Official jdm conversion/aftermarket body thread


Recommended Posts

The guy dosnt want to ship or otherwise it would have been perfect. I was thinking of getting a front clip from Canada and then ordering the skirt from japan already painted.

 

You actually like that? Personally I way prefer the USDM bumper to that one.. kinda looks strange with the 3 prong lip

I just want to make sure but BP9 is the facelift model right?

I bought this https://www.jspecauto.com/engine_details/3894/subaru-legacy-gt-bp9-front-bumper-cover-with-grill-and-fog-lights-2005-2009

but realized it said BP9 and promptly cancelled . But in the pictures, compared with a BP5 bumper it looks basically the same .

 

Theres alos a good deal on a BP5 legacy bumper with a lip on there.

I don't know if that BP9 you linked is a slightly different model for post-facelift (and I wouldn't take the risk) but here's that bumper in pre-facelift mode http://www.kijiji.ca/v-auto-body-parts/calgary/jdm-subaru-legacy-gt-wrx-wagon-bl5-front-end-nosecut-04-09/1072457966?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true

That looks like pre-facelift to me. On the sides where the headlight meets the fender is straight across for A-C and is more "wavy" on D-F because the edge of the headlight curves up.

That's a Rev A-C Sports Bumper

I asked the guys to compare that one and another BL5 bumper and they said there were some differences between the two . What would the difference be between the two ?

You do realize that the first option is D-F and you will need JDM headlights, JDM fenders, JDM fender liners, JDM beam/absorber and JDM headlight brackets?

Yeah it is. Literally took 1 month to get here. Partially due to HKC taking over a week to ship and partially due to some BS from UPS. **** I hate UPS. On the other hand now it's here and I'm hoping for some good weather this weekend. I've also got the honeycomb grill in the cardboard there, the bumper beam in a different room and the STI lip under the bumper there. I got my own spats and I got my own fender liners too. I have an Outback grill that's gonna be for sale soon and I have a newer model steering wheel that's gonna go on the car too.

 

:spin: right?

 

Haha anyway both those bumpers you posted look good

I like the second one better, but without the eyelids preferably.

I put something here like all the cool people, except there's nothing cool to put here.

Hmm my JDM honeycomb grill doesn't seem to fit my spec B bumper. Everything I read says that this should fit rev A-C JDM spec B bumper and I bought them together from HKC.. Anyone know anything about this?
