Nawambo Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Bought my manual Outback on November 20 and so far, I absolutely love it!!! - aside from eventually getting wider tires, I've been thinking of eventually putting some tough looking accessories - ie a grille or brush guard, maybe one to fit some rally style driving lights. I've scowered through the 'net and couldn't really find anything specifically for it. Anyone know where I could find something like that? Thanks, Nawar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
champagne 2.5i Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Try Primative Enterprises ([url]http://www.writerguy.com/primitive/index.htm[/url]). They have a lot of rally stuff. I talked to them and the guys there said that a lot of the wrx stuff he can convert to OB is you ask. Good hunting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Red beast has the lower OB grille guard and I saw it last weekend-looks nice- I'm getting one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nawambo Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Thanks for the tips, Where can I check out the Red Beast one? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I don't know that he has pix of it up yet, but if you look at this link you can see a pic of one: [url]http://subaruwrxparts.com/05legacy.html[/url] It's about halfway down.

Nawambo Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 I think its the Subaru standard grille gaurd for the Outback, I saw it at my dealer, and it's very "plastic-y" - I'm thinking of something a bit more aggressive, a bit more rallyish, that I can eventually put fog or driving lights on. Any other ideas? Thanks, Nawar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 Custom made push bar to mount lights on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nawambo Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 Ehhxactly, something like that, heh heh heh! Something like this... but that would fit and work on the Outback [url]http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.customtruckproducts.com/IMG_Products/WES-30Durangochr.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.customtruckproducts.com/index.cfm%3Ffuseaction%3Dproduct.productpreview%26Product_Group%3DBrush%2520Guards&h=273&w=360&sz=19&tbnid=rljSSgRBNGQJ:&tbnh=88&tbnw=116&start=8&prev=/images%3Fq%3DSUV%2Bbrush%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I'd get one of those for mine. Someone was telling me last weekend that they saw a new OB with the older grab bar mounted on the rear hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docsmile71 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 I have that brushguard. It's a plastic piece...nothing fancy. Right now, there's too much wind noise on the highway as it is...I think adding a real grille guard will further ruin the aerodynamics and create more wind noise.

PGT Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 there is a guy down in Richmond that had bars custom made at a metal shop for his WRX wagon. They bolt to the front subframe.....ran around $300 I think. I know there are some pics online......trying to find where I saw them. EDIT: Found it: [url]http://www.get-fast.net/r5/pics/img_6420.jpg[/url] The guy's name is 'Otto' - a good friend of mine is a buddy of his. I can track down what/when/where/how much for that guard if you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Isn't that the guy who got tired of his car getting bumped by parallel parkers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he does some rally and auto-x events, so he put them on to keep from bashing up the plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nawambo Posted January 13, 2005 Author Share Posted January 13, 2005 The third pic down is along the lines of what I'm thinking, something one could take off whenever they like. I don't like the Richmond one as much, too low. Unfortunately, the one I like seems to be in Australia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JessterCPA Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 They should rename this one the "Garden State Parkway Bar" [IMG]http://www.ecb.com.au/model/outback/10%2003%20ON%20TYPE%208%20SHT.JPG[/IMG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
