valkrie hunter Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Just wanted to start a documentation on a project that should have been a very bad idea.. So with the limited lip options for 5th Gen Legacies, I wanted to try something different. Bought a WRX CS style 1 replica lip and started seeing how much work it would take to get it to fit. Let me know what you think! http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a155/ValkrieHunter/Pearl/IMAG1332-1.jpg Lip getting mocked up and glued http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a155/ValkrieHunter/Pearl/IMAG1336-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valkrie hunter Posted September 6, 2013 Author Share Posted September 6, 2013 So after fabbing up the lip, I felt I needed to strengthen the brackets between some of the pieces (where the silver is seen on the pictures above). I used acrylic sheets to hold everything in place. Then filled each of the pieces with plastic epoxy from JB Weld and sand everything smooth. I need to finish fabbing up the brackets from when I initially cut the lip to fit the contour of the bumper http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a155/ValkrieHunter/Pearl/IMAG1343.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a155/ValkrieHunter/Pearl/IMAG1346.jpg http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a155/ValkrieHunter/Pearl/IMAG1347.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

valkrie hunter Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 Ahah thanks! I definitely had my doubts though. Especially when I started cutting everything in pieces. May want to go a different route if I ever have to redo this lip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
