JDM Body Styles?

Post by andrew.anderson »

Can someone tell me what the Outback Sedan bosy style is called in Japan? I am wanting to buy a body kit for my 99 Legacy SUS which is the same as an outback sedan. Or even better, does anyone know if a legacy front and / or rear bumper will fit an outback sedan? Is the only body differance that the Outback sedan is two tone and rides higher

Yes the only difference is trim and minor suspension/tire differences. Everything from the regular models or GTs from whatever home country your car's from should bolt up. I know Japanese bumpers sometimes don't fit US models unless you procure the bumper beam also as they have different ones to meet different safety standards. I have no idea if Euro versions would share a JDM beam, USDM beam, or have their own, but I'm sure they'll be their own when the pedestrian impact standards come in. Good thing Subaru's naturally well equipped to deal with them.

Thanks. Would be nice to know if I needed the beam. I will email a few resellers and see what response I get.

I guess no one here can. I will check out some other message boards and post the answer here if I find one.
