and i agree i like the current wing with the 3rd light, im going to try and source the legacy sti low profile trunk spoiler with the 3rd brake light as well. if i ever feel like going back to original trunk, i can just swap it back on.

Guess my manifestation has been fulfilled by the universe, which is crazy. As i been thinking about putting a S203 wing on my legacy to look different, a local seller popped up selling his. A week later picked up the rep S203 wing for $300. Saved about $600 if i were to buy one from ebay. I know this is gonna be controversial but i think it looks good. Especially when i get the rest of the bodykit painted and put on. Gonna try to find another legacy trunk and put this on it so dont worry guys, current oem trunk will not be tampered with. 

Some more small interior add ons. Euro gray wood center console bezel trims and flexible "real" cf center vent surround. Definitely upscaled the interior imo

I have the flexible STi strut top bar and the lower flexible bar too. I installed them top, then lower bar sometime afterwards, and I think there was a nice little improvement. The front end feels tighter, and a little less noisy/less dash rattle. Really happy with them both, just need to install the two other braces that come with it.

thats good to know! cant wait til i install the lower flex bar. but yes i feel like the more tighter the car feels, the more special it feels to me lol

@Fenrir1 what is the purpose of the Cusco front bar? Is it somehow attached to the chassis differently from the crash beam?

it probably stiffens the front end and lessens chassis flex but probably wont feel it as much. it also looks great even though you wont be able to see it lol

I def prefer your car without the garnishes. 

haha the fronts are def not going on but i do kinda like the rear ones for some reason

Got the sti flexible lower arm bar that goes underneath the car and got the jdm tail lids as well. I think i like em and might stick them on once i get them paint matched. What do yall think?

Lucky me- some talented friends worked their magic. Bumper is “safely” back together. Exhaust sticks out for now but not bad.

think ur buddies can make another one and sell/ship it to me? 

I waited over a friggin year for this due to vendor saying it kept getting pushed back and forgot about it to they dont know when its coming but since i didnt mind waiting, i kept my order and they proceeded with it. Today, it finally came. This was inspired by gears&gasoline Ben's evo9, when i saw he had one on, i went searching to see if they made it for the legacy and voila they did.. i will probably put this on whenever i feel like it or when i swap the front end to the jdm bumper. An example of what it will look like with it on, unfortunately i couldnt find one without the beam in the way.
