Official jdm conversion/aftermarket body thread

Yeah. I also installed the facelift wagon taillights, as well as the facelift rear garnish piece with that led fog light. It's beautiful. But my partially melted usdm outback bumper (due to the stromung exhaust tips) is super ugly!

Damn I also need the led fogs and the mid Spoiler. Eventually everything will come together.

You'll also need the JDM mudguards to fit right.

mmh interesting. Good to know. Although I won't have to do that since I have the Rally Armor ones.

Finally new wheels and everything put together! Took me two months on same wheels to decide between grey and gold...

Awesome!

Wow that looks great! Don't see that sports bumper often!

Yeah, I was pretty excited to get it, and had the bodyshop delete the front bumper recess and brackets since PA doesn't require a front plate.

Installation sucks. Parts hoarding is where it's at.

 

Tell me about it. I have alot of jdm and regular performance parts for a legacy that I dont own just stored in my garage.

Hey Everyone,

 

I have been looking to source some JDM bumpers, but I have been having some difficulty finding the right inventory. I have google searched and looked through these forums but haven't found any vendors that are selling what I am looking for.

 

I really would like the Spec-B front bumper with just a regular JDM rear bumper for my 05 wagon. Is there any vendor that can reliably track these things down? Or do I just have to keep searching and be patient?

 

Thanks for any help! Excited to cut down these overhangs!

eBay had a couple rear bumpers for wagon a while back.

HKC Speed is probably your best bet. But there's not a whole lot of vendors that sell the stuff it's a few small importers that then put stuff up for sale or it's people that have had the bumpers and then sell them for something different

Or hit the various ebay sites (or the like) from Europe for instance and see what they have. Some of the sellers ship internationally. That's how I got a used rear bumper (from the UK).

Awesome! Thanks for all the recommendations. I'll look through ebay and I put out a request to HKC Speed, hopefully they can get back to me with good news.

Pretty cheap for anyone wanting to do a RHD Conversion

I don't think any of the JDM front ends can fit a FMIC right? Where are you guys ordering this stuff from?

Not really. I believe the spec b bumper need a little trimming and it will fit. Other than that, if you go aftermarket like the burnup bumper or one of the others, fmic will fit to a degree. For new stuff checkout japanparts, for used you have ebay , our forum importers, or yahoo auctions ( this can get expensive)

Late to the party but here is today's hoard from my local JDM importer. Got a complete nose cut and removed everything that I would be using: Spec B bumper, upper and lower bumper brackets, fogs, horn, headlights, radiator (spare). Since it is a nose cut, I get all the electrical connectors to rewire the lights.

So upon inspecting my JDM Spec B nose cut (got it dirt cheap), I noticed that the fender liners are the same as the GT except that there is an added extension riveted to it to cover the slightly wider/longer bumper underside. PN 59120AG120 & 59120AG130.

 

Can your friend get 'dirt cheap' nose cut for 2008+ subaru outback ? Would have to be a diesel one so I can get a hood with a hood scoop.

There was one Rev A-C Outback, not what you are looking for

Dang it! I've actually seen these A-C on ebay too. But I don't want these. I want the newer design. There are actually a few available, but none of them offer the hood that I need .

The eBay Clips are a bargain for what you get.

 

Just buy one of those and then find a GT hood from a junk yard.

Actually, you can use your current XT Hood
