So i have the oppertunity to get a mint Jdm lgt bumper and fogs for $150, and i nkow thats a really good deal, but im not sure if anyone has ever put a jdm bumper on an outback? i was thinking about picking it up and painting it the bottom 2-tone color of the outback... kinda like what obs' do with the rs bumpers ( see picture below)

what do you guys think about doing this on a legacy outback?
this is what the jdm bumper looks like for reference... (picture stolen from grafton)

^^I think it would look better if you took the plastic covers off your JDM headlights.
either way I'm a of the jdm front.

edit: to the O.P get the legacy jdm bumper. good deal.

well its an outback and its already 2 tone, so i was gonna paint the bumper the bottom tan color to match the bottom half... kinda like what the obs i posted did with the 2.5rs bumper... only the legacy version i guess :smile:

and unless the bumper has like a big scrape or dent or something i am definitely snagging it :grin:
