That image is on your computer. Host it on imageshack or something then put that link inside the image tags.
www.imageshack.us btw I did the v5 conversion on my 93 with an 05 swap and it all bolted right up. Bought the whole kit from www.get-primitive.com

turn signals
I was browing the web and I think I found what I need,
this is the Model number for the turn signals that should fit CGC01B-CWL. the problem is that they cost over $100 - damn it, pricy. |

LET IT BE KNOWN
Modifying a L bumper beam to fit on a V4 bumper skin is NOT I repeat NOT an easy task!!! Unless you have a plasma cutter, or one of those giant power cutting wheels, these bitches are a pain in the ass to modify properly! Yes, I just spent what, 3 or 4 hours cutting and hammering to get that sucker appart... OMG I should have bought a JDM bumper beam instead, and so should you if you are planning on doing this. I should take a photo of my hands too, all chewed up like I was in a fight... At least everything else on this install is going relativly easy... |

My 93-01 conversion went easy as pie. I got the full kit from Primitive racing (www.get-primitive.com), and it came with the jdm bumper beam.

Will an 04 sti front bumper fit on my 97 L? i am buying an 04 WRX STI from a junkyard for $700. the rear end is totalled but the interior front end, engine tranny and all thet stuff is fine. which means I will have the bumper beam. considering all this will it be a bolt in affair?

yah. cuz the tranny i have now is about to die. tromping on the gas and going 110 in an automatic with 120,000 miles on it isnt to good on it. the rest of the drivetrain is fine. can i swap over just the tranny or do i have to swap over other stuff too?

Back on topic! I just did this swap yesterday. It took 4 hours of dismantling, and went back together with no problems. I do have slightly more gap than I wanted between the headlights and bumper, but otherwise completely perfect fit. This was done on a 97 OBS. Please note that the lightweight JDM beam is NOT SAFE in a collision. That thing is so flimsy and not-durable its scary. Also, the under-guards that protect the engine bay dont fit between the obs and the rs bumper; these had to be ziptied together to prevent them from bouncing around. Also, the lightweight beam lacks the extra holes for pushpins to keep the bottom from moving; you will have to bolt and ziptie it directly to the beam/frame wherever you can on the edges. I did find two spots directly under the bumperbeam that I could bind the bottom to. Also, the single biggest pain in my ass was putting on the foglamps. The foglamps alone took like an hour because of the very small area I had to work with getting the bolts in there to screw down to the plates. Well worth the 450$ we spent on the whole thing, the woman is super happy about her new rs-lookalike obs wagon. Next up! rhd conversion and engine drop!

I thought that was easy. Hardest part for me was getting the damn bumper off... those scrivets that hold the skin to the fender were not fun. Why'd you go with the LW beam? I'd go junkyard hunting for a stock RS beam. The cash savings isn't worth the reduction in safety... I had a front end collision and am so glad I didn't get the LW beam. |

Im going to be doing this conversion in just a few weeks. but I need to buy the front bumper beam. I have a 1998 L and am going with the Version V frontend found on Get-Primitive.com I am wondering do I get the LW Front Bumper Beam for the 93-98 or the LW Front Bumper Beam 99-01? I know that my bumper beam that i have on is too big for the new front bumper. Can anyone quickly answer that for me.

it would be cheeper to buy the factory part they are only ~150 from your dealer and you don't have to pay shipping from oregon
option A get 99-01 beam its heavy option B get the sawsall out and cut off ~half of you L bumper option C (bad idea) get lightweight also form local dealer) option b is my recomendation C provides no support at all |

Another vote for the factory bumper cover, as I can't imagine a fiberglass bumper cover being as durable as stock.
