wrx2blackGT Posted November 6, 2005 Author Share Posted November 6, 2005 wow good call on all those pics. Hadnt seen them before!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUD Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 those quad exhausts are slick. IMHO, much better than big cans.. I kinda like the dual tip design that mine came with (the idea), but I'd much rather have the Tanabe G Medallion (x2) on the back. http://www.toyotaparts4u.com/Gary_Lara_1.jpg Sorry if it's too big. Other than that.... Stubby bumpers....oooooooo I love stubby bumpers! Bring em on! It is the disposition of men to desire that which he cannot have, hence my un-quenchable wet desire for Shakira!

niro Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 I'm new to this board, but all I can say is Please get them here. Those body kits are sooo hot. They make the front end look so much fuller and stockier. And the Audi comment, they do look similar to Audi's, but they also look like the Acura and a few other manufactures.

wrx2blackGT Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 OK well we got posters (all spoken for) and a ton of catalogs dropped off after hours. Def cool stuff. Ill try emailing them today to see what further info we can get. Hey Scans! does tomorrow happen to work for you? Shoot me a PM with a number I can reach you at if it does. Im off all day (may be heading to the auto show though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYNY Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 i agree about the audi-ishness but hey it's better than stock USDM. does this kit affect anything for passing inspection though (bumper heights, etc?). i hope your dealership's management was as interested as we all are.

Drakuun Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 I admit, the JDM Front Bumper is nicer than the USDM one, but cripes people, I still like the USDM better than making my Legacy look like an Audi just for the sake of not having the USDM bumper. Fugly lookin if you ask me anyways.. Audis are so mundanely styled.. yeah I want my leggy to look just like that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrx2blackGT Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Ill be honest I think this will be a hard sell for any dealership. Mgmt. is concerned with soooo many thingsalready, to throw a new line of parts into the mix, may be a low priority. If any dealership can be convinced though its us (planet subaru) 4 of us own GT's, and are all fanatical about them. I would still like to hear any input from a vendor about what it would tak to start carrying these parts. I understand they way to get the savings on frieght charges is to buy in bulk, so the initial investment is probably what most retailers would be hesitant about. BUT who do you think would have a better chance of selling more product..... an aftermarket vendor who specializes in parts POSSIBLY even specializes in only subaru parts etc..... OR..... a dealership, where customers ALREADY have the concenption that they wont get any parts from a dealership becuase they could get the same ones cheaper through online or an aftermarket parts vendor! Its just seems to me these parts would get better exposure AND be aimed at the right target market if they were available through an outside vendor. Thoughts?

Legasee Posted November 7, 2005 Share Posted November 7, 2005 +1 for more people wanting to get it from a non-subaru dealer, I sure heck wouldn't want to get it from them if they were gonna charge me 2x the price and not cover it under warranty (since more aftermarket items are not covered, even SPT exhausts installed by the dealer!!)...haha....I'll spend my $$$ at the "turner shops" thank you In Taiwan now...

wrx2blackGT Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 yeah I hear ya Legasee, I think their intentions are to setup something similar to japan where the parts are not "overpriced" and are covered under warranty, however I think we all know the difficulty of getting SOA to jump on board with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myUsername Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 When I saw this a couple days ago, I thought that the bumper looked familiar. Then driving home today, BOOOM, it hit me...it looked like the Mazda 3 going the opposite direction.

jc51373 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 After seeing those pictures of the Corazon kits on those cars, I am seriously considering making sweet sweet love to my Laptop. I love EM!!!! I am sure all you married gentlemen can understand my desires. Tonight I will go to bed and click my heels three times and hope tomorrow when I open up the garage my car will look like one of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Since the center console is turned slightly toward the driver, the trims are shorter on the driver's side vs. the passenger's side, and contoured differently to compensate. That is why LHD and RHD are have different peices... sucks, tho. I wanted the K2gear silver carbon fiber trims... same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrx2blackGT Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 the good news is they told me they are developing some for the US cars and will email me with updates on the trim pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraysonSubaru Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 <<--- wants to know about the exhaust. Dual tip exhausts that actually fit up into the bumper cutout are sexy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraysonSubaru Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I hope they consider using matte finish metal as well. The one thing I wasnt so psyched about the trim pieces that I saw was that they were all blinged out chrome. /quote] +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
