dgoodhue Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I changed my oil this weekend on '12 GT. It is only being driven 3 seasons (no winters) and usually not in the rain. I was able to pull the push pins out by hand and the screw came out with a bare socket (I didn't need a wrench for leverage) Two years ago, I had replace my lower heat shield and used new push pins, so all the fasteners are relatively new.

creep_nu Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 i got a big assortment set of different size push pins and a baggy of 100 of the bumper size pins a few years back, they're so handy to have around, definitely recommend everyone to have them and just replace them when they're sticky or one of the legs break or whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble Rumble Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 Little detail that I've been wanting to do for a long, long time now: H6 fender badges. These are OEM badges from JDM H6 4th gens, and I think they make a lovely accent on a 5th gen. I was originally going to go with the Piston 6 badge from 3rd gen GT30/RS30's, but I'm glad I went with these ones instead. I love them. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plastixx Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Finally put on the replacement bumper with fogs I bought back in November. I was tired and didn't pull it out in the sun to check the paint match, but I can already tell it's not quite right. Oh well, didn't expect perfection for a $250 bumper. Also changed out all the lights in the front to LED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wrxwhit Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) Driver headlight lens replaced via the oven bake method. Don’t have a before on the car but lens is beyond refinishing.

MikeyNice Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I need to do the same with mine. Where did you get the replacement lense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxwhit Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I just shopped on eBay for the whole assembly preferably one with broken tabs as they are cheaper. Mines not a direct swap as I have customized them with halos, projectors and blacked out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyNice Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Ok, thanks for the info. I thought there might be a site that just sold the lense. I'm the same as you with the headlight being blacked out with halos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrxwhit Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 You know, I think I have seen a company that just makes the lenses which I can’t remember when I was researching, but not sure on fitment accuracy hence going the used route Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scubaboo Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) ^do check they are for US lights, US headlights are different from the rest of the world EDIT Apparently not according to Humble Rumble, same for all markets Edited March 30, 2021 by Scubaboo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humble Rumble Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 Neither the lens nor the overall shape of the housing is different for any world market. The differences are in the motorized adjusting/factory HID/lack of side marker in the non-USDM lights. The lens' are identical for all 5th gens. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niko0422 Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) Detailed it myself for the first time ever during the weekend. Also, didn’t do it yet, but I’m planning on painting my calipers this Thursday. I can’t decide between black or blue , and just wanted some opinions I want to eventually change the wheels to black Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Edited March 30, 2021 by Niko0422 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this time reading here i thought I gathered that the US headlights were slightly different shape. I even held off getting used facelift lights when I was there, should have gotten those!

Humble Rumble Posted March 30, 2021 Share Posted March 30, 2021 The lights are just about the only thing that's the same shape between USDM and JDM. Virtually everything else is different, even down to the light brackets, but the lights themselves are physically interchangeable. I do believe USDM and JDM have different plugs though. Only other part I know that's interchangeable weirdly is the post-facelift foglight bezels. The JDM and USDM post-facelift front ends are much more similar than pre-facelift, so much so that the OEM option LED fog bezels for facelift can fit USDM with no modification. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niko0422 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Thinking of removing the front grill and painting it black. Are the chrome wings and border removable ? Or will I just have to mask the whole grill ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
