Official jdm conversion/aftermarket body thread


Recommended Posts

go for a RWD instead of AWD car

 

I had my fun with a 240 for a year, and yeah you can make them look great and all but I'm just saying the staggered look, makes that wagon stand out and look so good, whether its practical is another reason. Then again when modding a car there is never to far. It's all just money.

These are classic. Very nice wheel.

Offset won't add that much of a lip.

 

The rear wheels are more then likely a 18x9.5 with a +15, 22 or a 18x10.5 +18

 

But my guess is more then likey an 18x 10.5 judging by the following picture.

Sorry to quote these pics again but this is my favorite JDM front end to date. If you ever want to revert to stock let me know and I'll swap. I'm local too! :lol:

Well I'll make the list:

JDM Bumper

Bumper Beam

Bumper Brackets

Shock Absorber

Fender Liners

Fog Lights

 

This is all 2005-2007 not 08+. Don't want anyone in our group getting their hopes up like I did earlier last year :spin:

 

For the 08-09 take all of the above and add actual JDM fenders and JDM headlamps. Also, there is still some concern about proper hood fitment but nothing conclusive yet.

fog lights fit, either need jdm brackets, make your own brackets or cut the housing from your usdm bumper.

 

Someone please clarify if the 08-09 fogs need the same modification to fit for a JDM conversion

 

New list (Most complete retrofit):

 

05-07 (Rev A-C)

JDM Bumper

Bumper Beam (or cut USDM beam)

Bumper Brackets

Shock Absorber

Fender Liners (or cut original liners)

Fog Lights (JDM brackets, DIY brackets, or entire assemblies cut out of USDM bumper.)

 

08-09 (Rev D-F)

JDM Headlights

Fenders

Bumper

Bumper Beam (or cut USDM beam)

Bumper Brackets

Shock Absorber

Fender Liners

Fog Lights (JDM brackets, DIY brackets, or entire assemblies cut out of USDM bumper.)

No bracket needed on the 08-09 for the fogs. Stock fogs will work. Be sure to distinguish the 'bumper brackets' as there's two sets. One for the headlights and the side bracket that holds in the bumper to the fender. The latter of the two brackets may or may not carry over from the USDM bumper. They're dirt cheap, so one might as well pick them up just to be safe.

 

If you really want to be complete with the install, you'll need a headlight leveling switch and the plugs that attach to the leveling motor. The plugs can be purchased from a Toyota or Lexus dealer. You'll need a way to rig the stock headlight system to the JDM lights, as the harness and bulbs are different. The JDM has a separate parking light bulb whereas the USDM parking light is integrated with the turn signal bulb.

Japan back-imported USDM Outback body pieces, because Japan didn't get the Outback.

Doh! I even have photos of it I took:

But I believe that was introduced back into Japan with the facelift in 07 (08 elsewhere). I don't recall ever covering an Outback for the 04-06 model years.

It's been a while, so maybe... The problem was that the overfenders would have pushed it out of the size class it was in for parking/tax reasons, so it's possible that it was available, but nobody bought it. I can't recall ever seeing one on the street.

The guy you are referring to is Scooby2.5. His rear bumber is a JDM Legacy Wagon/Outback bumper. He ordered it color matched and with a new/shorter bumper beam. You might give him a shout for the details.
