[BG5guy]

jdm b4 grill
OEM rear spoiler
OEM bug gaurd
H&R lowering springs

Tint going in probably on monday as is a new deck and speakers, probably will stick with FOCAL speakers since they have been great in my past 2 cars, for deck im going to keep the single din and probably go with either Kenwood or Pioneer. More to come as always

[Dead91silvia]

I was confused by the title for a second when I saw BG5 and 04... haha...
Nice to see another Legacy!

[rocketlegacy]

Yay! You're finally back

[BG5guy]

Lol ya when I first joined I had a 97 lgt wagon with a lotta bg5 mods, and yes I'm back and planning to stay. Forgot how much I liked the legacies . I was cheating with the turbos but finally am back lol

[BG5guy]

First things first, protect the hood

[98legwag]

Won't you need side skirts to make the aero guards work?

[BG5guy]

Going later this week to test fit sedan skirts, not sure if they will work but free if they do

[98legwag]

Ah OK.

[BG5guy]

Got bored after work so decided to paint my rims
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2014/05/BC991C5EEA4F4449AECDBA2F2AC62BDA_zps1s6y-1.jpg (http://s1139.photobucket.com/user/neil_edge/media/04%20legacy/BC991C5E-EA4F-4449-AECD-BA2F2AC62BDA_zps1s6ygmbi.jpg.html)

Turned out good I think

Then my buddy had me test for his BRZ rims
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2014/05/AE0A60A37091425C839A4D57342CE9D2_zpspce7-1.jpg (http://s1139.photobucket.com/user/neil_edge/media/04%20legacy/AE0A60A3-7091-425C-839A-4D57342CE9D2_zpspce7a7h6.jpg.html)

[BG5guy]

Tomorrow she is gettin tint, ac recharged, side skirts, and lowering springs

[98legwag]

I am pretty sure that B4 grille is a Type D and your car is a Type A-C.

[rkrenicki]

Yep, that grill would need a different bumper, hood, and headlights.

Then again, since you have an 04.. Your bumper and grill are already the "JDM D-type" style for a wagon.

[BG5guy]

Ya didn't work lol. Oh well...

[BG5guy]

Tint done
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2014/05/19A68511988642A3B0A7EF4EE4F9FC9E_zpstduv-1.jpg (http://s1139.photobucket.com/user/neil_edge/media/04%20legacy/19A68511-9886-42A3-B0A7-EF4EE4F9FC9E_zpstduvz8gd.jpg.html)

[Yamazaki]

Tint always makes a car look better.

So what are you going to do about the D type grille? I'd be interested in it if you don't want to hold onto it....

[98legwag]

Looks good with the tint and black wheels.

[BG5guy]

Tint always makes a car look better.

So what are you going to do about the D type grille? I'd be interested in it if you don't want to hold onto it....

pm me about this, just sitting in my truk

Lowering springs are ordered, H&R springs 1.5 front 1.3 rear, might have to roll fenders with the BRZ rims since they are bigger and wider then the snowflakes. Also test fit the sedan skirts and they fit, so off to paint with those and the rear spoiler, no eta on them yet.

[BG5guy]

Picked these up from a buddy last night

Tomorrow I will also e installing skirts, aero gaurds, and maybe spoiler

[BG5guy]

We'll today was a wasted day. Side skirts and spoiler were painted the wrong color and could not be installed. Then lowering a springs didn't fit, apparently I need wrx top hats to fit springs made for my car......weird. So, I test fit the aero gaurds I see what they would look like

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2014/05/8599769B7CC44F228CB137650EEAB3FF_zpstth2-1.jpg (http://s1139.photobucket.com/user/neil_edge/media/04%20legacy/8599769B-7CC4-4F22-8CB1-37650EEAB3FF_zpstth27bf2.jpg.html)

Then I uninstalled the hideous trailer hitch and decided to instal some stickers I had made

Hopefully next week my stuff will be ready to instal

[BG5guy]

Installed the rear Aero Gaurds today. Had a prety difficult time getting one side to stick. After hours of removing the old tape, sanding down the surface, getting all the goo off and applying the strongest 3m tape i could find alas the thing would not stick

so, i decided to go ghetto and screw the sucker in.

[Muse]

What is this "Strongest 3M tape I could find" you speak of? I might need to pick some up.

[BG5guy]

It's outdoor 3m and hold up to 10 lbs per 4 inches

[BG5guy]

After 4 hours the spoiler is finally done. Most nerve racking mod I have ever done lol

[98legwag]

It makes the car so much better. I know what you mean though. I was so nervous about installing the spoiler on my BK.

[BG5guy]

Ya, I think it looks real good, worth the near breakdown I had during instal. Glad it's finally over. Took it off the other day to make it permanent. POR-15 around holes then touch up paint, the Right Stuff silicone around holes and on spoiler, rubber washers and 3m tape. Thing is solid and hopefully won't leak lol.

[BG5guy]

Had these on my 97 lgt and loved them so much I decided to put them on this wagon. The are K-Sport Kontrol Pro Coilovers w/ 36 levels of adjustable dampening Should be installed Sunday assuming i dont have to much going on for fathers day

[LeggyxPower]

what coilovers are those?

[Muse]

Have you tried taking the screws out of your rear aero guards? The tape may have just needed time to cure.

[BG5guy]

k-sport 36 way adjustable fully dampening coils . And yes I did and the still popped out, so I put the screw back in and put some touch up on it. Works for me lol

[Lancaster6]

I can't wait to see how it looks with the coilovers.

What brand of 3M tape did you use? I've had very good luck with 3M 4941 VHB tape. Just stick it on, clamp whatever it is you're taping together for 72 hours so it cures (only downside is the wait time) then badda bing badda boom it's stuck on there.

[BG5guy]

Idk, I used some from my work, we use it to mount cable boxes to walls and stuff, has a 10lb rating, but man the guard just pops off, but now that I have the screw in it holds fine, but once I took the screw out POP.......oh well, screw adds flare lol

[BG5guy]

Finally got around to installing my coilovers.

was a fairly simple instal, had a few snags with the brake lines but all in all turned out nicely.

Then I realized what I was looking at. >.<

Loving this

[BG5guy]

So, today is sunday and I always seem to find something to do while my son is sleeping. Decided to fab a radiator shroud. Has 0 effect on performance for me but cosmetically looks awesome. Have done this mod in every subaru I have owned so this one will be no different.

Materials:
Sheet metal ( I used 24 inch long peice, idealy 30 inch and cut to soze, mine is short but works for now)
Skill saw
Measuring tape
Sharpie
Drill w/ bits

Step 1:
measure and draw template on sheet metal ( or make a template using card board, cut accordingly and trace on sheet metal)

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2014/07/20140713_104710_zpsgrf298y_edit_14052779-1.jpg (http://s1139.photobucket.com/user/neil_edge/media/04%20legacy/20140713_104710_zpsgrf298y_edit_1405277961983_zpshpeqcumv.jpg.html)

Step 2:
Make your cuts and trim where needed ( note my measurmemts are where I liked it, and then I trimmed in areas to clean it up)

Step 3:
Measure radiator bracket locations, mark holes and drill depending on size needed ( not pictured)

Step 4:
Test fit shroud on car, remove and retrim in places as desired

Step 5:
Once you have your shroud cut to how you like it, pick a paint color you want and paint away ( sheet metal will rust, recomend treating it with an anti rust agent prior to paint or use rustoleum paint)

So, after a long weekend of doing this for my parents house ( ripped up carpet, mat and did floor)

I decided to yet again use the scraps and make this

[twoheadedboy]

That hatch looks awesome now, always good to put something down to protect the carpet.

[SpeedmanRC]

Amazing progress, with the coilovers do you find you rub the front or rear end on bad driveway entries?

[yaya]

Looks great on the coilovers!

[BG5guy]

I only rub if I forget to to crank the wheel, usually do a good job tho of going slow and /

[BG5guy]

No real updates, ran speaker wire for a sub I dont have yet. Also ran power for a amp I dont have yet, just gotta decide what I want to get. Trying to find a baja xt hood and roof basket. Not really many mods left to do till I get those things off my list lol

[BG5guy]

Basket time

Here is a better pic of the car as she sits now, really diggin the look the basket gives her

OEM lip.....time to paint

[Muse]

Was that a US option, or JDM only?

[BG5guy]

OEM JDM dealer option..... also spent most the day getting these babies put in
https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2014/08/20140831_153845_zpscfk3gwgt-1.jpg (http://s1139.photobucket.com/user/neil_edge/media/04%20legacy/20140831_153845_zpscfk3gwgt.jpg.html)

ran similar speakers and sub in my FXT and loved them, upgraded to 4 chan amp and ran front speakers/tweeters off ot and then bridged the rear speakers (focal) with the sub. OMG sounds so amazing

[yaya]

Is that lip gonna fit on the usdm bumper?

[BG5guy]

Yup, my buddy had it on his and he got a zero sport front lip and I got this one

[STREET-SPEC]

I knew that lip would fit! I was too scared to buy one cause I don't drive the legacy anymore really, so not worth it to not fit.

Now that I know, I may look for another one. I could have gotten it for 140$ damn:(

[BG5guy]

Update.....lip does NOT fit, with a little work I could have made it fit and look nice but did not want to go through the hassle. Not sure if it because its coming drom a sedan and going on wagon ( highly doubt) or of it is for older style bumpers and doesnt fit my SE bumper, idk......just glad I tried to instal it b4 I paid the paint guy lol

[Dead91silvia]

The JDM bumpers are all different then the USDM ones. Yamazakisubaru has all the data on those bumpers as well as a few others.

[Grimmrican]

from my knowledge the bumper on ur wagon in japan is the rev D bumper for the bh. and yes thats a direct fit lip. i was looking at one in yahoo japan.

[soba noodle]

I was right in my mind then, didn't want to say anything as USDM stuff is so much different and confuses me a lot. That lip looks Luke a rev A-C, check my build thread to see what rev D wagon lip looks like.

The closest cousin to the US 2003-2004 bumper would be the JDM D-type Wagon bumper. A lip from one of those would fit the best/least amount of modification.

Wagons and Sedans there have different bumpers, Bumpers from types A to C are different from type D.

[BG5guy]

Ya, oh well didnt really need a lip, woulda looked good but not needed

[BG5guy]

Picked these up, anyone know a good diy for installing

[Muse]

Check Rkrenicki's thread, he did it on a test pair of fenders. Problem is, the JDM fenders had an indent for them that the USDM fenders don't, so they stick out more.

[BG5guy]

Ya I saw how he did it, I mainly just need measurments, like how far from trim line up and how far from door over etc. I want them to be as close to oemnposition as I can get

[Grimmrican]

I though the did have measurements on there?

[rkrenicki]

I did not do any measurements, as I just eyeballed it. Measurements do not really matter, as long as both sides are the same.

[soba noodle]

I can take some measurements for you, let me know (JDM BH5).

[BG5guy]

If u would that would be awesome, I want these as close to factory as possible

[soba noodle]

Done, hopefully it's not too confusing and you can read through it. Let me know if you need any extra pics/measurements.

Thats perfect, making the template right now, thanks

[Grimmrican]

My mind just exploded lol numbers

[BG5guy]

does anyone local ( Portland OR) know of anyplace that would have a baja XT hood? Dealership price is almost 1500 for one unpainted. I dont care the color as long as its in decent condition, scratches chips dont mater but no holes or dents. If you know of someone or someplace selling one PLEASE LMK, this is the last mod i need for my car till next summer

[BG5guy]

the hunt continues, any leads would be awesome

[meepers]

I like everything but the gold paint and wood floor. Color is awesome. I bet the headlamps would look killer with the insert colormatched to the body!

[BG5guy]

Well, gave up on the hood search, so i messed around with mine

[Muse]

Looks good!

[bijon440]

I really like that look. Super clean without the scoop. Nice job.

[DarkPhoenix]

That looks sweet!

[twoheadedboy]

The hood looks good! I feel your pain about finding a scooped hood, I wish Subaru had made them more available to the U.S market for 3rd gens (other than turbo Bajas).

[BG5guy]

Thanks, definetly not fun but way worth it

[OlyOriginal]

I am picking up a hood for my BH on wednesday and need to re paint it. I like what you did what was your process?
Thanks!

[SpeedmanRC]

Surprised that the Baja turbo hood was that much. I cheat cause I work at the dealer and the cost for the hood and scoop trim was around $800 total. I have the invoice around to find the price. It's 10% above cost. You don't have a friend or family that could get the same discount at the dealer? Subaru did ship it real nice and safe.
