Hi, Best up to post an image of the front bar you are looking for mate. Plenty of Sydney crew here, give them a bit more info - help them help you. Cheers, Nik

Its not an aftermarket bar. It came standard on all RX's which were made between late 96-98.
This the one?



There might be some for sale amongst various subaru forums otherwise ring around wreckers.
Never bought or sold one without going through insurance but from memory they can be picked up for around $400?

all autos has a gen 2 series 2 nose cut at the moment for $750 which includes the front bar, L7 grill, projector headlights, fog lights, and reo bar

In that case, make one yourself... from paper-mache

this gonna turn out to be an interesting post...

Prepare to be flamed

Check out SSS Automotive... They sell Taiwanese copied parts.. U do need 2 know they arent exactly the same as OEM, they mite not line up correctly or the quaility wont be there... Ur better of going to a wrecker in my honest opinion

Hi,

Definitely look through wreckers before looking for a copy front bar. As mentioned above, they often fit poorly.

Cheers,
Nik

This was an aftermarket one...turned out well

[aekOne]

haha yeah not a happy ending. Didn't that bar end up costing him a small fortune to get?? Tristan ended up buying a genuine series 2 front bar from me to replace that one

you'll probably end up paying the same or more for an aftermarket bar so i'd just ring some wreckers or as i mentioned above, get the one from All Autos. It was everything for a series 2 front end conversion

From memory is was about $500? And thats unpainted - well painted green!

[sora86]

Give Walts $200 to stalk Morg's old car, then spend the remainder on petrol to take you to Morg's old car and "borrow" it....

























This may/may not get you in trouble with the local authorities and/or the new owner

[aekOne]

I just called Patrick at General Jap Spares and he has one arriving in about a week. $380 with fogs and reo bar

Consider this the old owners approval.
Took 2 resprays, a brand new bar and another respray in the end and its now perfect

New owner may or may not have damaged it in any way
This does not allow you to respray it to your choice of colour as it took too long to get it the way it is
kthx
