just showing off my rear end

[afterbang]

i was so stoked on how it turned out that i just wanted to share with everyone.

 

installed the jdm taillights and then debadged the rear end. had to add the chrome subaru logo to cover the holes from where the legacy badge was.

 

i know it doesn't really add anything insightful but i just am loving how clean i think it looks!

I been kicking the notion of JDM wagon tails on my 95 OutSack, war wagon. How bad was the install?

the center garnish is really easy. just take the wiper motor cover off for the center bolts if you have a rear wiper.

 

the sides are a bit of a pain. you have to remove the plastic trim at the bottom of the rear window that starts at the strut tower to get to two of the nuts. remove the storage box on the passenger side to get to the nut furthest back. on both sides you just cut a slit into the rubber sheeting behind the interior for that last nut. you also have to use a heat gun or blow dryer to heat up the side lights because they are sealed with butyl rubber.

 

took about 2 hours for me to figure it out. you also have to make sure you heat the rubber up on the replacement lights and patch any missing spots so water doesn't leak in.

 

if you want to get a set i can get you in contact with a guy ive been getting parts from in new zealand. they aren't cheap but they sure do look better than the yellow and red, in my opinion. i also installed some side marker lights with the clear lenses. they look pretty cool as well and take like 30 minutes to wire and install.

Thanks man. I am in talks with a local guy that has a set.
