rs front clip on leggy
Just a thought, I really like the first gen rs bumper and hood. anyone heard of putting the front clip on a ss or tw? for some reason my insticts tell me it should be fairly easy to do......maybe. I mean hood fenders and bumper....maybe a couple supports and lights of course. Someone wann do some photo choping!?

Re: rs front clip on leggy
What about just the front bumber skin? I have seen this done on a later 95-00 legacy (still not great with legacy model designations, bc?). Not sure how that was done, or how much fabrication it took.

Re: rs front clip on leggy
Browsing the Internet when I got my first Legacy I noticed a lot of RS Bumpers and Aftermarket Aero Kits meant for GC's fitted onto the SS and Touring Wagon models, Pre and Post facelift. I imagine you would have to knotch both side ends and find a way to attach it to those sides once you notch it. I'm going to be exploring this probably after the Holidays when I have a bit of extra cash.

Re: rs front clip on leggy
I don't know why, but I really like this Wagon, it's a GC/GM C-West Kit fitted on. I hate it on the Imprezas, but it fits the larger Legacy Wagons well......(maybe not the Front Bumper, but, yeah
)

You'll see what I mean about notching the sides, you can see in one of the pictures that it doesn't line up quite right, but decent enough![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: rs front clip on leggy
Blehhhh, I've seen a few people say they like that car, I think it's one of the ugliest Legacys I've seen, I'd almost be less embarrased to drive the peeling flat black wagon with a piece of wood glued on as the rear window I found in a junkyard.

God apex3 are you a closed minded person. If your going to bash on someones opinions, try to be considerate would you.

This is the one thing I hate about this forum, no one gives their opinion on things unless it's positive, if you say something negative people get all butt hurt about it. You can like it if you want, but you've heard my opinion.

Re: rs front clip on leggy
I don't like that look either, but I prefer things to look OEM, even if they're custom or I'll design the entire car from scratch and be the OEM. But to each their own.
One way to get the look you want is to buy a plastic welder (I should put this in my signature) and get an RS bumper. Cut up and merge the two bumpers with the welder and a heat gun as necessary, that way you can play with the curves as well, to better integrate it into the Legacy's more boxy design. The Legacy bumper is polypropylene, which is easy to work with. I'm guessing the Impreza is the same, but that's something you'd have to find out if you wanted to go this way. But even buying the tools and everything, I imagine the DIY route is going to come out cheaper than an expensive overseas imported part you'll probably still have to mess with to get to fit and you can get it exactly how you want it instead of being stuck with somebody else's interpretation. The welder is also useful for fixing various broken plastics throughout the car.

Re: rs front clip on leggy
Of course, you can also buy plastic sheet, rod, etc. and use them creatively in the project. I was originally going to do this, but now I just want it running and out of the garage so i can build another kayak. Appropriately, you can also fix damaged plastic kayaks with a welder.
