what do you guys think

would it be difficult to remove the foglight stickers?

Looks like the foglights themselves were painted..what a waste of JDM projectors. I think maybe you'll be able to fix them by sanding them down, but who knows, maybe they were painted over for a reason.

Sad, not even real STi decals. But thats a good price for the bumper and the fogs.

I got a kouki bumper shipped from J-Hot. Add $175 for the shipping charges. I would wait and find one with legit fogs.

i pulled the trigger on this one even if the fogs arnt up to snuff it comes with the bumper beam so no modification needed if i have to replace the fogs. down the road and i'd already have them wired in and ready to go.

WELL
got the bumper :D on friday, Fedex frieght (semi with a short trailer)
dropped it off,
the bumper beam is bent in the middle about 1" out of the normal curve.
the plastic bumper needs a lot of tlc ( i knew this )
and the fogs OMG
i peeled the "STi" stickers off and WOW the lenses are SO clear. pics to come
later
i managed to kill the light bulbs in the switch with some incorrectly applied 12V power, think they'll be the same bulbs sizes as a USDM switch?

you will love it :grin: it definately looks a ton better than the stock US bumpers and the fog lights are awesome. i just wish mine were hooked up......

its a really easy install though you need to take off your grille and headlights to do it, and i recommend having a friend help you with sliding it into place, it makes it alot easier.

i also got my bumper through Jhot and i have to say they do a great job, mine arrived on a pallet!

sorry this is sort of off topic, but i was wondering if there are bumper beam issues when switching from say an outback bumper to a gt bumper with the 1995-1999 legacy's.?
