00legacy's 00 Legacy (updated 8/13/2010)

[00legacy]

Once you get the gold rims it will look rejuvinated complety...gold on the green will be sick since the stance of your car is perfect....and afterwards then decide on the flat white...once saw a flat rootbeer type color with gold rimslooked pretty unique

OOOOOOOO, I like your style, flat rootbeer color sounds awesome.

Well, the Tommy Kaira Pro R's that I wanted were not the right size, had bubbles in the paint and the labels were peeling off, and the Rota Tokyo replica's aren't made anymore, along with the Zerosports lip So I had to make a few changes! Worked for the best, and saved a bit more money out of it

17x8, +38mm


New lip, more understated, but does the job


The HKS Hipermax LS+ suspension went in like butta! Always amazed at how well HKS products work and perform. Also picked up some other JDM goodies!

That's the lip that I would like to get, can't wait to see pictures of your car once you got it all installed. Keep up the great progress!!!

Will do, I stripped off the 3M DiNoc Carbon Fiber stuff as it started to peel up and wouldn't stick around the corners anymore. So, I'm currently on my 3rd coat of primer, then going to do 3 coats of paint and 3 coats of clear. So far, it looks great! Got the wheels on today, hopefully will get the lip on next week and do a wash and wax once the weather clears. Going to do some shots of the interior too. I always love working on the Legacy

[STIdarkside]

Can't wait to see the pics...

What model is this lip exactly? Thanks

Also, I noticed that the lower door molding on your car is painted, do you know how it was removed and was it difficult? Thanks

[00legacy]

It will fit the newer 03-04 bumpers with very little modification (if you look closely at the newer model Legacy's and the 03-04 model bumper, you'll see that they follow essentially the same lines). The lower door moldings I had done at a body shop, the car came with some front end damage so I replaced the two front fenders and front bumper and had the moldings done at the same time.

I soooooo need to go widebody on this car, these narrow ass fenders are killing me!!!

[STIdarkside]

Widebody... Now you really got my attention...

Quick question, are the rear spats a direct bolt on or was there some force used to get the holes to line up? Thanks for the info on the lip and can't wait to see pictures of it on the car... Thanks

most if not all JDM Legacies have a red hazard switch. ppl say it is s401 to get the price jackedup.

[STIdarkside]

Are those rear spats a direct bolt-on, I'm going to be buying a full set here soon and was just curious if they had to be modified in any way or if they were direct bolt ons... Thanks

[Legacy89]

Where did you get those Mine's Parts? Ebay?

[00legacy]

They were full bolt on, holes lined up on the stock bumper no problem

Where did you get those Mine's Parts? Ebay?

I got them from a dealer on Ebay yes, but the parts were ultimately shipped from a seller in Hong Kong. You can also check yahoo Japan auctions as I buy stuff there all the time (its where I got the HKS coilovers and aluminum control arms).

[00legacy]

So I finished painting the interior and it turned out waaaaaay better than expected, with the matte clear coat I used, it has more of a "stock" look than a "modified" look. Which is more of what I was going for in the end. Just wish I was able to install my Defi gauges and double DIN system. Having 2 DIN pockets and a single DIN stereo looks weird.

I wasn't able to take pics of the finished interior or the exterior after the wax, had too much to get done before I flew out for work. But the wheels look perfect....just need some brembo's under them Pics will have to wait a month now

Were any changes made to your bumper when you switched to the 03-04 bumper???

[LIMITED]

Hey Nice lip!
Any info on that?
That looks sweet, and I need one.

Very anxious to see what the spec b lip looks like on the car, please put pics up when you get the opportunity, thanks

[01 gt]

any interior pics?

[00legacy]

Sorry, got everything finished and then had to fly out for work quite some time ago and I didn't get to take any pics. I love love love the interior now, I'll be driving it out to California in early November hopefully. One of the HKS dampers was leaking, so I sent it into HKS USA for an overhaul....which is pretty much the reason why I went with the HKS suspension instead of keeping with the Silkroad coilovers, I can have the dampers re-valved and repaired stateside

My thoughts right now are to have the car either refinished or repainted as I had put a good coat of wax on the car before I left and it didn't really help it out that much. At the same time or beforehand I will have those annoying fenders professionally rolled and pulled so I can get some better meat on those rims. Being that I will be moving to the L.A. area there will be a better ability to both maintain the car and further modify it to my specifications. Looking forward to the future with this car

[STIdarkside]

Do you have a picture of the Spec B lip on the car??? Really want to see how it turned out, thanks.

[Matty2Hotty]

If he doesn't get any pictures soon i might beat him... I ordered mine on ebay a couple days ago having no idea someone else already attempted this Lip. This front lip i sware fits on anything it seams like, 00 RS, 02-03 bugeye(with slight mod trimming), made for the 04-05, fits the 06-07,... and am sure other vehicles. Mines going on a Outback Bumper so we will see how it looks.

I believe this lip that 00legacy is using is different from what you are getting, his is for the JDM Legacy (05-07) bumper... But then again it could all be the same haha. I hope he gets some pictures of it, but look forward to seeing yours as well. Thanks

Yeah, sorry, it'll be a month before I get pictures of the car out. I'm out for work in California while the car is in Virginia, sucks because I want to drive it and work on it so bad. Its a great little hobby car

I was actually thinking the other day of picking up a BG Legacy sedan, I always liked the look of those, plus suspension components are more swappable between the Impreza and that year of Legacy. We'll see though, I'm having plenty of fun with this one Legacy so far.

I picked up a set of those TR's for my STi, they're great wheels. Let me know next time you're back out here, I'll buy you lunch, man. Been a while!

['Buru in the Burgh]

Where did you get the hazard light button from?

[STIdarkside]

Any new progress on the car, did you get it to Cali yet??? I love looking at this thread and I'm dying to see some new pics with all the new parts on, especially the lip... Keep up the great work.
