kevinkingofimports.com Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 What parts, body kits, etc by any of the Japanese manufacturers are you interested in for the 05 legacies? Please provide as much detailed information as possible including manufacturer , links, pictures, pricing if you can find it, etc. I am submitting a proposal to a distributor who can provide the US market with such items. If you know the STi Legacy has parts that you would be interested in, please list as much information as possible since we will be using this thread as a frame of reference. While not all things can be obtained easily, we will aim to provide as many as possible if we can get our distributor on board. Currently we can get the STi lip spoilers.

axis008 Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I'm sure for body kits, I've seen people requesting Hippo Sleek and Gialla. I like the STI lip (front and rear spoiler). Also, I'm diggin' the Tommy Kaira bumper for the new Legacy. Gives it a clean look. I know SUBE doesn't like it though, haha. But hey if we all liked the same thing, it'd be a boring world! -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 For me, I'd be a source for JDM bumpers for one thing. That alone will give me a lot more options as far as aero parts go. Many people (including me) have a strong intrest in the Gialla aero parts, namely the Corsa parts for the B4: [url]http://www.gialla.co.jp/gialla/catalog/corsa/200401legacyb4.html[/url] The wheels from Gialla also look nice: [url]http://www.gialla.co.jp/gialla/catalog/wheel/vulcano/vulcano.html[/url] There has also been a lot of rising intrest in the Hippo Sleek stuff found here: [url]http://www.hipposleek.co.jp/index.html[/url] Anything STi will probably sell well around here. Lots of fanboys! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SC GT Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 STi pink springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 I'm interested in anything that'll fit the Wagon/ Outback. Also, interior enhancements would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Y'know what would also be nice? A kit to retrofit pistons under the hood instead of having an economy car style prop rod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedmonkee Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 We are working on the PROVA type hood struts for the WRX as a cheaper US made alternative. Legacy should be no problem as soon as we get a template for the mount. Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Well damn man- I'm not in Cali, but I'd send pix or whatever you need- I really hate those el cheapo hood prop rods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedmonkee Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Simple answer: Cost. Not everyone wants the struts - or cares - But I think its a nice touch for classy car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drift Monkey Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Does it really cost that much? Most newer vehicles, I've observed, come with these. Even my Toyota Tundra has these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt_ltd Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 (1) JDM bumpers (almost any JDM bumpers look better than the USDM ones) (2) JDM HIDs (not sure if they will work with LHD, also Paul said they are not very bright IIRC) (3) JDM Navi System if you can find the right piece of software for the US.

bemani Posted June 10, 2004 Share Posted June 10, 2004 Cusco stuff. Are our brake booster on the left or right side? Cusco has a front strut tower bar with integrated brake bracket for the Legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady_bunch Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Hey, Kevin, Is there a Subaru part that replaces the stock center console bezel/face with one that allows for after market stereos? I've heard rumors that Subaru would provide one if asked. Any word? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B4_Maniac Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 I wonder why I can't get the JDM rear wiper! Also is the JDM front bumber realy diffrent on the new leg? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady_bunch Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 Also is the JDM front bumber realy diffrent on the new leg? Oh, yeah.... the white one below is the JDM version.  The lower front bumper starts evenly with the headlights and angles back towards the rear of the vehicle. On the USDM, the lower front bumper juts out a bit and then angles back. On the rear bumpers, the JDM version doesn't jut out as much. I think the JDM bumpers give the vehicle a more muscular, aggressive look without looking like the vehicle has been modified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 Guess I'm too biased towards seeing the USDM stuff too much and I like the longer nose and boot. The non-North American spec looks sort of blunt both fore and aft in a way, at least the side view pic like the bottom makes me feel that way.

brady_bunch Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I'm OK with the rear bumper but I would like to get a JDM front bumper or look-a-like aftermarket part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 I think the JDM bumpers make the LEgacy look stubby and cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would like a more of B4 look to the USDM Leg.. I think it looks too much like prior UDM models and not like the redesigned car that it is. I guess it may just be me, I have been craveing a B4 for four years and I guess I have to be happy with the GT as is for time being. Untill I figure out how to get the Hippo Sleek body kit. I wonder how hard it will be to take the front grill out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUBE555 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 B4Maniac, watch the double-posting. ;) As for making it more B4 looking, what do you mean? If you get a sedan, you're getting a B4. B4=sedan in Japan. Not a trim or look, just a body type of the Legacy line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brady_bunch Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 [quote name='B4_Maniac']I wonder how hard it will be to take the front grill out...[/quote] Judging from the instructions I saw (I forget where) for a replacement grille, it's just a matter of a few screws and clips.

SUBE555 Posted June 12, 2004 Share Posted June 12, 2004 That's all it is to replace one on current and past models. Pulled the grilles on my mom's RS and me GT for maintainence, piece of cake, just don't break the very fragile clips. If you're pulling the parts, might want to have an extra set of clips on hand. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
