ssulb Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'm probably not going to do this any time soon but how hard would it be to fit a 2014 Legacy bumper cover on a 2010 Legacy? I personally like the design a little better. I noticed that the grille is a little taller and the fog lights are different, but other than that is it just bolt on pretty much? This is the 2010 design http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160301/16834b3c409a548f20ecb305e4dba97a.jpg This is the 2014 design http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160301/d8bfcbab7ebc30c299a52e98dc084da6.jpg I thank in advanced for support and comments.

ssulb Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Just as a side note. Did anyone see the JDM Legacys have headlights washers in the front bumper? I WANT. [emoji22] http://youtu.be/mxL-XKm-nr8 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLGT Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Bumper and grille is all that it should take. I am about to do this probably in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
testa422 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Yep you'll need the bumper and the grille to do the swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unsp0kn Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I didnt think the hood would fit with the new grill right? I didn't think so either, I believe the hood would need to be replaced with a facelift hood as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 There has been much discussion here about this over the years. All you need is the grille, bumper, fogs and fog bezels. The hood is not different from 10-14. GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy.B Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I'm pretty sure the grill and bumper is all you need. I doubt Subaru would have designed a new hood for two years and change it again, haha. Most the time I don't see the fog lights and such with the bumpers so you'll probably need to buy those as well. I was pondering this yesterday but quickly realized that after bumper, extra parts, a paint job and a grill I might as well use that elsewhere. The 2013-14 aftermarket grill is pretty sweet though. http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NzIwWDk2MA==/z/lcYAAOxyOFRSK3sL/$(KGrHqF,!rUFIe,8MwHNBSK3sK8j0w~~60_3.JPG Timothy.B's 2011 LEGACY 3.6R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssulb Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share Posted March 1, 2016 Too bad the Grillcraft bumpers aren't for the 2014. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160301/550c4a15267a26419abcb585bc52afb3.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would do it but it's pricy. Maybe I will cause my bumper cover is already scratched. I will try to fix my original and buy the new one this summer.

Blizzard Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I must be the only one that likes the older grill more than the new. The wings on the newer style are too abrupt. I'd like to see what the newer front fascia looks like with the older grill. If you have any spare time when installing everything it might be a neat comparison.

Headlights on these cars are too big, and the newer design helps break up how big they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLlegacy Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I am a fan of the older grill over the newer one, and ditto on the headlights they cover a lot of surface area. I was considering plastidipping them to make them look like they had those covers over them. (keep thinking eyelash but thats not it lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssulb Posted March 3, 2016 Author Share Posted March 3, 2016 I am a fan of the older 2010-2012 grill because it just looks nicer in my opinion, but I do like the more aggressive front bumper. Sadly you can't use the 2010 grill with the newer bumper. I also feel like the headlights are too big. Subaru should of cut off that top portion of the headlights where that awkward turn signal bulb is and integrated it into the bottom of the housing. Would look a lot nicer. The eyebrows look nice but still that turn signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faded-a-fool Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I have been using the eyebrows for over a year now. No run-ins with the police just yet (cross fingers). I think the issue would be opposing far lane traffic seeing the blinker while turning right. The blinker does light up the corner portion of the light but can only see this at night. Still illegal though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
