2011 Legacy GT: Custom rear bumper project

**Deadrick20** · #1: 08-17-2013, 06:38 PM

So after debating on whether to spend money on a rear bumper add on from Japan parts or just stick with the boring Legacy rear bumper, I decided to do something custom.

Subaru's rear bumper on the GT leaves a lot to be desired. My goal is to throw on some dual quad exhausts and the bottom half of a 2008 STI bumper.

Current boring rear bumper.

I want the following section off of the 2008 STI rear bumper so I can run dual quad exhausts and attach a 2008 STI rear diffuser.

I want my backend to look like this

Endstate after all that is to get this look with the diffuser

Currently ordering both bumpers to have a guy in my area who has done some great work put this together for me.

Subscribed. Good luck, this is something I have been thinking about, but haven't been brave enough to try.

so... basically you want a diffuser.

Might be cheaper to get a Legacy diffuser from Japanparts.com. But...if you wanna go custom, here is a little tool for inspiration.

Its going to be over $1,000 to ship one of the rear diffusers from Japanparts.com. Then having to alter it to fit and painting. And I just picked up a damaged 2009 STI rear bumper for $60

So.....Basically I want some dual quad exhaust in the back and a rear bumper with some "ummpff". More to it than basically wanting a diffuser.

Theres a good market for this if you decide to mass produce...

A rear aero kit would really fill out the bumper and give it that much needed lowered stance.
