I Donated broknindarkagain Posted May 12, 2012 I Donated Share Posted May 12, 2012 What are you wanting to do? "Parts" could mean anything. Autozone sells parts. Or are you talking performance....suspension....OEM....etc? -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

I Donated broknindarkagain Posted May 15, 2012 I Donated Share Posted May 15, 2012 Doors...you have no options there. Fenders...no options Hood...VIS makes a carbon fiber hood...or you can use a GT/Outback hood that has the scoop. Bumpers....any 95-99 Legacy/Outback bumpers will work (if you use the right beam behind it). You can upgrade to a GT or Outback bumper. As well, there are some JDM bumpers floating around. WRX and STI seats seem to be a popular upgrade and bolt right in. I've had both. 02-03 WRX seats are my favorite. STI seats are cool looking, but they hurt my back. -broknindarkagain My Current Project - Click Here COME AND TAKE IT "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."

gergeek Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 If you want to save money, just go to a salvage yard and find rust free parts that are the same color as your car. LGT stuff is interchangeable, I replaced my door for $60, just had to rewire it and install the lock which was tricky. I would try patching the rear fender wells if you have that common rust spot, that always goes on our cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gergeek Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 In order to get all those parts off the "Factory Subaru Manual" comes in handy to show you where all those bolts are on our car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
