LegacyDan Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 So i decided to go ahead with this upgrade, using the excuse of needing a new front bumper as a justification, due to switching from a FMIC back to TMIC and various badly fitted front lips over the years and bumps and cracks its time for a new one. I thought since mine already is an early jdm 2.0GT i could get away with just the bumper skin and headlights. After some research and quick chats with valleylegacy(very helpful!) it turns out i need a lot more than that. I originally thought that everything would have to be ordered from Japan, brand new but after reading another members thread on here the 3.0 spec B EDM model shares the same front end as the 08 jdm model. So i asked my local Subaru dealer and the can get a lot of the parts for me easily so i nearly have a complete shopping list together and sources too. Here's what i have so far: Description Part number side bumper clips - 909140007 08 bumper skin - 57704AG220 fog light cover RH - 57731AG740 Fog light cover LH - 57731AG750 Left fog unit - 84912KG051 Right Fog unit - 84912KG041 LH fender - 57110AG0909P RH fender - 57110AG0809P bumper bracket side RH - 57707AG090 bumper bracket side LH - 57707AG100 LH arch liner - 59110AG081(possibly not required) RH arch liner - 59110AG091(possibly not required) FL headlight RH - 84001AG360 FL headlight LH - 84001AG370 headlight bracket LH - 57707AG050 Headlight bracket RH - 57707AG040 headlight bracket screws - 57737GA290 Honeycombe grille - 91121AG151 STI lip - ST96020210*0 I need to figure out which headlight units to go for as there seems to be two different types, so somethings i need to figure out 08 Xenon HID headlights with built in washer (jdm and certain EDM models) 08 headlights with no washer( also HID?) Since my current headlights are factory HID will they wiring be the same and will the newer headlights plug and play nicely into the wiring? So the end result will hopefully go from my tired looking 03-06 jdm 2.0GT front end: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3/desperatedano/IMG_20130409_184515.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3/desperatedano/IMG_20141018_165430.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3/desperatedano/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_20141029_181438.jpg To this fresh new 06-08 jdm facelift lift style ( courtesy of liberty club member gloryboy) http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3/desperatedano/fl2.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3/desperatedano/photo228329.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3/desperatedano/FL1.jpg Any updates will follow as i gather all the parts i need and figure out the unknowns, im sure there is some other parts i havent discovered yet, but hopefully they are not too expensive! Then i may consider a butt lift to and upgrade the rear end too if its not soo costly. Stayed tuned for more updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amar_ramsook Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hey man, what did you do with the old bumper? Would you mind me taking it off your hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Mac Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Even if he still has it, you realise it's in Ireland ay, imagine private shipping a bumper would be horrendous. 2000 Legacy B4 RSK - SOLD 2006 Legacy BP5 GT Spec B wagon - Garage Thread 2011 VW T5 van 2.0L of turbo diesel awesomeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Imprezsing04 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 To the OP, what did you do about the headlight connections? I know the drl in the 05-07 were in the low beams whereas the 08-09 were in the high beam 9005s. Did you splice the wires and reconnect the drl of the old tobthe drl of the new?

Andy_Mac Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 JDM models didn't have a DRL setup so wouldn't have been an issue for him 2000 Legacy B4 RSK - SOLD 2006 Legacy BP5 GT Spec B wagon - Garage Thread 2011 VW T5 van 2.0L of turbo diesel awesomeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyDan Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Yep as Andy mentioned no DRL setup on these. Headlights were plug and play. The only part of them that didnt work was the built in washer jets, which require a different screen washed reservoir and pump which I never got around to do. The JDM facelift headlights don't have this washer, the ones are used were UK facelift version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
