See the photo of the silver liberty and you can buy GTB one here's the link

It doesn't fit on N/A bumper as the GTB is "wider" on the curved ends.

First one is for an 04-06 2.0, 2.5i and GT.

That second one I had not seen the listing for before. Theres a very good chance its the right one as the other one they sell is for the GTB front.

Someone has to take the punt and buy it. I did with the very first 04-06 GT one from them.

ok.. WTF.. when i clicked the link i posted last night it went to a different one..

The one i was interested in was:

Looks like it fits up well.

FYI they now have the later model lips in stock again.

none of the ones pictured look like they will suit my car..

so that i can compare them side by side.. here are pics of the Ultrex one.







and now.. an image of the one on ebay..



I know the wrong bar is pictured, but the lip looks very similar

although having said that.. it looks much closer to the GTB lip from Ultrex



with the sides that go up..

has anyone got a pic of the Ultrex lip from side on..

[Stomps]

No.

This is the one I believe you need....

cheers for all the help..

can disregard my above post.. although i will leave the pics up to help others..

these things are great

ripped mine almost completely off on the weekend (parked nose first over a high gutter, which i never do, i always reverse in)
it just pulled the screrws through out of their speednuts in the bottom of the bar and broke a couple of the clips

so i just re-shaped it to how it should be, polished it up again, put the screws back in and it's like new.

a $400 STi lip would be in a thousand pieces

will THIS one fit??

what damn car do you have?

MYxx ...????

THAT will determine which one to buy.

[Stomps]

MY08 GT

sorry, its just the whole damn JDM bar only thing that threw me off.. i have no clue what the JDM bar looks like..

not the best pic..

but THIS front bar

[rooby]

It's just the non gtb gt. I think it's a nicer bar than the gtb.

[Stomps]

Cool... yeah I prefer then non GTB bar.. was never a fan of the GTB one...

I'll be ordering one Thurs next week... gotta wait till I get some money into my salary packaging card.. (not paying tax FTW)

will take lots of pics during install... hopefully it won't take the rest of time to get here..

[cruisn]

I hope its the right one for your bar...... fingers crossed.

Best front IMO is the '06 JDM spec B front.

[Stomps]

I hope its the right one for your bar...... fingers crossed.

yeah me too..

gonna be a PITA one more time and post some links.. but.. also looking at this:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/05-07-Subaru-Le ... 1e6ccd7ee4

looks like the one you suggested.. just not as flexible... i prefer the look of it TBH.. and the description claims it will fit the same bar (05-07GT)

[AlpineRaven]

OK,
I bought mine about 2 weeks ago from 555motorsports, it didnt fit on mine turns out to be for GTB only, so took it back and exchanged it to standard one, still didnt fit because that lip thing on the top of the bar is too long hence it has to be cut off, Last week I had the time to modify mine... see photo -

I used "Rapid Fix It" glue to re-join, sanded it back and primer it.



Fitted on the wagon...


Tools I used -
Blow Torch to bend the plastic in place because you'll crack it.
Angle Grinder with thin disc to cut
Angle Grinder with fine flap disc to smooth it
Rapid Fix It
Wet & dry sand paper
Primer

It fits, the holes does line up to factory holes.

Yes that is definitely the lip and definitely the badge to suit.

I wonder how many he sold when the price was jacked up?????

The usual seller I get my STi badges off has none in stock currently. They only charge $10 with free shipping from Hong Kong.

cheers mark will be all over it next week when payday arrives
