My bad I was thinking Burlington WA which is in skagit county. I was thinking you were another LGT owner in the northwest.

Pre front lip I see. ^

 

Post front lip, a semi trailer blew a tire in front of me and took it out. I have to sand, paint, and refasten it with some larger washers.

A small boulder rolling onto the road did mine in too.:( What kind of lip is that and also what type of cat back exhaust is on your BP?

It's bone stock.

Just did a Hogzaust and had a couple cans of plastidip laying around and got bored one day. Ive been meaning to mess with the grill but no idea's yet.

 

 

What's a good cheap Catback for the wagon's? It's a shame Wrx's get Hks Hi-powers for like $200 and our car is 2x as much for a el'Cheapo.

Welcome! That's some low miles for an 05. I just passed 178k this morning. What part of FL are you in?

 

Here's a potentially inexpensive idea for exhaust: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2011-sti-mufflers-wagon-178311.html?t=178311&highlight=Wagon+STi

 

Might need to do a little tweaking, and you should be able to find some for less than $200.

 

Are you looking to do surgery to the grill or just paint? I went the surgery/bondo route to smooth the transition, I'm quite happy with it. Post 1590 in this thread: http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4777513&postcount=1590

An hour north of Tampa.

 

I may just paint it. and go from there. I just wish I could snag another factory one so I can do some tweaking.

 

 

It's got some clunking sounds over bumps and feels like a warped rotor upfront. then I can start worrying about an Accessport and a front lip and STI goodies.

 

Cant decide on Rota tarmac's or OZ Superleggera's

You are so lucky to have found a SWP in manual. I'm extremely jealous!

What do you mean aren't there like 48 of them made ? LOL

 

And think I turned one of those down after I test drove the car in May of 04. A week or so before I bought my black wagon

Thanks! I found it on autotrader only 80 miles away from where I live. Took a trip up the next day and decided it was perfect. 113,000 miles, one owner, immaculate paint and interior. There are (were) 61 in SWP with the tan leather and 5MT. I'm so glad I went this route over a WRX wagon.

I had the roof rails painted to match the car and the new 3M stone chip coating sprayed on the front of the roof, A pillars and mirrors.

Don't mind the pollen on the car it will wash off.

 

Also while the head liner was out I had them replace the wire harness for the hatch.
