I want this bumper and scoop!

Recommended Posts

just realize that 1)it's expensive as hell to ship over a bumper from japan, and 2)it won't fit the USDM legacy without major modifications to the front bumper beam.

 

 

moral of the story.. unless your clinically insane (see this thread: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14648) -- just wait until some US aftermarket body kits start showing up.

 

 

as for the hood scoop, that on the other hand should not be a problem. Like PGT said, check with Paul at AVO.

(or just look at his post above mine ;) )

Basically, it bolts *over* the standard hood scoop. The "scoop" part is a completely molded funnel that feeds into the standard scoop opening. Most of the advantages come from the larger initial hole area. It is available (unpainted) in both FRP and Carbon Fiber from K2Gear.

rallispec: while i understand that you may think that what i did as "clinically insane", but understand that many high (OEM) quality body kits that give you the desired look you want are around 1k-1.5k USD installed/painted (price I paid for the set up I made). It is unfortunate that anyone that wants to follow my foot steps would have to pay double or more than what I paid for simply because I got a really good deal for OEM parts.

 

I'd be impressed if anyone could get 2 OEM quality bumpers for 800 USD shipped nowadays...I can't think of any nice kits made stateside that are of good quality for any subarus.

I think the bumper is 79000¥ which roughly translates to about 704$. Basically knock two zeros off to convert the currency. Current exchange rate is 112¥ per US Dollar. It ends up over-estimating by a few percent. But as you say, it'll cost that much more to ship it, plus the bumper beams, trim and attachment bits, Doh.

 

BTW, check out the "Post your dream mods" thread. page 3. here. I posted some new pics there. let me know if you want me to re-post the image links here.

 

Lots of new bits, especially the K2 Reiz kit for the sedan, (the M5 look bumper) as well as a couple new aero parts, and other performance bits. Good stuff.

Would I just have to basically do the JDM Front bumper conversion to make this fit?
