Diggin' the car! i like the HID lights and yellow fogs. The jdm tails makes these cars look SO much better too.
I think we have the same muffler!
Did you install the HID headlights yourself? if you did how hard/easy was it?

[ESSYMOND]

yeah, i thought the JDM tails matched quite well with the silver leggy.

i actually installed the HID's at home with my buddy, he was a bit more experienced but it was quite simple because we followed a guide we found online, might've actually been in this forum dont remember. it didnt take too long so if you were going to install them, give it a try!

<3 HID's!!

[2.5GT]

So clean! The HIDs looks mean on that car :wink:

[99gtlimited]

wow looks just like my car! very nice! what % are your tints

[gibbons98legacygt]

Nice thos hids or bulbs

[dplacencia]

Love the silver. :grin: Those look like 8k hids?

[gibbons98legacygt]

Yea they do

[ESSYMOND]

UPDATE: Debadged the AWD badge, installed a custom grille with the RS sign infront rather than the back!

Yes these are 8k HID's too!

RS badge? does someone have Impreza envy?

Haha! I put the RS badge on the front grille cus i wanted to be different and becuse my grille looked plain... Though the JDM BD5's have the RS badge on my original AWD badge, so its fair enough!

I saw a ton of them while i was in Hong Kong this summer, they do have their own legacy forums too. Should take a look at their pictures, their Legacy's are AMAZINGGGG! (www.legacy-hk.com (http://www.legacy-hk.com) << something like that google ftw)

[Airgne]

looking goos. please make your pics in first post smaller please.

[Lone_legacy]

Hey man, car is looking good. Got any future mods planned?

[ESSYMOND]

Just got a car wash, the pics were taken off my Sony Ericsson P1i

Is that the Canadian Tire at McCowan & Sheppard?

[ESSYMOND]

Haha, yes it is. I live right around there, its the gas station I go to all the time. Canadian Tire GasAdvantage!

[WESTcoast]

damnn your right about the jdm tails they look sooooooooooo goooooooooodddd!!!!!!!! Yess we have the same limited gold and silver rims!! Im acually thinking about painting mine but keeping the silver lip so it would be gold flakes witha chrome lip! When I bought the car it had one rim that is the same but different ill post it up on my thread becasue im thinink of changing all of them to that!

[lord flashheart]

https://sl-i.net/FORUM/images/imported/2009/10/IMG_2538-1.jpg

man i love the way that grill looks. awesome car dude

[ESSYMOND]

Still working on getting rims, been so busy lately ah!!

Good thing is that my interior hvac and gauge lights came in (BLUE)!! Wood trim going to be gone with it too!! Excited!

[ESSYMOND]

Car is very banged up dirty and a bit of rust, but I'll be working on that this whole summer to clean it up. Wheels didn't turn out like BBS gold but I still really like them.

[Lone_legacy]

Looking sharp dude!

[iampetro]

mmm butterscotch wheels

[gibbons98legacygt]

Love the car. But i dont think i will ever be able to like thos grills

[httrdd]

Seriously dude? I am loving that grill. Maybe go get one myself!

[ouch1011]

The grill kind of looks like it came off of an 03 Sentra spec v but its not bad. Gives the car a different look I suppose.

Looks good overall although I'm not big on gold wheels on light colors (aside from white).

[ESSYMOND]

Just some last pics with this grille before I put on yellow tint for the fogs and my old L7 grille

how much for the grill?

[ESSYMOND]

Picked up a set of UEL headers awhile ago from speedyracer and also got a new set of HIDs. Awaiting the projector headlights...

Headers sound amazingggggggggggggggggggggggggg!

For anyone who is planning on getting these headers, make sure you get new gaskets. The gaskets they provide you are flimsy and rust easily. Mine came partially rusted already.

[DarkPhoenix]

Nice. Those are the same headers that I got. The bolts they give you don't fit the head. Fortunately, my nuts and studs came out with no problem.

[BG5guy]

like the L7 a lot better then the other one. IMHO this and the RFRB grills are the only ones that belong on GT's

[ESSYMOND]

Nice. Those are the same headers that I got. The bolts they give you don't fit the head. Fortunately, my nuts and studs came out with no problem.

One of my bolts cracked in half which led me to the reason for getting these new headers. It was a PITA to get it out, alot of my other bolts were shitty too so I had to look for bolts resembling them

I like the L7 or the ebay hipposleeks, i actually dont prefer the rfrb ones as much :P

[ESSYMOND]

Magnaflow muffler came in... Got it cheappp
