Blink Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 @JT - Looks amazing. What’s the shadow just in front of the front wheels; is there an extractor vent there? Also, is your license plate mount molded into the K2 bumper cover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT1657616149 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 thank you, and yeah its has the vents on the sides. plate mount is built in by k2gear I believe its required in japan. I want to have it filled / molded to be smooth and also open up the bumper to expose the entire intercooler Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecDubC Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 i m not sure where you going with this but you dont need the radiator face you showing in the diagram , usdm and jdm share same body . what you need is bracket headlight and best to have the bumper reinforcement . it will be cheaper you buy a nosecut in your country and repaint it . 99.9 %the paint will not match. Is this the part you are referring to for both sides? I realize I would need that too, bolts included (circled in blue)? Also could buy some of the crash beam parts shown in this pic if I don't want to trim I suppose. Here's the link to megazip, they are pretty thorough when it comes to diagrams by chassis code too. The link is to the JDM 6 speed facelift models I believe: https://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dlya-avtomobilej/subaru/legacy-2159/bl5f-6441/bl5-4ch-552535/front-bumper-7080514# Still trying to avoid buying a whole nose cut just because I don't have the means to keep many large extra parts around to sell right now.

Blink Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 ^That's a really nice accent. I would've added it to mine when i was making repairs to the fiberglass. Being FG, cutting&filling the plate mount will be super easy. IIRC, the little gap at the lower forward corner of the front fenders is a difference bet. USDM and JDM.

JT1657616149 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Tints got done today, 5% sides, 15% rear, 35% front. Also Sport skirts and rear spats on the way from russia! Should have just got them before paint but whatever, I was still undecided at the time. Im pretty confident it will compliment the front end nicely, stock skirts are too bland and the rear just looks lack luster because of the front. Duckbill helps, but not enough. Looking to wrap the chrome trim in some sort of carbon look. And as much as I normally dont like all clear tail lights, I feel like this car could pull it off well. No one makes them so I would have to do something custom. Not sure though. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpecDubC Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 (edited) So, sorry for being repetitive, I just need a straight up answer, what else is needed to convert Rev D USDM BL front end (2008) to JDM Rev D? My current understanding is: JDM Bumper Cover JDM Bumper Reinforcement (Crash Beam) JDM Fenders (fit the slightly diff headlight profile for JDM) JDM Headlights (with under supports pieces) JDM Grille (fit the bumper profile) I may be leaving out fog lights if there are some mounting differences there? Might be looking at aftermarket there anyway. Aside from different headlight/fog light wiring I assume none of the underworking (brackets) around the radiator etc. which are typically sold with a front clip are actually different or necessary to convert? Thanks Edited April 22, 2021 by SpecDubC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 What you listed here are definitely all the essentials. There is a plastic piece that goes between the bottom of the bumper and the radiator support piece though. I am not sure if the USDM one fits as my car was missing this piece. If you get a front clip though, then you should have everything you need. I think that's it really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAABaruu Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 My heart! Was it a 5MT? Regardless, I've seen your cars and can say that they all seem to be well taken care of. Originally a 5MT SWP wagon, no sunroof. Originally owned by LGT forum member PhilT. I purchased it from him in 2017 with a 04 STI 6MT + brembos, avo 420 + avo fmic. I refuse to send the shell to its demise. I'll hang onto it if I have to. I'll donate it to someone if they don't ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAABaruu Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Sometimes I wonder if I haven't sold my front clip because I'm meant to finish this legacy build... I'm constructing a bakery and only parted out my car to help fund it. New owner has a 05 LGT sedan in GA and will be running my JDM dual AVCS U20 legacy heads that are ported with Kelford cams, upgraded springs, retainers, v10 ej207 built shortblock, arp625+ on e85 and a precision 6262. Redline 9000RPM. He's got 90% of my Legacy build in his car. Pics of the motor build https://imgur.com/a/XXo5biE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepywgn Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Fellas, I've been looking at swapping a clip but realized the OBXT "fender flares" won't line up w any of the available clips I've seen. Since the OBXT is mainly an American notion (to my understanding), I'm guessing my options are nil unless I want to fabricate onto said clip a continuation of that flare line?
