[Replacement parts / accident repair]

Thanks for the replies, I picked up the hood today and it fit just fine after I got everything back to the stock location. The only adjustment I had to make was to the front radiator mount because it was knocked out of whack about 1/2".

 

 

Now if I could just find a decent priced set of headlights and front grill

 

 

 

"What are you planning to do with the old headlights? If you're just gonna toss them, let me know"

 

 

Not sure yet, i may try and fix one of them but if not I will let you know before I toss them.

 

 

"How much did you find that GT hood for? I need one for my 98 GT "

 

 

I Purchased it for $200 at a local salvage yard that was parting out a 98 outback. It was more than I wanted to pay but I figured since it was local I would pay the extra for a fancy hood I also purchased a GT rear spoiler off Ebay since I am going to have to paint anyways.

 

 

Anyone have a lead on a set of decent priced headlights for this 97 Legacy?

[Replacement parts / accident repair]

Hello all,

 

97 Legacy sedan 5 speed 2.2

The wife’s daily driver has some minor accident damage and is in need of some replacement parts, I figured while we are at it I might as well see if we can update/ upgrade it a little and had a few questions.

 

 

• The hood needs replaced, in my searches I have found a used 98 legacy GT hood for the same price as the that the standard Legacy hood. From what I have read here it appears that it will bolt up without issue. Is this correct? Are there any different models of hoods that I should look into?
  
• Both headlights need replaced because the plastic mounts are busted, since I am looking at replacing both sides is there a better option than the one-piece factory units? (Different model/ year or aftermarket)
  
• The grill needs replaced as well and I have noticed that there were several different grills available normal/ GT /outback. Will they all fit? Are there any aftermarket grills that I should consider?
  

 

Anything else I should consider while I am replacing/painting?

 

 

Thanks!
