Just Ordered a Front Grille for my car

I've just ordered a Corazon JDM front grille for my car from japanparts.com. Estimated delivery is 10-15 days.

Next up will be the rear diffuser, I am still torn between the Tommykaira and Gialla rear diffuser.

Yes we know these parts are available to you and not to us USDM folks...stop rubbing it in.

Anyone can order from Japanparts.com, you just pay out the ass for freight, even shipping by boat.

The parts will not fit our USDMs w/out dropping huge $$$ & fab, so I consider them not available to us.

Well, I was happy for about 5 seconds

I knew the JDM front grille definitely won't fit the USDM but I'm sure the JDM rear diffuser will fit..

That's one of the reason why I've bought the front grille, the shipping cost seems to have been significantly reduced from it used to be from japanparts.com. They have only charge me $55 for the shipping to China. It used to be more than $100 when I've ordered smaller items before.

I saw another link which has pretty good price. Does anyone ordered from this before?

JDM rear bumpers should be a few inches shorter than USDM due to regulations, so I don't think they will fit. But if anyone wants to buy a diffuser and try it on, I'm sure no one will stop you.

No fair!!!!!

Blklgt05,

I was just a little curious, hence I've decided to compare the overall dimensions of the USDM and JDM Subaru Legacy 2010.

For JDM (I got the specification from here - http://www.motorimage.net/HK/showroo...ecifications):

Overall length is listed as 4730mm or about 186.22 inches
Overall wheelbase is listed as 2750mm or about 108.26 inches

For USDM (I got the dimensions from http://buyersguide.caranddriver.com/...specs#features and http://www.cars101.com/subaru/legacy...tml#dimensions ):

Overall length is listed as 186.4 inches
Overall wheelbase is listed as 108.3 inches

For the overall length, the difference is merely 0.18 inch (0.4 - 0.22) or that's about 4.57mm

For the overall wheelbase, the difference is even smaller 0.04 inch or about 1.016 mm

After checking their dimensions, I think there's not much difference when we compared the overall length of the car. If the USDM front and rear bumpers are really longer, how much longer can we increase in length? assuming the increase is equal at both ends, if we divide 4.57mm by 2, - then the increase is only 2.28mm at both bumpers. 2 or 3mm seems too small to consider an increase. If the increase in length is only at the front bumper, then the rear bump should have the same length.

So it seems the JDM rear bumper will fit a USDM without issue, not unless of course the bumper holes, screws, bolts and clips are totally different.

And possibly the rebar and crash foam if there is any behind there

My front grille and zero sports cabin carbon air filter just arrived today. I had to claim it from the post office, because they want to open the box to see it and eventually tax me. Luckily they allowed me to bring it back without paying anything after telling them I will bring back to my home country. :-)

Unfortunately I forgot to bring my camera and didn't took some pictures and immediately send it to the shop for painting and will get it installed on Saturday. Below is the pictures of my cabin air filter and corazon emblem for my front grille:

I've just installed my new front grille today. I loved the new look of my car now!

Awesome upgrade! Looks good

Thanks man.
