gene4ace Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/22/12929dd75ee136437b65a774fb3f4dc6.jpg What do you guys think??? It's a 2013 gt with a turbo correct??? Looks like they got the jdm front end on theirs???? So many questions, just spotted this about an hour ago. Hopefully they got jdm turn signal mirrors/bumpers/ fa25 turbo engine.

brandon.mol Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Definitely not a JDM 5th gen. Its left hand drive. Mexico gets usdm models, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandon.mol Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Plus thats a 2012 or earlier grill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gen5is Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Thats definitely a jdm or euro facelift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testa422 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 not an "actual" jdm since its left hand drive but that is def the jdm front end on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttnio Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 For sure, we get jdm parts here and the whole world can get them too. Enjoy your sightseeing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legaced Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 In mexico and south america they often get cars they have in asia and europe but not in U.S. or Canada... i know that its the case for VW, some hondas and some other japs too, might be the same with subaru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 This has been discussed many time before guys. Subaru of Peru, Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, Guatemala, etc. all get EDM/JDM spec (minus the right-hand drive) cars. Recent example 2012+ Subaru Legacy DIT, 2015/16 WRX/STI. I wouldn't be surprised to see Levorgs there soon. Subaru of Mexico is a bit strange in that they often advertize EDM/JDM cars in their marketing materials, but sell USDM car... recent example: 2015/2016 WRX/STi.

brandon.mol Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 So if I want a levorg, all it will take is a 10000 mile road trip? I bet that would make Subaru Six star magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perscitus Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Si. At least for a non-USDM post-facelift 2014 LGT or other FA20DIT, potentially with the higher output stock tune. A few years ago someone even imported a Forester tS to Peru, its VIN was listed in the port customs log. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zee199969 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 One of the dealers down here gets a 5th gen gt auto from mexico for service from time to time. He said it has headlight wipers and a few other things I can't think of right now My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrD123 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 In the photos forum in the ice silver metallic thread there is a picture of a '13 GT in Peru - grille looks pretty similar to the USDM 13-14. Looking at the pic here, the wheels look like they are from a 10-11 (brighter silver - could just be the pic, though) so maybe it's a 10 or 11 GT with a facelift?

gene4ace Posted May 23, 2015 Author Share Posted May 23, 2015 Deff not a face lift!!! Saw a second one today, plus on their website they have jdm front end and signal outer turn mirrors, and HIDs with headlamp washers.

brandon.mol Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Id say that between the grill, mirrors, bumper cover curves....that's a 2011 JDM Legacy GT non b4/ts. 2012 and newer got new grill with the straight bars, the bumper cover doesn't have those curves up the sides and the turn signals on the mirrors are different. Does anyone know where these "JDM" LHD Mexican Subaru's are built? Because if they are actually built in Mexico, than there would be no import duty on them because NAFTA....

Zee199969 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The only drawback I'd see is it wouldn't be compatible with the Cobb OTS tunes. My "Build" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out this link; http://www.subaru.com.mx/13legacy_s25gts.html The bumper and grille are pretty different on that car - look at the trailing edge of the foglight (angles forward on the car you saw vs. back for the car on the website), then there is an extra body line that's carrying forward the fender flare - also the grille is more angular looking like the jdm grille. Also - the mirrors don't appear to have the turn signals in them (wheels are different, too, but those are easily swapped). Probably not a JDM car since it's LHD, but could be a JDM front end. The car from Peru looks like the one on the Subaru website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car from Peru looks like the one on the Subaru website. I'm 100% sure this comes with led turn signals built into the mirror, did you check the link I posted? Click on the 2.5i sport and it's as clear as day there. Fine I know it's not a jdm car but it's the looks, bumpers, standard equipment, led mirror turn signals , 5eat, push button start, far exceed what we were offered USDM market. But those bumpers are deff what were offered in jdm land and uk land. I'm going to stop by the dealer and place an order for turn signal mirrors, going to order everything as I'm sure the glass is different as what we have here in USDM.

DrD123 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 did you check the link I posted?I was commenting on the picture in the first post - the one on the link has them, the one in the picture in this thread does not. If you can get the car to stop, the gauge cluster should be the one with the color display in the middle for 2013+ (was always curious if they had a version of the car that had the new gauge cluster and came with a 6spd...)

Rutchard Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Everyone outside of the USA/Canada gets all the cool exterior bits that we don't. The only drawback I'd see is it wouldn't be compatible with the Cobb OTS tunes. a non USDM ECU isn't even going to be compatible with the AccessPort, let alone any of the OTS tunes. Maaaybe one of the Prova units, but I think those are JDM and not ROW (rest of the world) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
