Posting the same hard-to-read unresearched questions over and over isn't going to get you the answers.

Sorry, there's no way to make an old Legacy look good. Every day I curse my ugly car.


I'll add that if you could actually spell and form complete sentences and use halfway decent grammar people would probably give you slightly more serious answers. We don't take kindly to folks who want to rice out their Legacies, either.

if you change your body kit, you might want to get some heavier weight blinker fluid at the same time. and with spoilers, you have to make sure they will clear your trunk manifold/bearings so be careful of that.

First off, welcome to the site. That said, we tend to talk with complete words here. ;)

The reason why your Legacy does NOT need stuff to be "cool" like the other cars is because it was engineered and performs better. You have more displacement than most Hondas, you have AWD (tell your friends you want to race at the track when it's raining or snowing), and your car is every bit as stylish for its time as other cars of its era. In fact, it's probably a GOOD thing companies like Erebuni, Wings West, etc have NOT designed retarded body kits to put on the Legacy. Just keeps the ricers from buying them. :)


FYI, with the exception of the (1st gen) Eclipse and Evo, there's no such thing as a good looking Mitsubishi.

The inherent beauty of all Subarus lies in what they can do.

If you're going to actually rally your car, I'd advise against spending ANY money on the body. A spoiler won't do you any good, either.

Exhaust. . . well, better take a look in the engine forum and see what's been said about putting an aftermarket exhaust on a naturally aspirated Legacy. ;)

What is it, exactly, that you hope to do with the car? Autocross? Lapping? Rallycross?


And do you wear your hat "sidewayz"?

dis post iz da shiznit!

Most of us here are into real engineering and leave the body kits and wings and bling bling to the ricers.

If you are looking to put a kit on your car to make it look "cool" you bought the wrong car. If you want a unique car that is great year round and will last you a long time- you bought the right car.

Now excuse me while I ebay for a chrome shift knob for my ride.

Yeah, it's dead, but I still don't understand why he would right "mah" instead of "my." I always thought AOL kiddie speak was sort of like a short hand, but mah is longer than my, and is retarded to boot. Is this like some sort of an internet paradox?

I'm also still confused about the whole "stage" thing. I asked a guy about his WRX once and he was like "yeah, it's a stage 4." I mean, what the fuck does that even mean? Can I make up my own stages? Then I totally have a stage 12 Legacy because it has new wheels, tires, struts, springs, strut tops, strut tower braces, lateral links, swaybar mounts, a turbo swaybar, a rally clock, driving lights, and a trunkmonkey.

Stages MUST be mentioned only with the BRAND of the company or shop who designed it. It's all relative to the other "stages" they whip-up.

I absolutely hate the whole "stage XX" terminology that has been going around for some time now!!!

Art is completely right....unless you specify the company it means absolutely NOTHING! Even then, I still think it's shit because you can't compare company XX's stage 3 to company's YY's stage 3.

i like stages. They instantly identify the owner as a Gran Tourismonator who can then be ignored.

There you go, I underlined a few things that needed some work.

If you search for "body kit," you'll come up with about everything there has ever been having to do with body kits on 1st gen Legacies.

There were also a few honest answers in the thread:

Just because no one had a link to a website that sells Weapon-R front air dams for a 91 Legacy doesn't mean we're not helping.
