@kimo its top secret!
Just kidding. Its a crappy lip off of a 97 legacy L. Its SUPER sketchy to be honest. Ill have to brainstorm a better way to mount it when I have time. The problem is that our rear bumpers don't have much meat on them underneath:'(

That's gotta be a 97 LGT lip, not an L. Or an LGT lip that was installed on an L. I am encouraged by how it looks, killajamal. I have both the LGT wagon and sedan rear lips that I'll install if I ever get the damn car running... :(

Mike you're right! I was totally surprised to see it on the car. But it had been owned by an older lady originally who I wouldn't have imagined to install it so I'm wondering if subaru threw them on a few L models. Who knows! I could be wrong!
I had a 98 lgt for 6 years. It was such a clean car. If you wanna sell your wagon lip, my brother needs one! >:)

Put an older sunpro boost gauge in the other day. Definitely like it more than the autozone one I had.

Faaaak that sucks. I'll keep my eye out for forester struts. You heard of Primitive Racing? They sell lift springs, if that's your thing. They look awesome.

Found the boost leak. Also found put that apparently I also need a new brake booster, since that seems to be where it was leaking from. Also needto figure out what's causing it to spew black smoke at high boost/high rpm now that I can reach high boost.

Replaced my brake booster check valve with one from a 90s Honda (they are external to the hose and are the right size to be spliced into our hose.). Now I can go fast AND stop fast. Two things its always nice to do with one car.

Also, the check valve in my original hose did a disappearing act. Maybe it disintegrated from all my boost?
