subieracer Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Well since snowboard season is here and my legacy is lowered I figured that I needed some skidplates. Turns out Subaru doesn't make a rear skid for the 05+ Legacys. So after some asking around I found this. http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e209/spdracr00/CIMG1875.jpg http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e209/spdracr00/CIMG1878.jpg Should also work for you outback guys too. looks just like the one i used to have on my wrx...

mattg Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 looks nice. not necessary unless you're rallying your car, but neat none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmunk Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 Where are you placing the safety stands - on the rail that is used with the stock jack? Also how are you lifting the car? I have a floor jack and not sure where I can safely lift from. Thanks, Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a floor jack and not sure where I can safely lift from. Thanks, Bob there are two metal brackets right inside the sideskirts that i use as jackpoints for the stands. I jack the car from the rear diff or if you car isnt lowered you can use the rear tow loop base to jack from the rear. now i can use my new skidplate as a jack point as well.

Leonardo Posted November 24, 2007 Share Posted November 24, 2007 I believe the Prodrive unit works on our cars. Primitive is nice nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I just got the front and rear skidplate from Primitive for my birthday from my girlfriend! I have her trained well... Will my 3" GReddy exhaust clear the rear skidplate? Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim1969 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I didn't think Primative made a front plate for the 2005+ Legacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subieracer Posted January 29, 2008 Author Share Posted January 29, 2008 heck yeah we do!!! We're the only company in the USA that offers a rear skid plate for the 05+ JDMChizad - It should clear, but 3" is pretty big. let me know if it doesnt. haha, I remember shipping your stuff out.

Leonardo Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 I believe the Prodrive unit works on our cars. Primitive is nice nonetheless. Looks like I'll be getting a Primitive if it fits with the Greddy and the 5EAT finned diff cover as the Prodrive didn't fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonardo Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Ben, do you know if the rear fits the finned diff cover of the 5EAT? PM me and I'll tell you what I did with a vendor in order to try out the Prodrive one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
