apexjapan Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 He's referring to this: [img]http://avoturboworld.com/subaru/images/lip_spoilers.jpg[/img] The rear lip spoiler. It's a Subaru OEM piece (not an STi piece, btw) available in Japan.

apexjapan Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 No no, it comes painted - you'd have to specify your color code when ordering it. We don't have much choice on the painting, actually, as it comes from the Subaru dealer here in Japan. If somebody does want to paint one, we suggest ordering the White and prepping that for painting. We are a bit cheaper than kingofimports because of our location and our buying methods. He's got to take much more of a risk than we do by ordering the parts in bulk, shipping them to the states and then selling them. We take the orders when we get them and buy from the dealers, and then ship them. Kingofimports will be invariably quicker to purchase from when he's got stock, while we are slow but steady.

TRS Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 [quote name='lemming']...i'll be ordering that rear lip spoiler shortly.[/QUOTE] Would appreciate feedback on your experiences ordering & installing/having installed. Haven't even got gotten my Legacy yet (on order) but seriously considering this subtle styling addition (USDM spoiler too bulky looking for me).

Kevskate99 Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Holy shit, the overseas markets get everything. These company's screw us..... I have never seen a US sedan with a rear window wiper. Is that factory in Japan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Yes, they are present from factories in Japan. Please keep your language civil here. We try to make this a board that is different from the rest--more mature and all, except for the Tikki Lounge :p. Thanks! I'm not sure why they chose to remove the wiper. It would've been a nice addition for people who live in rainy states higher north in the states. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC GT Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 I thought the STi one that King of Imports was selling was bigger and had a brake light. If that's the case, that would explain the price difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
