Looking bloody awesome man. Tinting the tails definitely makes the prefacelift rear end look badass, hate the washed out/clearish look they have stock.

got my jdm honeycombe grille yesterday in the post! I love when boxes turn up for me at my desk Only part im waiting on now is the passenger side headlight, one of the foglight covers and both front fog units. All the other parts are ready for pickup at the local Subaru dealer

[Graphite]

Nice job Dan - that's quite a spec list you've got there

[legacydan]

bumper and fenders and some other bits from collected from dealer:







Set of fogs from Yahoo auctions to finish it off:



I'm waiting on one headlight to turn up and i can start test fitting it all together and see if i have everything. I had to open a paypal claim against the seller and he magically shipped it today and paypal sent me tracking. Hopefully i get it this week

[legacydan]

Both headlights have now been delivered:



I was looking to get a Ultrex or OTR replica front lip thinking it would work out cheaper than a genuine one. Ultrex didnt want to send me one and shipping quote of $575 dollars from OTR!

So i found and import car parts disty in UK and they had one in stock an that turned up today. It even worked out cheaper than ordering from Japanparts. I think it was their last one and they wanted to clear some stock.

Lovely quality lip, best i have had so far for my legacy:







Ill order some facelift arch liners from the local subaru dealer so i should have them next week so ill attempt a test fit of everything and see if it all fits together and i have all the parts needed

Epic, man. Good to see someone going all out, no expenses spared on the conversion.
You'll love the look

Im personally a huge fan of the post-fl front end. Although the rear on the post-fl sedans isnt my favourite.
Matching the pre-fl rear the post-fl front will be amazingly beautiful. Love the dedication to your car

No expense spared, thats the polite way of putting it! Well i was looking at new cars but trying to find something to replace this locally is near impossible as everything is a piece of shit diesel over here these days, so if you want something performance orientated that would be an improvement in power and that over the legacy would be something along these lines:

Mental money and im trying to save cash to buy a house so these little upgrades to my ol' legacy should keep me happy unitl i can afford some AMG goodness!

Coming along very nicely mate!

[knockoutgiant]

Hey mate, nice build! Curious as to what it takes to fit a PW TMIC to one of these JDM spec legacys?

Nothing extra. It all bolted straight on for me. Layout is the same

Much more betterer.
You need to finish the job and put that lip on (seeing as you made a whole lot of effort to get it)
