12sechatch Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Re: Install of the bumper "kit", is there any 'gotchas' I need to be aware of? Is there a DIY thread somewhere? I can't find anything good in my 20 seconds of searching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegacyDan Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 So after switching back to TMIC setup i need a new bumper skin to replace the gaping hole on my front end which i now have: to 08+ spec b/s402 front end: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3/desperatedano/FL1.jpg I thought it would be easy considering its already a jdm model but parts list i seem to need so far include: Bumper skin front fenders crash bar foam supports upper and lower foglights and brackets foglight covers headlights(with or without washers) headlight brackets side bumper clips I need to figure out if the non-washer units are HID(Xenon) as standard and will the be plug and play with my current HID wiring Also i need to figure out if i can get the headlight washer jet wiring working and figure out do they spray off the stalk like the windshield washers or is there a seperate butto or different stalk needed Headlights will most likely come from auctions in Japan, fenders too but i can't find any of the 08+ ones i want. Bumper skin i can get from local Subaru dealer surprisingly cheap brand new so thats good. Im assuming the arch liners i have will work and undertray is the same, both will be replaced later down the line as both have damage or sections cut out from various mods over the years! If anyone that has gone with the above facelift, let me know any links to any european suppliers you came across or good places to check for in Japan. Currently my searching is only on Nengun.com auctions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lingling1337 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Does anyone make a plate adapter so I can run my US plates on the front of my JDM spec B bumper? I am just using the relocation kit now but the bare ez nuts look so ugly on the front of the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegacyDan Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 So seems like i have found most of the facelift parts locally from subaru delaer and got prices too, I just need to figure out the headlights as im sure they cost a fortune new from Subaru. I'll probably start a seperate facelift conversion thread and post back here when i actually start putting it all together! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklegend06 Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Not to brag, but my JDM 4th gen legacy http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b300/darklegend06/IMAG0405.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b300/darklegend06/IMAG0406.jpg Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lingling1337 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 That antenna on the front bumper is dope. Same for the rear window wiper. Am I the only one who prefers the JDM 2.5i headlights to the GT headlights though? At least on a lighter colored car I think the all chrome housings look better than the blacked out.

Hanger Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Is that what it is, wrx side and rear spats? Definitely unique. Fosho but it was PS'ed on. The side pieces may fit with some trimming. The rear piece will not because it's way too short :spin: ○ ○ ○ Instagram: itshangertime :spin: ○ ○ ○ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BagheeraLGT Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 and second question of the day... I stumbled across this link earlier in the thread https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/15300 I can't believe how cheap these are in the motherland....and how obnoxious shipping prices are. dayumn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleylegacy Posted January 13, 2015 Author Share Posted January 13, 2015 Well, when you ship anything in the size of a bumper, dimensional weight is what causes the shipping to be higher than the item itself. Think about the size of the box that has to be flown over. Even on the boat its pretty expensive cause you have to pay customs fees and brokerage.

Leviman Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 You sure that can't be cleaned? Just pull em apart and clean up the plastic, if it's etched it, just cut and buff it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
