CL21376 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I don't want a get into a public discussion on this.... The reason I did it is bec I simply wanted to run my parking lights with fogs. I can't believe someone hast done a proper DIY on this yet. 2 different methods for the 4th gen cars. I would like the same capability as well.

I would like the same capability as well. I agree. I did this mod to my 08 Legacy 10 mins after I brought it home from the dealership.... 5th gens can not be that complex PS: On a side note, I see that you have a Firehawk. Even though, I never got a chance to own one I have owned a total of 5 4th Gen F-Bodies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though, I never got a chance to own one I have owned a total of 5 4th Gen F-Bodies Yeah, my old Mazda 6s took about 5 minutes. With the dash mounted fog light switch I would think its as simple as getting a always hot wire in place of the switched wire. Obviously I have no idea though. Thanks, couple other f body owners on here. Not exactly refined, but fun as hell to take the t-tops out and bang gears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kostolom81 Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Am I the first one who paint OEM mudflaps here guys? http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p582/kostolom81/mudflaps/2012-06-08180946.jpghttp://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p582/kostolom81/mudflaps/2012-06-08181034.jpghttp://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p582/kostolom81/mudflaps/2012-06-08180858.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Am I the only one with a '95 that is Ice Silver Metallic? Probably. And I am painting my mudflaps ISM too, lol. DIY FTW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyposeur Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Thanks! I am going to repaint the wheels a lighter shade. They came out a bit darker than I was expecting. Needs more tint on the windows too. Yesterday I installed a Whiteline adjustable RSB. I have new KYB GR2s and H&R lowering springs going on next. I also have a EJ22T that I am going to stuff in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just measured stock RSB on 2012 Legacy...was shocked! That thing is only 15.7 mm! What a joke:cool: Putting 19mm OEM RSB from Outback soon. Do you think H&R are better than Eibach Pro kit( 1 inch drop)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 The rear sway is super awesome. The wagon handles almost as good as the SS now especially with the 16" WRX wheels I put on. Before I had the stock 14" wheels. The Whiteline is 22m. The H&Rs also drop you about an inch. I am putting some 'saggy butt' spacers on too. I don't know what is better. I got the H&Rs with only 3k on them for $100 shipped so that's why I went with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTG Posted June 10, 2012 Author Share Posted June 10, 2012 Great looking cars guys..... I love the 95 wagon! Very original I did consider getting the mudflaps painted but then I did not want to deal with upkeeping on the paint due to chips & etc. Let us know how they hold up....

kostolom81 Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Just paint the outside of the mudflap like i did, and keep the inside part black same as the inside well plastic so you dont have to worry about chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyposeur Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Those look great! I need to decide if I am going to repaint my wheels a lighter shade before I paint the flaps. If I stay with the dark color they are now I may stick with black flaps. It seems that if I go with dark wheels I need a few bits of black to tie everything together. I painted my roof rails today with some leftover wheel paint and clear coat. They sparkle pretty good. I also got a new windshield and threw on some black lug nuts. I'll post up a pic when I get the rails on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTG Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 (edited) It was a wheels off detail day today. Legacy got the undercarriage, wheel wells, exhaust and the wheels detailed.... Afterwards car got clayed, paint corrected and a coat of Zaino Z2 was applied. I have also installed a set of painted mudflaps that I got from kostolom81. So far almost a year of owner ship and ~10K miles, she is looking better than day one.... Here are some pics..... (Sorry no before & during pics as the weather was not cooperating at all) The day started like this (big thunder storm) http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/Subaru%202012/IMG_20120713_102735_zps48cfdc1e.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/IMG_20120713_102735.jpg But ended very nicely..... http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/Subaru%202012/IMG_20120713_164812_zps2ff3463b.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/Subaru%202012/IMG_20120713_164528_zps425e8ddc.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/Subaru%202012/IMG_20120713_164459_zpsd752e8ed.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/Subaru%202012/IMG_20120713_164436_zps99a932b0.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/IMG_20120713_164436.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/IMG_20120713_164528.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/IMG_20120713_164555.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/IMG_20120713_164459.jpg Edited June 8, 2015 by TTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kostolom81 Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 looks niceeee!!! did u change your stock RSB yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTG Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 looks niceeee!!! did u change your stock RSB yet? Thank You. I am going to leave the RSB alone. The car is a lease and I really don't need it to handle or perform any better than the way it already is.... I am lucky enough to have another toy in the garage for that kinda stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am lucky enough to have another toy in the garage for that kinda stuff If you think it feels and handles well now, the upgraded RSB makes a night and day improvement. Even for a lease, it is well worth the $90 and 30 minutes required to change it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTG Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 (edited) October marked the 1st year of ownership and she still looks as good as (even better) when we picked her up a year ago. Just got the 3rd oil change done and it has been trouble free 15K miles. Here are some pictures after her winter prep details. No new mods to report at this time. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/IMG_20121107_163009.jpghttp://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/Subaru%202012/IMG_20121107_162703_zps7b3d07fa.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/IMG_20121107_163018.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/IMG_20121107_163033.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/IMG_20121107_163728.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/IMG_20121107_163739.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/IMG_20121107_162636.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/IMG_20121107_162703.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e391/tgunal/IMG_20121107_164212.jpg Edited June 8, 2015 by TTG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
