it is goin on a "95 L wagon. anyone have any pics of this style on an impreza? what "version" bumper is this? it looks like if i modify my front beam and bew some misc. clips, i am close to set up right? lastly, opinions on this, i.e. is it a good deal? look good on a wagon?

thanks again guys. i need to replace my damaged front bumper so i thought this would bo cool.

It says it comes with the support(bumper beam(so you won't have to modify your own)) so i'd say it's definitely a good deal especially since it comes with foggies. there are a few cars on here with that bumper (v1-v4) and it looks really nice. I looked for that version for awhile before buying my v5/6 bumper skin. That version will actually match your front end since you have the older grille/headlights/hood.

That is a pre-1999 bumper for a JDM WRX or STI. Probably a WRX since nearly all STIs had fog covers. Good deal on it too. If it comes with the beam it will bolt straight up, should'nt require any mods.

be aware that it is shipped on a large pallet. I got mine from them and it was close to $300 after it was all said and done. I bought it for the same price. All you need to do is remove the two bolts located right behind each headlight, remove plastic retainers on the side of the bumper which attaches it to the fender. There are two tabs on the stock beam by the bolts that prevent it from coming out. Then pull and remove the clips that attach to the turn signals. your done.
reverse proccess to install.
love the style

I got mine shipped with beam for $150 from SoCal to Washington state. They look like this-

And I love the way they look. Now I just need to find a hood.

shipping is hella of expensive for J hot.. well depending on size and quantity. I was going to get a JDM aluminum STi hood... but shipping costed over $180....so i was like #$%^&* this.... find one somewhere else .


but heck... if your willing to pay for it.. all ups to u!

 

[xredkingx]

i just got quoted at $80 for shipping but i anticipate it to go up a few bucks. i got a day to mull it over before the auction ends. i do appreciate the fast responses and your input guys.

i was planning on bidding on it tomorrow night if no one else has its the last piece i need for my front end . but I can't see spending 290 for a used bumper when i could get all new for close to that.

does that bumper fit all us spec impreza 98-01?

I spent about $500 with shipping for mine. That price included the fog covers, turn signals, and bumper beam. I didn't think that was out of line at all.

The bumper will fit any Impreza between 93-01 as long as you get the jdm bumper beam with the bumper.

you could order a 99-01 Rs bumper with jdm beam from subarugenuineparts.com for 200$ before shipping brand new. and the turn signals fogs and fog covers couldn't be more then 100$ all together.

 

[xredkingx]

i'm with you on that Alpine_star. $250+ for a used bumper seems a little out there compared to new but it is tempting. like i said, if you decide against it, let me know, i might still go for it. decisions, decisions....

i kinda like the ver.5/6 better so i keep leaning towards just waiting for one of those.
james

 

[Alpine.$tar^]

the 99-01 rs bumper is the same i believe as the ver. 5

 

[XvPhoeniX]

Just a consideration, but I think that the JDM silver is different from STM which would be the USDM silver. The two colors--I think--are similar enough, though if you want a spot on match you would have to paint it; which is expensive.

GL with your bid!

I see that you can get the bumper and beam for about $230, Fog covers are $20, turn signals are another $40. Freight on the bumper skin alone is $125 flat. Plus another $25 for the beam, $10 more on the lights, same on the fog covers. You're at $460 easy, plus you still need to get it painted.

I think if you wait and find the right color, you can't beat going used.

I'm pretty sure I will end up buying this bumper. JHot is less than 14 miles from me. So I will definately save on shipping. My bid should be up soon

Edit: You guys can decide who will have the bumper between yourselves i'm going to wait for a ver. 5/6 to go with my ver. 5 grill
