[hallowpoint]

i use to have the deck in an old jeep. what fogs are those and what size? the spoiler doesnt look bad at all. please take the window banner off

[legacy22]

dont remember what size i baught at walmart for like $35. they look blue in the package if i had to guess they have a 3" diameter. n the banner stayin gotta rep subie somewhere on my car! im going to get a black strip behind it so it looks better!

you need some sl-i decals

[legacy22]

[ESSYMOND]

whoa! they are dark, fits nicely with the white though!

[legacy22]

i know right! surprised cuz my g/f's little sister used my car to take her drivers test to get her licence and they didnt say anything about the taillights or how loud it was. and they are pretty picky here! So i guess that kinda makes my car legal if the instructer allowed it for use lol

[Huffer]

^^ hardly. Driving instructors aren't responsible for vehicle inspections. As long as the vehicle has a valid registration it should be allowed to be used for testing.

[peugoby]

Everything looks great so far! Minus the windshield banner and stickers, those just add unwanted attention.

Keep up the good work though!

[legacy22]

in mn the vehicle generally has to be legal at least thats what i thaught cuz a buddy of mine took a car with a bad tailight bulb n they wouldnt let him do it! i know it aint legal but i like to think it is. thankfully we dont ever get car inspections in mn.

Finally we are supposed to be getting some real snow in the midwest! theres a winter weather warning for tomorrow! Weehee!

[legacy22]

Next mod will be suspension! Bad left rear strut! Any suggstions on what i should do to remove the sqwak in the back and improve handling. I plan on redoing everything! Or whatever i can get parts for!

Do voltage stabilizers really work cuz my lights dim when i hit the brakes? What to do to solve this?

kyb agx or gr2 struts..
whiteline sway bar
cusco/offbrand ebay strut tower bars
eibach or h&r springs

or you can woo everyone with some coilovers mr. money

[legacy22]

Sold the 18's for 750 in my town haha made 250.

[legacy22]

looking forward to getting my GT bumper and putting my fogs in! Painting my hood this weekend It's all going pretty good for working in 30 degree weather.

[ESSYMOND]

better pics of the scoop and spoiler!! +++++++

[legacy22]

workin on it gonna wait till i paint the hood this weekend though ya the cellphone doesnt serve much justice.

looks good.. what method did you use to put the scoop on?

bolts or bondo?

[legacy22]

What i did was cut the hole larger than the bolt pattern cuz there is a little lip on the front which would have made it stick up. and the bolted the scoop to the supports below. i'll take pics of that too on monday when i paint it. so just bolts. wound up using a ceremic tile cutting blade on a 4" grinder haha took forever and a lot of sparks. Also if anyone does this remember to cover your window cuz when the sparks hit it they will fuse into the window. Fortunetly my buddy warned me of that before i messed up the window. lol

[legacy22]

Little teaser pic my hood and front fender are going to be brighter than the rest of the car. Letting the paint dry over night wet sanding in the morning and then spraying alight coat over the top. I will take camera pictures as soon as im finished

[subie/legacy]

you paint your door moldings, if so did you paint them on the car, and what paint did you use?
Liking the mudding pics. scoop looks good

[legacy22]

painted em on the car just taped around em. used rattle can rust-oleum gloss white. scuffed them witb a schotch pad before sprating them. haha went mudding again tonite and would up pulling my buddies full size durango out cuz he got stuck after i went through. but rustoleum matches my stock white better than a mixed can of factoey paint. my hood and right fender afe painted with rustoleum pint of paint you can get at walmart and spray with a gun. really happy with rustoleum just wish it wasnt oil based and was acrylic.

[legacy22]

Couple more pics of GT bumper retrofitted for JDM fogs -spanned between two days it took me little over 8 hours 4 hours for cutting and getting them mounted and another 4 for wiring. Followed the diy for it but the wiring is a little diff. than the diy to make them independant so that you turn them on without the parking lights being on.
Painting it sometime within the next two weeks

[subie/legacy]

coming along nicely. makes me want a GT bumper
did you use your L support beam?

[legacy22]

ya bumper beam is stock along with all the supports just the gt bumper cover is from a gt. kinda a pain to get on especially with the jdm fogs. but i just manhandled it on. really like the gt bumper compared to the l.

[parkcityboyx]

it looks GREAT! i LOVE this conversion!!! did it myself and ill never go back haha

[subie/legacy]

won't using the stock beam cause problems when I come time to put the taller gt/outback grill on?
either way it still looks damn good :smt023

[parkcityboyx]

yes. well see its best to get a GT bumper off a junker or something. because there is an extremely simple way of making the switch. you can just completely swap beams, and leave the bumper cover intact and untouched.

i dont know for sure which legacy22 did it, but my way took me about 5 minutes and was perfect and easy

[legacy22]

Thanks! What kinda problems when you put on the GT Grill? cuz thats what i need next! got my Bumper from XxGTBspecxX.

[legacy22]

Got my a camera so time to be a picture WHORE!!!!!!!! Again. Pics of the interior mods ground control kit and such not. Waiting on struts and strut bars uggghhh!!! Will post pics of the stance after i get the rest of the parts.
