hers what i got so far.. i need to do a little welding or recruit someone near buy to assist:D but its coming along with zero out of pocket.

i cut out all but the frame of the grill and inserted some cool Aluminum mesh.. and notice the notched bumper for additional cooling(welding needed)

I believe thats about 6" off the front.. turn signal guards may be useless but the fit the theme.. who knows.. may stop a rock..

i have a slightly bent up lower valance, thats coming off tomorrow to get a lil straightning.. If someone has a rx front air dam they want to let go of shoot me a pm.

 

more to come..

Looks ***************en, I am planning on doing something similar with my RX. I don't like the way the bumpers stick way out like they do.

 

I can help you with the welding. Maybe weld in a piece of angle iron where you cut the sheetmetal to stiffen it up a bit and keep the cooling effect?

 

I'm in Cornelius, OR, near Hillsboro.

looks good, maybe move the signals behind the grill and chop the rest of the bumper

what id like to do is box in the cut out section and weld in a smoothy plate along the protruding tab on top and bottom of the bumper. i think it should give the front end a nice clean look with flush turn signals

That's what I was planning on doing to my 89 this summer! Cool man. I plan on doing away with the blinkers in the bumper, and trying to re-wire the side marker light(next to the headlights) to be the blinkers with an amber bulb.

 

I agree that the bumpers make the car look goofy.

UPDATE!

 

so today i yanked the passenger side fender and removed the intake silencer box thing. I then proceeded to hack the bottom of the airbox out. sounds throaty almost ricey but more throaty so i think its ok.

 

so now where to in the no buck build up? i guess i could spend maybe ten bucks.. any one have any suggestions on where to go next?

climb under rear of car and unbolt the muffler. Give you a nice piped out sound to it.

when i get to the money end of the project it will have 2.5" from the turbo back and a shiny muffler for those occasions that it gets washed.

so i made some more progress on the front end finally.. having a welder really helps. oh and i may have spent a few bucks on some really bright lights.. somethings you just cant get for free

 

this is what i started with..

then i started boxing it all in..

i still need ro make sides for the bumper.. just trying to figure out a good way to do it..

 

so yeah mo betta.. starting to look more and more like the rally machine i want it to be.. im dreaming of a wrx front clip... mmm...

Do believe that Subaru Master Guru, Skip,, has one of his rides re-wired so that the side markers are the turn signals now. May want to do a search for that.

the lights look good but it looks like you need to aim them.

should be dark enough now... just installed them this afternoon..
