The older ones have more aggressive fronts while the later models look stuck up since they thinned the lights, but raised them. Then they gave them a bland chin and that boring grille... The later turbos are OK because they put a decent bumper and the later sedans have a nicer rear panel.

My dream would be for a 91 Turbo with 92 rear end. I don't like the 90-91 tail. 92 also had the factory clear turn signals in the rear, and the turbo models got a slightly larger hoodscoop.

(they look good lowered). But the Liberty/Legacy RS 92-94's that have the same bumper but with the fog lamps included look even better then the usdm 91 IMO. I like the tail on the 92-94 but I do not like the tail on the 91 at all.

pics of the rear?
Does anyone have pics of the 90-91 and the 92-94 rear? I dont have any clue about the differences between the two. Years for the seatbelts anyone?

Re: pics of the rear?
Here's a 91, this is actually a Liberty RS but it's pretty much the same:carfreak85 wrote:Does anyone have pics of the 90-91 and the 92-94 rear? I dont have any clue about the differences between the two. Years for the seatbelts anyone?
You can also look at the picture in the upper left corner here on the bbs to see a 91 rear.
Here's a 92-94 rear. Funny this is also a pic off a Liberty RS

Strange, that the "Liberty" has Legacy badging on it. Although I know what you mean, that owner is over on the Liberty RS forum. Either he has a Japanese import, or Legacy badging on his car. The second pic is of a 92 rear end, 93-94 has orange turn signals.

I believe the earlier ones are larger than the later ones or vice versa, either way in order to have it match up you'd have to change the bumper, fender and trunk lid I believe. I don't think it's worth it just to have better looking lights. AFAIK there hasn't been anything bad performance-wise about the earlier rear lights.

There was a car picture on this board ealier that had 92 rear end and a 91 front end (or 89-90 JDM front end rather). As we analyzed it, we came to the conclusion that it was a later year legacy turbo with a natrual rear end, but the front had been modified to fit the older face. To do that, though, they needed to change the hood, front grill, lights, and possably some side panels. I don't recall everything exactly. Point being, it would be easier to do that then to change the rear more than likely. Then again, maybe you know a chop shop and can just splice the back end of a 92-94 on to the front three quarters of a 91.
