xt2005bonbon Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I ordered a JDM rear bumper. Now I need to get a JDM beam (or IIRC, USDM LGT sedan beam). Where and for how much? I need to fix my melted bumper. So ugly . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRX USA Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I'm picking up my JDM bumper from the body shop tomorrow and trying to decide which trim piece I want to use. I'm leaning towards the black rubber one. http://i672.photobucket.com/albums/vv87/JoshEAllen/59D78CC6-054B-46F8-A8D7-E6D4B6F117E9.jpg You can also see how much deeper the USDM bumper is.

MTBwrench Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I definitely agree on the black rubber, the silver looks too chintzy to me.

WRX USA Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Black rubber is definitely the choice I'm going with for my JDM rear bumper but I realized after getting my bumper back from paint and looking through the digital copy of the OEM Legacy Accessories booklet I have that the two that pieces I have are for the Legacy and the Outback one is wider covering all the way to the edge of the bumper. I've seen a few on Yahoo Japan Auctions in the $75-$80 range with no shipping included but for a piece of rubber a new one from Partsouq ($122) made a lot of sense.

Rhitter Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Oil change at 3k miles. Left the filter in place because I didn't feel like removing my skid plate. I have the larger Tokyo roki filter so I am assuming it's fine. I'll change it at 6k miles. Also removed my Nameless performance 5 inch mufflers. I enjoyed them while they were on, wife and 9 week old son, not as much. If they were 7 inch, I think they would have been perfect. I also realized, I don't really like the sound of unequal length headers. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Just bought a 2" inch lift kit from ADF, new spec b front top hats, and a week ago got my BTS kit. Wallet is hurting, but can't wait to install all of that stuff. Maybe I should create a thread with pics to document these mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigleben Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Yesterday went ahead and installed my DD amber front turn signals LED bulbs. Started with driver side : blinked but wouldn't light as parking light. Installed flasher relay + passenger side and started blowing fuses...Rotated the bulb ... more blown fuses Went back to halogens since I was running short of spare fuses. Contacted diode dynamics and they are sending a replacement bulb. Now my FL parking light doesn't work but blinks Today I installed my Xenon Depot xtrem HID kit I bought at the black friday. Installation was pretty straight foward. Biggest pain was how to tuck/secure all the wirings/ballasts without looking a complete mess under the hood. At least I didn't screw up on this !!

Rhitter Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Today I installed my Xenon Depot xtrem HID kit I bought at the black friday. Installation was pretty straight foward. Biggest pain was how to tuck/secure all the wirings/ballasts without looking a complete mess under the hood. At least I didn't screw up on this !! I tried to install a HID kit a few months ago. Failed hard, every time I turned on the I blew a fuse. I called DD to ask what I was doing wrong and they were super unhelpful in installation instructions. This led to the kit melting somehow when I turned it on (pop and smoke) But they did take the kit back, which was good. I think it was the ground wire (tried to attach it to the body of my car) that caused the kit to explode. Maybe at some point I'll do a retrofit. Disclaimer: I have no idea what I am doing. I just follow directions. My OBXT build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sramprashad Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Maybe at some point I'll do a retrofit. Do it! Get the entire kit from TRS: https://www.theretrofitsource.com/complete-retrofit-kits/morimoto-retroquik-subaru-legacy.html As long as you're comfortable opening the headlights, it's a really easy install and the light output is a huge upgrade. And make sure you ground ballasts properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigleben Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Now my FL parking light doesn't work but blinks FWIW the front turn signal bulb as 2 filaments for parking light + blinker. The parking light filament was shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
