I always get a little ocd with a new vehicle especially when I look at this forum all night...why is it when you don't have projectors every car you see has projectors!

I've got a 2001, car came with a cracked front bumper still together with shipping tape, so I'm due for a bumper, looks like options are a little bleak. Searching pictures all night I noticed there are 2004 legacy gt out there with gen 3 front ends, probably just early launch overseas 2005 models, but it got me thinking if I swapped a gen 3 bumper would gen 3 headlights line up with fenders, and I don't mind a gen 3 hood scoop it needed...
Anyone have these parts for a side by side comparison?

Could you show us a link/picture of the 2004gt you are talking about?

Legacy GT B or B spec, Looks like Gen 3, probably is. But will it connect to 2004 Gen 2?

I believe a 2004 AU Subaru is what we have for a Gen 3 in the states, so the bumper most likely won't fit very well.

Exactly. In Europe and many other countrys the gen 2 was introduced in 1999 and sold until 2003. The gen 3 came in the fall of 2003 and was produced until 2009.
So the one you are looking at is a gen 3 and it the front is defenitly not a bold on fit...

Well Im still in need of a front bumper. I think I'll keep my eyes open for a 2004 baja, it has more pronounced fog lights and a few extra angles.

In the interim I might sawzall the lower dam connecting the fogs for something different than stock.

A Baja front end would look awesome, though Baja's are hard to find. You might search local junk yards and see if you can't source one from there that still has an undamaged front end.
