Robbob72cb Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Anyone know of any good websites that sell JDM parts or JDM replica parts? I’m looking to stand apart from the crowd a little bit! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Perscitus Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 You're already standing out a fair bit from the crowd by owning/driving a 5th gen. Keep her stock and most importantly well-maintained and it will stand out even more. And if you really can't scratch the itch (and want it to stand out less), try japanparts.com, alibaba, rakuten, extremespoiler (many of the subtle 2015+ WRX STI roof and trunk lips fit the 5th gens).
Humble Rumble Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 There's not really anywhere stateside that you can get much for any sort of reasonable price, other than a lot of the universal stuff or the few eBay clones that exist (you can just search our model and likely find them). If you're really really dead set on getting some JDM bits cosmetically, start with the rear end. Most rear bumper lips/half spoilers will fit the USDM bumper with little to no modification. Rear full bumpers can also be made to work. However, anything for the front end is a deep, dark, exceedingly expensive rabbit hole that I suggest you avoid unless you have some serious coin set aside. The USDM cars have a market-specific full front end shape, and in order to get anything JDM to fit properly, you're looking at having to change the bumper, hood, grille, and light brackets to start, which after parts/shipping/paint you're looking somewhere in the range of $5k-$10k. Shipping costs are your biggest hurdle for anything you get. For example, I have a Gialla rear bumper half lip awaiting paint and install that cost me around $500 to ship. I'm not saying don't try to go after this stuff, but be warned and wary of the costs involved. The sites Perscitus listed are good places to start. You can also find plenty on Yahoo.jp auctions, but that's a bit less user-friendly to use. 2012 Legacy 3.6R Build Thread 5th Gen Legacy BM/BR Body Kit Compendium Thread
