08 09 USDM Legacy front lip options?


Recommended Posts

Posted
Maybe it's my searching skills, but I cannot find any options for 08-09 front lips besides modifications to other lips. Are there any bolt on options for these cars at all? I'm looking for a modest front lip without having to modify it to fit. Are there any out there or am I stuck having to modify one? If so, what's one of the easier ones to modify?

Bump...I have yet to find anything but I would like to find a good fitting lip without modifying for my 08lgt.

I am looking for options too.

 

Currently 08/09 specific there is:

1)The BTAero One

(But I am not a fan)

2)RBS front lip is discontinued and I dont think people are able to reach him although, I would really like one still!

Customish:

 

1) I had the 06-07 WRX PU lip on my car (lost it in the snow a few weeks ago) and it actually fit pretty well but I am also looking for other options.

What I want to know is, has anyone ever tried:

 

1) 05/06 Legacy Lip on an 08/09?

Like the R-Rev or something

2) Has anyone tried an 04/05 WRX lip

3) Has anyone tried a 08-14 Sti Lip

I like that they have the center piece in the middle. But I wanted to find something that had more definition

 

Otherwise...should I be looking into doing something like this?

I just wanted something different from the 06-07PU lip...

 

I have the JDM lip but I will put that on when I retire it as my DD

Yeah I researched more and finally found people are putting 06-07 WRX S204 lips on with mild modification to the center so that's what I went with. Hopefully it turns out alright. I'll probably know how it looks in a week and I'll post a picture

The one I got looks very close to that one I believe, but we shall see once it's put on. I only spent $60 on it so if it turns out good, I'll be even more pleased haha

I thought you knew about the 06-07wrx but you were against "modifying other lips". Yeah, the lip fits just fine.

 

The Bayson R one looks almost exactly like the 06-07 wrx one...

 

The picture is of a JDM front bumper and I saw that page too before and it did say "JDM front only"

I was, but I couldn't justify spending over a bill for something that will probably crack in a few years lol

-I have the Haynes repair mag for Legacy 00-09 and its tilling me that 05 and later front bumper covers are all the same. So at least the mounting bolts for those are the same, I dont see why the lip would only be able to be attached to 05-06 assuming the lip uses the bottom mounting bolts? I might be looking at getting a front lip soon myself but Im not entirely sure if Im right on that theory. (Also, I suggest everybody gets the Haynes mag, VERY useful. Got mine at Pep Boys for $35)

I don't care what Haynes tells you the bumpers are quite different and molded lips for one will not fit the other. While the mounting points are similar the shape is different.

 

Also consider if you search this forum for "Vacation Pics" you can have the real factory service manuals for free....

Have a read through that; many people have modified this lip for their 08/09's.

 

pros - cheap

cons - needs some modifying

Nice car!

 

Yeah I had the 06-07 lip:

http://legacygt.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=163340&d=1379450013

but I wanted something different from everyone else.

 

I still have my JDM lip but that will go on one day (attached)

 

But I guess the 05-06 lgt ones arent much different from the 06-07 wrx ones.

 

I guess there is just the S204 style and the chargestyle....

 

Guess ill be going back to the S204 one...
