one2free Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 i heard someone say that there's an article tht said all the white legacy's get the jdm bumper, does anyone have that??
7stars Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 Yeah, it's true. The white ones also get HID and the McIntosh stereo. I think I'll get me a whitey. :P
agctr Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 I dont think that could, would or should happen although it if does...... choice !
axis008 Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 Haha, that would be nice if the USDM version came with the JDM bumpers.... but that's not the case unfortunately :(. -ben
agctr Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 The USDM bumpers look a lot fatter than the JDM ones, or is it just me maybe?
gtguy Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 [quote name='agctr']The USDM bumpers look a lot fatter than the JDM ones, or is it just me maybe?[/quote] Here, we have a higher degree of driving ineptitude, leading to a great many 5 to 10 mph crashes of the "bonehead" variety. So the USDM (and Canadian) bumpers are designed to accomodate this, with more bumper to compress before anything bad happens to the car. We have an Insurance Institute here that runs cars through 5 and 10 mph barrier tests, and reports the results. If a car fares poorly, it is usually all over the news, which can adversely affect purchasing decisions. One BMW, for example, suffered something like $3K in a 5 mph barrier test. That's madness. On another board, there was much howling and whining about the JDM vs USDM bumpers. Here, there hasn't been as much which is good, because such things are stupid. The bumpers are as they are. Deal with them or not. The Legacy is a handsome car, irrespective of how far the bumpers stick out, dependent upon which market one is purchased in. Kevin
