I'd be willing to donate some money towards a bumper if they will move forward with the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon427 Posted February 11, 2013 Author Share Posted February 11, 2013 I just emailed them the info. Thanks guys. I'll let you know what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12sechatch Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 Subarugenuineparts has it for $180 and they are the online part of a dealership. Which means other dealers can match that price. So yeah, $180 FROM Subaru seems cheap to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grovlet Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Guys do remember that's just the cover... I would imagine it fits slightly different on the car and trying to build a template based off a cover not bolted onto the car could produce a terrible fitting lip.... I'm guessing that they really want a full test car to make the best possible product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copenhagen6123 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I think this is dead and we are going to be forever stuck with the ebay lip for a wrx or fork out the change for a Ravspec or similar item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suds2250 Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Everyone needs to keep emailing them at sales@baysonr.com and asking for a lip to be made. 335HP/360Tq VF-22/1820 clone with Meth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieChik Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 They aren't having a hard time. They flat out aren't trying. I'm sorry....but a brand new bumper can be had for $300......a company that big I'm sure has the money for R&D. If they only knew how much money in return the would get if they just spent that little ol $300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they only knew how much money in return the would get if they just spent that little ol $300 This exactly. A company like Bayson isn't so broke where they need to wait around for a bumper locally to make a mold and get a lip going. They must think it is a niche market and isn't going to have much of a return which is unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famaya26 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Why doesn't someone just make a Lip and sell it? Or is the work and materials required to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon427 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 The issue is that there isn't a big market for this stuff. Think about Ravspec and how long it takes them to get people to leave deposits, develop the product, back and forth with overseas manufacturers, etc. All of that time and material costs money and the Legacy market isn't big by any means. There's just not many people looking to mod their Legacy's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben_08 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I'm assuming there's no new news on this product/project? New to the forum over the summer and would be interested in this product as well. Especially if is holds up in snow as well as some people have eluded to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownBoy Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 http://www.ebay.com/itm/05-07-SUBARU-LEGACY-PU-FRONT-BUMPER-LIP-JDM-BUMPER-ONLY-/130842846747?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ALegacy&vxp=mtr&hash=item1e76d7661b Anyone know if this vendor is on here? It seems like its a JDM lip replica without the design modifications made to fit our USDM bumpers. I wanted to find out how much tweaking would be involved.

TheDon427 Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 I sent them another email tonight. We'll see what they say but I kinda gave up on the project. It's not THAT hard to find a front bumper to test fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12sechatch Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 They don't want our business. That is very clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wpmarky Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 I live down the street from them, and actually did stop by once 2-3 yrs ago to do a test fit for one of their earlier prototypes on my spec.b. The prototype ended up being molded for the JDM body, so it was way too short. I gave them my number to call when they had a new version, and I never got a call. Then RavSpec announced they were building one, so I was less enthused to loan my car to Bayson for a week for test fitting. Fast forward to now: Since RavSpec isn't pulling through, and it sounds like there's enough people here that want the Bayson product, I could swing by and talk to them again in person. It would help if I can have a list of people serious enough about buying one, maybe we should get a list going so that I can show them how much interest there is. That way they have a reason to make it sooner rather than later. It's a bit tough to get there during business hours since my work is 2 hrs away, but I'll see if I can find an excuse to leave work early and make this happen.

car_cursed Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 If it's the same price point or close to the WRX one I am in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobie2.0 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Agreed. Tho I think the problem bayson r sees is that they'd have to design 2 different lips for the lgt community. And seeing as how small a market we are compared to the Impreza platform, it just isn't worth it to them financially. Even if they did produce them, the price would almost certainly not be the same as the wrx one. My guess would be around $150 for one and I'm not sure there'd be a lot of interest at that price.
