Some JDM part questions

So a couple things ...

First, does anyone know where I can find a JDM Legacy emblem? I see the red ones on ebay with the grill, but I don't want to pay $100 for a grill I can't use just for the emblem. I have seen a version that's round and matches up perfectly to where the stock subaru badges are.

Next ... I'm sure many of you already know about the Legacy RS-RA STI version of our cars. Sick ass car ... I'd sell my neighbors kids for one. Hell ... I'd sell them for a couple slices of NY pizzaria style pizza. But that's besides the point. I found picture of one with what is definitly a factory lip kit. Does anyone know anything about this?

Nope I don't know anything about those but I sure would like to. I'd like to see their version of a wagon with that lip kit.. And I would give a few of my neighbors kids to help with the cause.. lol :)

Just about everyone except North America got those bumpers and skirts on the turbo Legacies. Your only option at this point is to find a car being parted out overseas... Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Europe. JDM importers occasionally come up with one or two pieces of the puzzle... The side skirts only can be found on the '94 Legacy GT Wagon (non-turbo)

As for the pizza, get in the car, come on down and get some! I've got a place in Queens that is absolutely brilliant...

I want those damn sideskirts!

We have some decent pizza up here too. Best I've had was in Philly. But I'm sure your place is awesome too.

IMHO, it's not a lip kit, it's just the way the illustration has been drawn to exaggerate the lip.

We've got JDM stuff in NZ, and the pre-facelift BC5 RS has the bumper lip unpainted in contrast with the body-colour bumper. There's a bolt-on lip kit for the rear bumper and the bolt-on sill covers but nothing on the front bumper.

Honestly, I've never seen a factory bolt-on lip kit for the front bumper on any of the JDM cars in NZ. A few aftermarket ones, including Crowesport body kits but not factory. Maybe I'm just blind . . . .
