Expect about 8 weeks. That seemed to be the average for most things that I shipped over. Sometimes it was longer, but others it was shorter. Depends how long customs want to check the container out, and how long between your item hitting the warehouse in japan and when the container gets sent. My bumper etc hit within 7 weeks, but the brembos took 3 months. So many variables. Damage can be fixed fairly easily by the looks, and nice that you got one with fog lights included. Cheap too. Well done!

MY00 Red RX, a nice daily that was sold off once the B4 became reliable...
MY02 Blue B4, aka 'The Project' - v8 JDM STi engine package and assorted other 'goodies' - Sold, then bought back for parts. Stripped and crushed.
MY03 Blue RX, the newer old daily, pretty well more B4 than RX now... In the process of being converted to the track toy... Watch this space!
MY02 Silver Wagon, H6 conversion, full blue/black leather and almost full black interior to go with it.
MY03 White/Silver H6 Outback, donor car for silver waghoon.
MY97 Silver RX, acquired to become track car, but plans changed. To be stripped and scrapped in time.

You can't crash an NA because of hooning.

You crash an NA because you're a freaking chooch, and lack skills, not only in driving, but also in life.

Therefore, if you crash an NA.... end yourself.

Nah I wasn't hooning.

Someone let me out of a sidestreet into a main road on from a blind spot. Just didn't see him coming unfortunately.

Wasn't anticiptating it either. I trusted the bastard who nearly crashed into me, then let me out first, then pissed off because he clearly just caused an accident...

You do realise that you purchased the exact same bumper that you currently own on your RX, except it has the factory option lip kit.

Dont know why the Rev D headlights would make a difference, they dont sit any lower that the earlier lights. Ive seen late model bumpers on early model Legacy's.

There were two bumpers that came out here in the Rev A - C.. the one I had, and the later 01 one with the round foggies and semi-lip. Besides, I couldn't find a lip on IM and when I did, the bids were $280+, when I paid $80 for the entire bumper!

They don't fit dude.
They might not sit any lower - haven't actally measured myself, but they are a different shape - even if it is only slightly. This is why you have to change over everything if you were to get the newer style headlights. A RevA-C drove past me the other day with RevD-E headlights and nothing fit together. They still had the old grille, bonnet and front bar. It looked horrible!

Also, the Legacy's didn't get updated headlights. They were the same throughout the whole Gen3 series. So late model front bars would fit earlier models. But putting JDM RevD/E headlights on the older models won't work.

They won't fit as B4 bumper is REV D and will not fit my pre-facelift REV ABC.. Hence my trouble finding suitable bumper.

Does anyone know any good Suby wreckers in Sydney who may carry some bumpers? Cheers.

Was actually talking about late model bumpers on early models (not headlights) and replying to the OP who said they wouldnt fit because of the late model headlights.

Also, the Legacy's didn't get updated headlights.

???

The Legacy's did get the updated headlights which is very much obvious when you just do a simple search in google, forums, and yahoo auctions. I lived in Japan for four years and I can tell you for certain that I have seen thousands of Legacy's with updated headlights. The Aus B4 was just a variant of what they got in Japan.
