I used to be on NASIOC with this, mother nature took her away from me R.I.P

I have very big plans for the GT, can't wait. Getting her this weekend! Well I have a lot of inspiration from here, thats for sure!

Alright, you will see more of me. Thank you all!

Looks like you already have some experience with boost...and suspension and lights... ;)

[blackgtbeauty]

zomg jdm gda hids!

I heart those.

Well, not really boost, I got the DSM thinking I could mess with it, but it was way too much for me to handle. I am very new to the "turbo AWD" world. The DSM I bought with a ton of mods on it like FMIC, turboback exhaust, AFC controller, boost controller, and a few other things. But, I'm selling it this weekend because I kinda wanna start over and with what I want done. Oh well, it was a very fast car, it would've took out my WRX anytime. On to the GT and hopefully have a WRX conversion on it soon. I'll definitely keep everyone posted.

I know, I loved that car! Flood water got into it and ruined everything! Should have keep the car even with a salvaged title, could've been my project or something.

[ryu_haneda]

Best wishes for your project. If I don't pitch my car once I pay it off, I could try dabbling with stuff like building up my NA motor (I hear you can do some decent stuff with it to make power). I don't want to blow a whole bunch more money on a turbo motor on mine, but I hear turbo motor swaps are getting more and more common.

[Lilripstr]

Yea, I mean when I think about it, my legacy should last me til at least 200k miles, it has 150k right now and i got it for $3600. And when the time comes, I will be gettin a 02 - 03 WRX motor in there. I hear ECS are pretty good and they have decent pricing (about $5000 - $6000 for a wrx motor swap) so i figure its better than buying a new car. Well thanks man!

I <3 your Talon!

Nice BD. Good Luck with all your plans

Just got these on over the weekend. It was actually very simple, thanks to warrior's DIY thread :grin: . Hopefully I would be able to put on the HIDs I've order from Reason. Thanks again Reason! :grin:

[WinterKnoll]

Lookin good

[Lilripstr]

Just got these on today! Thanks again Shane!!

[Plays_with_Toys]

Nice! And you even bought the blacked out ones that were up on the bay.

[Reason]

sweet, I need to get some for myself soon.

[Lilripstr]

Thanks guys! The only thing I need to do is aim the driver side a little. It seems that the light on that side is a little lower than the other. Any tips on how to aim would be greatly appreciated. And thanks again everyone. A lot more plans ahead! :grin:

[d1giPhux]

+1 on getting some... I'm just worried about the legality of these since I dont know much about the proper cutoff. Just dont want to be blinding people. What temp bulbs did you get?

I got the 6000k ones. Well if you are ever in front of the newer Maximas, they really blind you and they come equipped with them. So I don't think a little aftermarket HIDs would hurt anyone :twisted:. Well, I wouldn't want to cause any accidents either *knock on wood* :grin:

[Lilripstr]

Just for the hell of it. I got these for $25 :grin:

[Lilripstr]

Just got this on today! But there's a big gap at the bottom of the grill. Don't know why? Denis said it would fit. I don't know, it seems outta place to me. Maybe I'll put it up for sale.

It's meant for the pre-Kouki (facelift) BD/BGs. The grill was shorter on the 95-96. Did you get this from Japan?

[WinterKnoll]

You got a shorty grill for (95-96 I think?) Legacy. 97-99 had the taller style grill.

[xXGTBspecXx]

it doesnt fit cause it's a L /brighton grill. the gt grill is taller to fill the GT bumper. put that side by side with the GT grill and youll see what im talking about. still looks damn good.

Ive got the same grill on my 98 "L". I was almost certain it was due to the face lift. All Leggies got the longer grill in 98

[Lilripstr]

Oh..ok I see now. Damn! I was hoping it would be a perfect fit. Oh well, what do u guys think I should do, sell it or just keep it? I kinda like the way it looks but I want that gap filled with something, maybe a peice of black plastic or something.

[Kansei]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA LIGHT BAR!!!!

p.s.: dont listen to me. I'm crazy! :D

[addiction102]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA LIGHT BAR!!!!

EPIC.

Black or Silver plastic would be cool, i would keep that grill it looks dope.

[scotty_frank]

sell it....

[WinterKnoll]

Depends on how much it bothers you. Looks fine to me, but I guess I could see how some people would be bothered by it.

[Lilripstr]

Thanks for the feedback guys! I had it for about a week now and it's kinda growing on me, lol!! I actually like the way it looks now. Not selling it (sorry scotty_frank). Yea, I might just put a piece of black plastic type thing, but it's barely noticeable. I am thinking about getting my car painted black though. Well, lets see how things go in the near future. :grin:

[Lilripstr]

My car is for sale now!

[WinterKnoll]

Out of curiouscity, do those roof rack clips go under the black trim around the door or do they go over it, as in between the black trim and the window glass.

[Lilripstr]

Over it between the black trim and glass.

[henryq89]

dude! so far so good...got any pics of the cutoff's on the HID at nite and daii?? thanlss! :grin:

[Black Sunshine]

So, if you are selling this car now, would you consider selling any of the parts you've showed off in this thread? Namely, the lights and the grill. My BK needs a face-lift.
