TexasLegacy2.5GT Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Sludge, I don't know about the JDM bumpers but as far as the USDM RS's I can say yes after you go with the smaller Legacy Grill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sludgeroo Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Ok do you use the usdm beam support as well or the legacy one? Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasLegacy2.5GT Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Since my Leggy came damaged when I bought it I welded on a 99' OB wagon radiator support that fit it just fine. There are so many JDM stores here in Dallas,Tx. that it might have been cheaper to just buy a JDM RS front clip and have welded that on. I didn't pay too much for the bumper so I made out well with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Wagon Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 Tex- what did you do about the headlight difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasLegacy2.5GT Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The RS bumper doesn't effect the headlight fit at all. Monkey on here sold me the one piece lights awhile back but I put on the Morettes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't there a little ridge under the headlights that is a different curve- leaving a gap in the grill side of the legacy headlights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasLegacy2.5GT Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 There is a small ridge under the headlights. The RS bumper is basically flat and comes up just about flush to the lights and smaller grill there's really isn't a noticeable gap at all.

TexasLegacy2.5GT Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Sludgeroo So are you saying regular 2.5rs gc8 bumpers fit with the above stated exceptions also? http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee134/Rubenjc111/ED08A2EA-79C1-40F1-B280-2552CE1B0734.png http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee134/Rubenjc111/6984310E-E239-480C-AAFF-25CB4086A861.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

98Wagon Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 I spent most of Sunday swapping over all of my WRX goodies to the new wagon. What do you guys think? http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/11/3y3y5ehu.jpg http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/11/7abeqapa.jpg I have some 3/8" aluminium in the garage I need to make some saggy butt spacers out of. Other than that, I like it. The increased braking is awesome. I need to disable the ABS as it seems to lessen the the brakes capability- and I have driven without them most of my life. Also need to get an alignment. I'm thinking -1.5* caster on the front maybe -1* in the back if I can get that much out of the factory bolt holes, and 0* toe all the way around. Sound good to you guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Wagon Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Btw- the dirt from the snowy roads and the 30th anniversary emblem look like dents. They are not. This car is almost pristine. These were just quickies from this morning. I need to get some matching paint and paint the wing, the peeling ps trim, and outback hood w/scoop to match and get them on.

TexasLegacy2.5GT Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Twisty, 98wag, & Sludge, There is one more JDM LEGACY front bumper that was only around during the end of the 2nd gen legacy lifespan in Japan. I think it rocks..it's not the GT-B one either. At first I thought it was a JDM aftermarket application but after I saw the OEM Fog light/Rally light mounts on sale I realized that was from the bumper that caught my attention. It so be my left nut to buy I bet so I should just let it go.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasLegacy2.5GT Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Blank, you are pretty comprehensive but NONE of those are it!! Let me post in a bit.

Sludgeroo Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yea That top one is just a USDM bumper with a lip kit and jdm projector fogs. Looks sick tho! Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk As fars as I know thats the only difference between the JDM and USDM gt one. The projectors fogs fit the JDM one and you have to cut the bumper a bit to get the projectors in the US version. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sludgeroo Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Yes you have to cut the bumper cover on the usdm on to fit them as well as redo the mounting points on the bumper beam. Sent from my VS980 4G using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasLegacy2.5GT Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 BD5 BG5 OEM Subaru Fog/rally lights: http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee134/Rubenjc111/37D6069E-5BB6-4217-AAFB-CA11839F5238.png I was suspect that they were GT-B lights on the mounts that had been modified then I found this bumper that clearly houses those specific lights. I like that the bumper gets the large fogs in there while not making the bumper look too "busy" in a rice kind of way. I like simple designs: http://i231.photobucket.com/albums/ee134/Rubenjc111/2BA99762-orig.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
