Hi my name is Michael i am 20 from Boston, Ma. I have always love subarus and right now I own a 1995 mitsubishi eclipse GSX. Within a couple months I will be the proud owner of a 1995 Subuaru Legacy L. I am trying to learn as much as I can and have been trying to find more pictures of the 95 Legacy L to see some exterior mods and have had no luck. I looked through the ones here and I like what I see. If anyone can help me with some pics or give me a link I'd appreciate it. Thanks guys.

Why hello. I go to school in Boston, MA full time and am 20/21 :wink: puhahaha

I have a 97 Legacy GT and can probably help you out with alot of the stuff you'd be interested. I've got alot of things done to my car while its on its last legs, maybe some of it will come as an inspiration to you.

Where are you located? I'm in Back Bay on Northeastern campus.

Time for you to move Sammy boy! Welcome new guy, if you are looking for body kits and such you should halt your searches. Most of us that have anything searched for years or just came across things with luck.

That looks nothing like mine lol It's like Worksbell and RalliTEK sells it as their own, and I seen it on another site. That car with the Morettes is BakerGT's old car.

Look in member rides, make comments and ask question. You asking questions in an intro thread won't get answered. 95-99 Legacy can swap parts, find what you want and do the swap, it doesn't get any easier.

I saw a gaudy L wagon today with 5 different color panels and a weirdly lifted from the rest of the car white GT hood.

I hope that wasn't you and would never be you.

I should steal that hood. mine is dented =[

if you go with a USDM GT bumper you will need the GT bumper beam. JDMLegacy and I found that out the hard way when Liz picked up my bumper cover. We assumed it would drop right onto her 95 LSi, but the beam is different.

I'm just gonna throw this out there.

I bought Shane's old GT bumper with odd outback bumper beam, it fit close enough that I didn't go through the hassle of swapping beams.

So...I have a GT bumpercover, white, with GT bumper beam.

flaws are that the mounting pocket for fogs have stripped holes, which isn't that terrible, and the bumper cover was too beat up for me to bear, and since I didn't have the will to paint it myself, it stayed scuffed and chipped and what not. We live close enough together that you could grab it from me for a really reduced price. It's located in Newton at my friends house.

The actual beam is in great condition, and the cover really isn't that bad, I just freaked out and made a deal with shane within a 6 hour period after my brother scuffed my car pulling out. I also have some other goodies you might be interested in, wrx struts and springs with 04STi tophats? eh eh eh? =D
