Well, I live in Finland and lockal dealer do not have 2011 part DVD...Nice!

I use forwarder company in Florida area, so thats why US part nubers are welcome too...( lot of US parts are half priced compare EU area!!! )

HELP!!!

youre going to need
front bumper
L&R mud guards
Grill (costs more than front bumper)
L&R fog light covers

you could skip the mud guards but its going to be a really really tight fit so i wouldnt recommend skipping.

TomiT · Jan 17, 2011

Yeah I know the mud guard thing, but all the part numbers are still on WANTED list!

Does JDM Spec C got the same bumper than US WRX?? Looks like same to me??

So no fog lights...

If bumpers are identicals then WRX 2011 front bumper part number is on Wanted list... ( Must have Spec C replica

)

also need tow hook cover

Wardski · Jan 24, 2011

I believe www.japanparts.com has all of the replacement parts and part nos.

Go forth and search!!

Jihaa!! 2011 bumper parts ordered... List of needed OEM part numbers are coming soon.

Finaly the 2011 look is ready, only front lip is missing.

Sabrewings · Mar 2, 2011

Good luck with the swap. The 2011 look isn't my thing otherwise I would've attempted this already. The sharper lines of the front end on the 2011 looks forced compared to the rest of the body.

TomiT · May 16, 2011

Finaly got the parts...

Here is OEM part numbers for the MY11 front bumper...Only tow hook cover and L&R mud guards missing. Hook cover is ordered but I try to mod MY08 mud guards for the new bumper...Let see how I manage to do it.

Looks good. GL with the install! I have yet to order mine...not happy that somehow the grille is more than the bumper..

How Much did you spend on all this. Im looking to do the same swap, did you get in installed yet?

TomiT · Jun 14, 2011

Yeah... less than 1K painted.

Scream the front lip

cerealkiller326 · Jun 18, 2011

Just ordered mine, less than 600 for all parts and clips. Now just gotta paint and clear bra it.

Wardski · Jun 18, 2011

I like it!

Might have to do this with my 09 STi in WRC blue
