  1. In the garage while the car was getting fiberglass work done. They will be back on soon, after paint
  2. Quarterly Update Things I have acquired/need to do: Rowen Bumper was sent to the shop, bumper was modified to fit USDM body. This makes it 1 of 1 in the US at this very moment... 13 years after the 2010 legacy was introduced. Go figures. Racebred Wheel Spats (need to install) Reclear trunk spoiler & license plate frame (carbon is amazing with sun damange...)
  3. Wow.. been a few years since the S-Craft rear lip was added to car. I had sold it to a fellow fifth gen legacy owner... with better plans for the rear. Update: Aug 18, 2023 Recently just installed a 2008-2014 Subaru WRX/STI Chassis Mount splitter. Had some modifications.. But worked out really well! (Also adding this to my build thread) 1) Depending on the brackets... The radiator support flange needs to be bent. 2) The spacing between chassis mounts are a little wider, so you may need spacers (I estimate a few washers should be ok) 3) The brackets sit about 1-1.5" rearward compared to a WRX/STI. So you may need to refill the holes to push the splitter forward.
  4. That engine clean up is definitely on the list of things I need to do... Recently just installed a 2008-2014 Subaru WRX/STI Chassis Mount splitter. Had some modifications..

  5. After some massaging and painting the parts... it's 95% done! Just need to finalize the tow hook cover. To bridge the gap on the side of the bumper, I added foam so that the VHB can touch the bumper. I have also cut a pair of Crosstrek/GR STI rear reflectors to fit inside the bumper. I added foam & silicone adhesive to glue it in place. How it looks so far:
  6. I've had to replace mine once already, and it cracks within 1-2 years in California weather. I might replace it again, but wrap it with vinyl before installing. If I remember correctly, you might need a tool/screw driver (with painter tape wrapped around it) to release the clips. I did break one of them, so it might be a good idea to have a few spare just in case. Let me see if I can find the PN.
  7. Dang bringing back a thread from 2019. Wonder what happened afterwards.
  8. Per request, I should document what my process was like to get the rear half lip fitted to our USDM bumpers. Backstory: Since the JDM bumper has smaller fender "flares", the bumper design is almost a straight line. However, our bumper has a bulge which causes a gap to occur on the sides as shown below. Everything else fits like a glove (minus the areas I had to trim). What I had to trim: Outside of cutting, the Gap has to be filled. I used painters tape to create a surface to add fiberglass to the lip.
  9. Updated 4/20 Added the custom bumper back onto the car a few weeks ago with a new lip from IKON. Wanted to add some depth to the front instead of the V-Limited baby lip. For the rear, I am working on fiberglassing the S-Craft Rear Half lip so it fits the USDM bumpers. The USDM fenders are wider, thus causing a gap between the lip and the bumper.
  10. I agree, I think you can actually get by with 25mm without rolling fenders (depending how low you are) It's much closer to the fender, without it looking too sunk. This was slightly lowered on stock suspension with Eibach Springs. No change to fenders
  11. Thanks! The grille mesh is taken from a Q50 Infinity; the bezel is a standard OEM style Grille. YES YES YES!!! So glad you got this done!
  12. Damn, small changes really waken these motors. Definitely something to do in the future for me!
