Impreza bumper kit on a Legacy?Capuano 07-13-2005, 01:42 PM I have a 1997 Legacy GT, and wanted to put a custom front bumper & spoiler on it. I tried ordering a $200 spoiler from Japan...until I discovered the shipping was $450!. Here's my question. I have a good body man that also does a lot of specialty work with fiberglass. Why couldn't he retro fit a commonly available spoiler & bumper kit for a 2003 Impreza onto my Legacy? This might be a dumb concept, but honestly, how different can they be besides the bolt pattern and maybe the overall length (which is where a fiberglass man could shrink or grow it to fit)? Has anybody out there ever tried this? Thanks, Cap sha_zapple 07-17-2005, 04:53 PM They are pretty different. The wheel wells dont match up and theres large gaps and such under the headlights. However, I have seen a Legacy with a normal Impreza bumper on it, so that means that it can be done (it had the problems I mentioned above though). With enough work you can get one to fit.

Thanks, I forgot about the wheel wells. That would be a major pain. Maybe I'll just go for a custom Imprezza spoiler on the front so all I hopefully have to worry about is the overall length. vBulletin®, Copyright ©2009, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.
