Still working on it when time permits.

 

Just found these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008B865A2/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_0Fvsub12NX7M6

Once my job allows me back to work (underwent reconstructive surgery on right foot. No, it wasn't Lead-footitis. Torn tendons and ligament repair) I will try these. The go inside behind glass. Maybe also find something for the front cover of the mirror.

I actually purchased a set of those exact ones but decided not to use them; they're yours if you want them.

 

They are harder to install on our cars than what the install video on iJDMToy would suggest, but it can be done. I cracked my 1st set of mirrors trying to remove them from it's holder, so I dropped the idea in favor of the front facing LEDs ([ame=http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005M0CNX0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]Amazon[/ame]). I also have an extra passenger side mirror that I purchased to do a test fitment.

 

 

 

p.s. It was actually just my passenger side mirror that I broke, and it was from a set of aftermarket mirrors that I got here. They use different mirror holders than stock, so I had to order a burco replacement mirror.

Front lip...http://www.BaysonR.com and they are on Ebay

 

Side skirts extensions can sometimes be found on Ebay and I think RavSpec, a forum vendor, has a thread in the vendor section here.

 

Wings, no, but several different spoilers are available both intermittently on Ebay and http://www.japanparts.com

 

Grilles....no one makes anything for 5th gen facelift (2013-2014).

 

Rear spats...try EBay.

 

I think someone has some stuff for sale in the 5th gen classifieds.

2012 grille I used came from eBay. It came chrome and I had it powder coated black. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/11/20/63220d2cae019e35d217399e6cb76d62.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/11/20/b2d61c67e9c3c64bc977c6a3827f8e2d.jpg

David, the shirt looks great, but this is not the appropriate place to post this. This is a "Sticky" thread meant for "exterior modification" information and not unrelated items or discussion. You will get more comments and feedback on this if you post it in this thread http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/did-you-do-your-5th-gen-todayii-vol-2-200439p985.html or make a new thread in the 5th Gen section.

Kind of a dumb question about model years related to exterior mods: Did Japan get the 5th gen facelift for the 2012 models, while the US got it in 2013? I ask because I'm browsing body kits on japanparts.com and they group them into 2009-2011 and 2012-2014. I didn't see any info on the wiki related to this and I wanted to make sure if I end up purchasing and importing kits from here, I'm not getting stuff that won't fit my 2012.

You're opening a whole can of worms here. The rest of the world gets model years 1 year before we do...ie 5th Gen is 2009-2013 for JDM/EDM/AUDM and 2010-2014 USDM.

 

The entire front bumper/hood/grille/fogs and maybe the impact beam are different from USDM to JDM and only interchangeable if you have the entire setup. Fenders and headlights are the same, although the bumper supports that attach to the headlights are different.

I don't know if they get them ahead of us, so much as the rest of the world just isn't cool with selling 2017 models starting in April or May of 2016 like in the US, so they just label them more accurately.

Ah man that's a shame, I didn't realize they were that different. That pooches a few of my future plans. Oh well.

 

On the flip side, I would imagine that I could still use the Corazon lip spoiler right? I can't imagine they would have altered the shape of the trunk lid from model to model. Or would that not fit either? That's the best looking one I've found, and the price would end up about the same as the OEM one, which is what I was considering before. https://www.japanparts.com/parts/detail/42711

Does anyone know if this part would fit on a '13 2.5? I could not find anything on the search except a 4th gen fit issue without the JDM number. Don't want to go through the trouble of ordering and have the same problem.

It says 12-14, but I'm skeptical. It's too bad they don't have these in the US. A friend got the sport grille for the Crosstrek and it looks awesome.

It won't fit because the JDM front end, including the grill, is just slightly different than the USDM Legacy. This makes just about everyone who is aware of what the JDM Legacy looks like very sad.
