Hops Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 Front bumper splitter removed and license plate holes filled... Painted the underside of the rear bumper black to partially keep the '05 look. http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n121/JDMChizad/1010081618.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n121/JDMChizad/1010081621-1.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n121/JDMChizad/1010081718.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n121/JDMChizad/1010081719.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n121/JDMChizad/1010081719a.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n121/JDMChizad/1010081720.jpg Buy my cars!

Jerboa113 Posted October 11, 2008 Share Posted October 11, 2008 your camera R suck. from the pics the color looks off? Is it the camera? I'm very picky about things like that so if something doesn't match I have a cow.. It irks me that the oem door handles do not match the doors perfectly. overall.. I cant decide if I like it or not, your camera is misrepresenting it.

Hops Posted October 11, 2008 Author Share Posted October 11, 2008 you had it done at maaco??? Somebody had to say it. Yes, I had it done at Maaco. My dad owns the shop. Maaco has a pricing scale... From an affordable paint job to a show car paint job. Just depends on what you want to spend. They are individually owned franchises, so each one is different. Buy my cars!

katalyst Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 now i wish someone would rear end me 0_0 ............. hahah!! jkz but jdmchizad, that's a pretty sweet conversion i think it looks really good. you should have gotten the vents instead of the reflectors in the bumper though, i think that would look a bit better. how much did the bumper and lights cost from subaru?

Hops Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Where can I get the vents? Those damn reflectors were $49 each! The taillights were about $150. I really need to find the invoice with all the prices. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripsweetness Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Too funny:lol: I have an 08 and cant stand the chrome on the tails. I want what you had, know you have what I dont want. Clean results though. Congrats!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserpro2 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 JDMChizad, i'm glad that the swap worked out! i also like how the underside is painted black, it's something which i consider the legacy to must have - cause it adds points to the sportiness. but then if you went JDM it'd be even better! =PPPPPPPPP btw, if someone did this swap to a wagon, all you would get is extra reflectors on the rear bumper and nothing else, cause that i think was the only change to the wagon rear bumper look. the design on the wagon rear bumper should be the same for 08 and 05-07 so you can literally swap the old bumper design if you don't like the reflectors on the wagon.

Vsick Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 looks sweet.....anyone know if the front bumper is plug and play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 looks sweet.....anyone know if the front bumper is plug and play? As a minimum you'd have to replace the headlights and the front fenders... and could be more to do, but that's what's immediately visible. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 ^ yea, bumper skin, foglights, bumper beam and pad, headlights, probably the headlight mounting brackets, grill, and maybe the splash guard underneath, fenders and any associated brackets for those.

feelander Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I get her back tomorrow and I will post it. The only parts are the bumper, tail lights, bumper brackets, and reflectors. which brackets did you need? looking at the part catalog there are upper, side and lower brackets.

HKC-speed.com Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Thought you might have some good ideas to share with us since you've donethis in person. So, slightly off topic - do you think if we fit the 08 tails onto the 05 Legacy without changing the bumpers? By this I mean fabricating a piece (CF?) that would replicate the "missing piece" of the 08 front bumper. We are "considering" possibly coordinating and finding someone to design LED tails for the sedan. Thanks, J. HKC-speed.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 if the led tails were for the 08 only I wouldn't be interested, but 05-07 I would.. depending on the design. I dont want any tacky "altezza" lights or something.. personally, I like my slightly taller less squatty no chrome trim taillights... although I dont hate the 08s..
