simple Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Seeing those photos opened my mind to new mods for the Outback. Dammit. I want to know how that white Outback got so low? Legacy coilovers? Airbags? Also I noticed a lot of those Legacy owners have Audi Envy. Big time use of replica wheels including RS6, A8L, and Lambos. I've thought about the same since they come in 5X100 but I wasn't sure about the offset. Nice to see it can be done and look very smooth. The other Audi Envy move of adding chrome window trim is unique but something tells me that an up close view would be disappointing. Oh, just noticed two more Audi Envy mods. A5 LED bumper lighting and Audi front bumper chrome grill trim...very clever thanks for sharing! Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 BTW would someone please import JDM Outback bumpers for a reasonable price? I was able to get Euro bumpers for VWs for less than half the price that is charged for JDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerboa113 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 man we get the short end of the stick here with mods.. how did that guy "blue" the inside of his headlight like that? We get the boring looking bumpers, a stock grill.. and some stick on headlight eyebrows.. and they get all that? its downright maddening.

mad99 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I don't know about the Legacy, but a lot of cars in Japan have the blue headlight look from the factory. It is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 These cars are nice, but I think in general JDM modding scene is more about show, not go. No car respecting ethusiast would slam their Legacy like some of these cars in the pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 These cars are nice, but I think in general JDM modding scene is more about show, not go. +1. An unfortunate truth about the japanese mod scene is that its more about visual than performance. I suppose we could argue many of the poor taste mods that exist here originate there. well we know the blue-chrome headlights are not stock.. so I'm curious how it was done..maybesomeone could do it with black chrome andit'd look cool "The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." - Plato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car was bone stock so know they are stock headlights! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loserpro2 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 the blue headlights on particular JDM models are stock due to them being the spec. B model. (no sarcasm or spec. B joke here, i'm serious) otherwise, standard models should get either the stock lights or HID option. *rushes off to save pictures* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No car respecting ethusiast would slam their Legacy like some of these cars in the pics. In fact most of the cutting edge "car scenes" have more show than go mods than the USA. The euros are the same and they look to us to demonstrate the potential in power mods for cars. I think historically the US hot rod scene pioneered the more power mentality. Unfortunately the US auto makers don't offer many cars anymore that have potential for power mods and at the same time the import scene grew and grew. Generally now we have a good mixture of modded cars in the US. You have your giant lifted trucks, your quick imports, monster HP Cadillacs and Mercedes (who would have predicted that), classics, lowriders, etc You bet that I think we have the best car scene in the world but I love getting influences from other nations.

Guest Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I agree. Great part of why the U.S. has a great car enthusiast scene is affordability. Nowhere else cars, parts and fuel are that cheap. The only things that sucks are clueless driving population, absurdly low speed limits and corrupt insurance/police mafia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only things that sucks are clueless driving population, absurdly low speed limits and corrupt insurance/police mafia. I was going to mention cost as well but I didn't want to ramble on how US has always had cheap fuel so they don't mind smoking tires and building high HP monsters that get 2mpg. Man we have it made compared to some of the euro countries with driving rules. When they inspect cars over there they seriously look at the modifications done to them and will prevent you from driving your car! I'm all for emissions standards but I'm glad inspections don't check for non-DOT or "off-road only" modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerboa113 Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 I'm not for emissions inspections.. big brother is watching YOU! screw that. I'm glad I live in GA with some of the more lax requirements.. if any in some parts of the state. unfortunately the asshats in atlanta have some propaganda going about it and have inspections for you to get a tag.. but its nothing special.

Just because you don't have any curved roads in the US doesn't mean you can dictate other people what to do with their suspension tuning. Trust me these people know what they are doing. They have enough power to make you embarrassed and added visual mods... that's just a bonus. After all, there isn't big sleeper market here and word rice referrs to food.

Siper2 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 Or any other state, with the possible exception of much of the midwest. Most people from Japan who I've seen post in the last 14 years I've been online, have mostly said that roads there are generally smoother than ours. So personally I'd say that's the reason they have an easier time getting away with it. Which doesn't change the fact that I think it's ugly as hell to slam a car... any car... but now we're getting in to opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
