mechdiff Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Nice job!!! I really like the front end. I thought the K2 would look good but I think like someone else said the rear end doesn't look balanced. I'd prefer to have just a smaller lip spoiler. But overall very nice!!!!!!!

CreoSTi Posted April 16, 2006 Author Share Posted April 16, 2006 did you also get a new undertray? Did you reuse the foglights? How much was the total OEM front end conversion? Yes, I have the spec.B specific splash guard. You can also reuse the USDM fog lights as long as you have the brackets for the 2.0GT spec.B fog lights. If you search on here, there was someone who showed how to mount everything up using the stock fog lights (via velcro/cable ties). I couldn't wait for Paul anymore (since the brackets were supposed to be shipped to me ~3 weeks ago), so I actually just went ahead and ordered the full 2.0GT spec.B fog light kit from Japan Parts (and received them within 2 weeks). Total price including all parts, shipping, and repainting, was probably ~$3K. -Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt_ltd Posted April 16, 2006 Share Posted April 16, 2006 Mike, you should send pics and your exterior mod list to SOA, hopefully the idiots there will "get it." This Space For Rent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02M3 Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Honestly, that is one of the best looking Legacy's I have seen, period. I was tooling with the idea of keeping mine totally stock, but after seeing those pictures, i might start saving for the spec b bumper. Definitely post up more pics when you get the advans and the coilovers on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wy4tt Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 Alright man, that is the best looking Legacy I've ever seen. It's exactly what I wanted to see on mine, I just didn't know those parts were available (I'm new to Subaru). Were the parts painted before or after delivery? Thanks for posting.

02M3 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Holy ****... congratulations, the car flows perfectly and is clean as a whistle. I'm sure your performance modifications are going to be equally as tasteful, can't wait to see what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreoSTi Posted April 18, 2006 Author Share Posted April 18, 2006 I'm sure your performance modifications are going to be equally as tasteful, can't wait to see what you do. Actually, I'm spending all of this money on the exterior so I don't (really) touch the engine. I went through turbo swaps, FMICs, fuel pumps, injectors, tune after tune, etc. with the STi. For the spec.B, I just want to get to a good reliable point and just let it be. I currently have a Cobb catted downpipe, MadDad ceramic coated header + uppipe, Perrin crank pulley, K&N Typhoon, Bosal/SPT cat-back (still need to install it), and a Cobb AccessPort. I'm still waiting on my AVO TMIC (and AVO BOV), and then I'll get a ProTune. -Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TYNY Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 IMHO the sweetest legacy around, in N.A. at least. that is a beauty, why not just shave and paint the bumper plugs flat while it was at the shop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreoSTi Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 why not just shave and paint the bumper plugs flat while it was at the shop? Because I'll be putting on my front plate once I get the bracket. -Mike- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ion Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Stupid state laws that require front tags... Where did you order adjustable bracket? Hopefully it will work so you do not have to fabricate something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfxdave99 Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 About the plate.. what about reverse mounting it behind one of the openings on the bumper? Ive seen quite a few like that at the last hot import nights.. and it would be so much nicer then seing you drill holes in that beautiful bumper PS I know im going to get flamed for this but I like the spec.b rims better. If everything seems under control, you're just not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Spec B wheels look nice, but are heavy and narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
