- 1.FRONT UNDER SKIRT
-
This is the first parts attached to since I bought the LEGACY. At first I wavered in my choise between MotorTrend's and G-square's, then I decided to buy the first after comparing the articles. I remember that I became tense because I had never been to what is called a car shop (COCKPIT Kawaguchi), different from parts shop and dealer. At that time the manager who had BF LEGACY too taught ignorant me about anything kindly. Since I bought it, I often broke and shaved it by the step or removal parking about 4 years. I repaired it by myself every time I broke it. Then my skill of repairing and painting improved. Considering this point, it was a cheap purchase I think.
- 2.FRONT GRILLE
-
The manager of that shop exchanged the front grille to Brighton220's. First time I saw it, I thought it was made by STi (SUBARU TECNICA INTERNATIONAL) but there was no pink line. I felt nice so I exchanged to same grille. A customer exchanged his grille to ISUZU ASKA's. I have never known that last ASKA made by SUBARU and sold by ISUZU. For some time I used it but it was damaged by jumped small rocks, so I painted plating body color. I think it's a image of Passart Variant by VW.
- 3.REAR UNDER SKIRT
-
One of the difference from VZ to VZ typeR is aero parts. From rear view VZ seemed to be high waist because there was no rear under skirt! - It is no use crying over spilt milk. - Then I ordered it to the dealer. Now I'm not satisfied with fitting because there are few gaps between skirt and bumpper. I'll put it to the bumper without gaps again.
- 4.BLACKING WAIST GARNISH OUT
-
Silver waist garnishes are too outstanding for deep colored body. So I bought black cutting sheet and cut it in measured width then put it on waist garnishes. Though the sheet was for a general purpose, it kept unhurt for a few years.
- 5.STICKER
-
I don't like to put a lot of stickers on my car. I think the replica as a real rally car is good but I don't have the heart to do it. Now I put only one sticker on it. Now I belong the club which is called LEGACY BF CLUB (sorry, Japanese only) for the BF LEGACY owners. This sticker shows the owewr belongs the club. Though I took apart in that at Sep. 1997, I regreted late joining them.
- 6.EYE-LINE GARNISHES
-
I bought them put on sale at TANA's Free Market (sorry, Japanese only) by Nob. I painted them Indigo blue metaric (it was silver) and put them to the headlights. It seems to be sleepy but the line from the grille to these garnishes is good I think.
- 7.SIDE UNDER SKIRTS
-
I got genuine side under skirts from KANZAKI which is the re-cycled parts shop on the network at last! I was waiting for them about 7 months but they couldn't lay in stock of aero parts so I began to give up. One day I recieved the mail about the stock in. I was very glad!
I didn't know which is better, installing them by myself or by other. Then I decided I asked professional Kobayashi car sheet metal factory for the installation becouse It needed to open 10 and more holes on a side frame member and was difficult for me. I'm surprised at that it was easy to open the holes checking the article.
Then the result is good! I think the genuine silhouette is wonderful.
It's similar to fond father!? - 8.REAR OWNERMENT
-
The Six Stars ownerment on a rear gate must be there, I think! After minor model change they omitted it.
I painted it gun-metalic as fitting in with its body color. But I know the demerit that it's difficult to clean it.
- X.THE PLAN AFTER THIS
-
REAR ROOF WING ........I think that the MotorTrend's or HipppoSleek's is good (Now both of them stop to sell.... Hummm).
