Blink Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 As you probably know, the very few sets of those wheels imported to the States were all gold. I rolled them like that for a few seasons in JDM style, but my color scheme really called out for silver. Thanks for the mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaylew Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I need to get better shots but I couldn't wait to post a picture of this dusty gal after her first drive into work. Its been 9 months since I last drove it following plenty of work.

magnusonsubie Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) Went for a little road trip last weekend.

BoozeRS05 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I go back and forth on a JDM rear bumper a lot. Think I like the USDM version better, but then I see something like MDMAs post..

BoozeRS05 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Is it just the cover? Do I need a bumper beam or anything? I have a quart of RBP in my garage and my OE bumper is faded.

Neal Cassady Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Never going back to USDM. No bumper beam needed and I don't believe JDM even came with a rear bumper beam (can someone with a JDM wagon confirm?). 2006 Legacy GT Wagon - Regamasters, Evo X Recaros, STI 6MT, Brembo 6-Pots (in progress) @regashiii Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I was under the impression it's just the bumper cover needed, nothing else and it's P&P, but never tried to confirm EB's Subaru journal - 2005 LegacyGT Wagon & 2014 Forester FB25 (2008 specB - RIP) IG@legacygtliving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infosecdad Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 It’s just the cover, you remove the USDM beam. A couple people made themselves a new super thin beam, but I’ve just unbolted mine for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonamedude Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Having worked in auto body, no bumper beam horrifies me. There's a write up somewhere and I think you can get a legacy jdm bumper beam that's narrower and fits Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infosecdad Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 Pretty sure it’s an EU rear beam, everything I’ve read says JDM simply doesn’t have one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Febreze Mee Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 I was going to PM you and ask too, Booze. I guess others would probably like to know: How you matched the shifter bezel to the double din trim? MILKRUN - Click Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoozeRS05 Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 It matches just as well in person too.. Good ol'fashioned plastidip. Lots of sanding and scrubbing prior, but it's holding up well even when cleaning with a damp micro fiber EB's Subaru journal - 2005 LegacyGT Wagon & 2014 Forester FB25 (2008 specB - RIP) IG@legacygtliving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
