![]() I got the bumper cover and grill back from being painted so I spent last night and this morning putting everything together. Only problem was that I didn't know that the tow hook cover was sold seperatly. A little modding had to be done to the vertical bumper stuts. It'll look better once the cover is on.

Great looking GT! I am amazed with how nice that Outback bumper looks on your car. I really like the all-white color scheme. You now have a one-of-a-kind Legacy, very nice! Jacob |

![]() Very nice, Even though you beat white knight and myself at the bumper coversion
![]() Did you look into fitting any aftermarket fog lights like Hella or Piaa ones in there instead of the stock fogs? Looks like you went stock. /Mark (I will beat White Knight, I will beat White Knight) |

![]() I'll be honest, I wasn't going to bother until that fateful day when the ford explorer spun in front of me-causing me to go for the ditch or smash into a suv. The stock bumper got a 2" break in it so why not replace it
![]() sovereignmk1: I really wanted to just get it together, but now I'm looking into it. The amount of light these throw out compared to the other fogs is staggering. A set of PIAA's are in the future. PHATsuby: There's still a chance of snow, so they're in the garage until warmer days. I'm trying to sell them so I can get a set of white 17" subzero's. The 35 profile is a little scary on NYC roads. Here's a pic. |

![]() Can we get a side shot? From all of the photoshopped pics of the bumper it looked like it would stick out a lot in the front. Also is there a difference in clearance height?

![]() thanks.
This looks real slick (especially since it doesn't stick out like Leno's chin). So are you going to be putting together a doc detailing the conversion? Or will you be greedy and keep the secrets to yourself - although it didn't sound like there were that many snags. The bumper itself is far cheaper than any other aftermarket bumper (that isn't real ghetto looking) and looks just as good. Very nice looking car...can we also get a shot with the summer rubber when you throw it on? |

![]() That's kinda strange, it looks like the OB bumber doesn't even stick out as far as the GT bumber IMO, just from looking at the 2 pics.

![]() It was pretty tight getting it on, but it's solid. If you do it I can help you, but it wasn't tough. There's only 2 bolts and a bunch of clips. The pain was getting the verticals to line up by the fenders. I didn't take any step by step shots, but it took me a total of 3hours ish.

![]() subyspeed2 - If you're planning on using a newer style bumper I don't think(~99.7%) it will work on your 92.

![]() Any of the 2nd Gen Legacy's which start in 95. I could be wrong as i'm not 100%. The width of the two cars (ie your 92 vs a 96 OB),front bumper brace strength and mounting points are probably the things you need to look at. Never looked into it for an older Legacy.
You should get the measurements from a 96-99 OB owner and compare if you're really interested in trying a swap. /Mark |
