kongzilla Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 While browsing through threads. It got me thinking that the outback owners may not be able to replace their bumpers to others. The regular GT has a flat smooth end while the outback has a flare to meet up with the fender flares. Would the flat smooth end look funny on an outback? There are no real lip kits out there for the outback and the I love the look of the hippo sleek but feel that it would not line up correctly with the outback body lines.

scoobyscoodle Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 AFAIK OB people are SOL with aftermarket body stuff. Aside from JDM OB bumpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongzilla Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 I sort of figured that one out. Might have to just make some custom lips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutbackXT05 Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I know Ive seen at least 1 aftermarket front bumper for an outback somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongzilla Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 So far this is the only one I can find on the internet. made by Corazon and is $1100+ per piece. Not so sure if I want to spend $2k on 2 bumpers. http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/kongzilla/scenerio_cars/corazonobfront.jpg http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b260/kongzilla/scenerio_cars/corazonobrear.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jazzymt Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 It's hard to tell from pictures, but the OB/LGT grills are also different. I'm not sure if the hood/bumper meet exactly the same, but if I put my old 05 OBXT grille on my 05 LGT (I was just looking at it last night w/my wife), there are noticeable gaps on the sides. That probably also means a custom grill if you do find a suitable LGT bumper and do the bodywork to add the wheel arch flares. Anyway - I think Blitzen also offered an OB bumper, but I could be wrong. Certainly - I don't think any of them are worth the expense - you'd be better served spending the cash on performance upgrades that make you smile - that's what I did anyway.

The wife was just asking me to swap grills. That Corazon Subaru Cayenne XT is hawtness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongzilla Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 I've seen other Outback owners put on the STI lip. Can anyone show me closer details of what this actually look like on an Outback? I'm sure there would be a lot of gap in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atchipmunk Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 some more. http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu350/Leoimpreza/diafora/p418.jpg http://i662.photobucket.com/albums/uu350/Leoimpreza/diafora/p219.jpg Hmm....anyone know more about this car? Not really digging the Porsche-like front end & rear bumper vents (or the excessive amount of vents in general), but the flared fenders look good. Based on the door trim molding it looks to be a Legacy Wagon versus an Outback, but i'm interested to know how they achieved the molded flared fenders...especially in the rear. I just really wish they hadn't tried to copy the Porsche look. IMHO, it just looks lame when cars are made to emulate the styles of other cars (Eg: K2Gear and their M5-like bumpers, Corazon and their Audi-like bumpers, and this obviously Porsche-like bumper treatment). But I digress... So, how about it? Anyone have any more info about this car? Inquiring minds want to know... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sublimejoe Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I've seen other Outback owners put on the STI lip. Can anyone show me closer details of what this actually look like on an Outback? I'm sure there would be a lot of gap in the middle. It can be done and a ton of people do it. I thought about doing it on my Outback but it doesn't look perfect and I'm on the "do it right or don't do it at all" boat. This thread is regarding the Legacy but people put it on the Outback too: http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/warning-06-wrx-lip-05-lgt-inside-132871.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famaya26 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Does anyone know if the Outback Bumper would look good on a 05 Sedan? I really like the Outback Front bumper over the LGT sedan one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublimejoe Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 It would look just like an Outback but you would have to do the fenders too. For the amount of money it would cost to do it right you could just buy an Outback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kongzilla Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 Purchased a ebay s204 WRX lip for the outback. http://www.carid.com/images/spec-d/body-kits/lbf-wrx06s204-pu.jpg It came with self tap screws. Line up the center and tap in the lip. Trim the edges to be flush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
