looks good man. I would like to meet up with you someday to check out those projector lights and see how that STI suspension looks. BTW not sure if you car but there is a junk yard off of cermak and pulaski that has a 96 Outback green in color.

[Chicago96GT]

If its got a hood scoop, IM THERE. Im going to go check out a few places hopefully this saturday bcuz i can use my moms jeep to get a hood and its one of my only days off. Yeah just hit me up some time im in Evanston if you know where that is. -Nick

[AkumaMax]

yea totally. I have a few friends that live in that area. All I have to say is mmmmm... Buffalo Joe's! Also that Outback I told you about I think it does have a hood scoop. It's pretty much an intact car. Minus the stuff I took(rear wiper motor, Entire rear carpet, and drivers window switch. I'm not sure if the hood is usable because I think that was the one that had front end damage. It wasn't much but did notice the hood.

[Chicago96GT]

HAHAHA So DAMN funny, before I even looked at this I JUST placed an order for Pick-Up. Ive been wanting wings all day.

Grill Came on SUNDAY! Dont know how but shit its here.
Body seems a little messed up mainly cuz my hood is bent.

Suspension and Tails should be here in a few day. Will post more pics then.

[AkumaMax]

damn you I want those FOGS!!!

[Chicago96GT]

Ok so I installed the Tails today, well half of them, I skipped the middle part considering my ass of a manager made me stay late, even though I come in at 7am. So Im just gonna do it tomorrow. But the middle part on the USDM is different, where the white lights are they curve in towards the license plate on the USDM and go straight on the JDM. I mean it will fit, but does it look weird? Are all the JDM lights like this? Thanks -Nick

[Huffer]

The USDM trunks themselves are shaped differently.

[Chicago96GT]

OK yeah thats what I kinda figured, but does it still look good? I guess I will find out later today. Thanks though -Nick

[AkumaMax]

how is the light output on the projectors compared to the stock lights?

[Chicago96GT]

Well compared to mine its Amazing. Mine were pretty damn hazy though so it nice. Also I installed the middle tail garnish and I thought the white lights would be longer and just cover the curved area, but it doesn't. Personally I think the USDM one looks better it just doesn't say Legacy. So maybe ill try and search for a JDM trunk. IDK thats just my opinion though. -Nick

Your car is looking nice!

The trunk will cost you around 350ish-400ish shipped to your house.

You thinking of selling the center garnish? If so PM me

Nice. Yea I'm looking into those projectors for my first real mod to the car since my passengers side is all messed up anyway. I was also going to get a Plug and Play HID kit for the projectors as well. My buddy sells them for about $200 they are pretty nice and his service is crazy. my other buddy got a pair and the ballast failed on him. Called the guy up and he was at his car withing the hour.

[Chicago96GT]

Thanks 4n70n1n0, Ill post new pics with everything as soon as I get batteries for my camera. Also hopefully this Saturday I will have my suspension on. Does anyone know if the 04 STI suspension will lower my car at all? Thanks -Nick
