If the badge makes the car look better in your eyes, and makes it stand out, that's cool, you still know it's not a Legacy and you're the one who has to drive it.

Up badging, down badging, cross badging has been around for ages, people will always do it, I don't really care, personally I prefer no badges. But if you put a JDM badge on your car, you lose your right to judge any commodore with a chev badge.

My Outback got a legacy rear garnish too, Reason, it only cost $150.00 & was in perfect condition.

Wow, i dont remember this thread. Must've been the first thread i made.

Thanks for the badge aek!

I like the look of no badges and am hoping to debade my front grill when I find a proper replacement..

im quite sure its just the old JDM badge for Legacy just mirrored but people call it L7.. im not entirely sure theres alot of theories behind it and ive never found the correct meaning of it.. either way its jdm and i love it. i ordered the smaller shield shaped one instead of the big oval

Im not sure where this L7 stuff came from but I was under the impression it stood for Legacy Touring

I think your thinking to hard mate. The jdm impreza, forester and legacy's of the same era all had a stylized badge. Simply "i" for impreza, "f" for forester and "L" for legacy. The L apears to reflects it's self in reverse hence the "nickname" L7

[BigWillieStyles]

Thanks Aek, but having an L upside down doesnt make sense! Its an L ontop of a T representing that the Legacy is from the touring range.

Oh my god so much want for a wagon, so much regret.

[aekOne]

Mate "touring" refers to wagons. This badge was released on wagons AND sedan. Just coz it seems "silly" to you doesn't means it's not true

[BigWillieStyles]

Mate "touring" refers to wagons.

Could be complete horse sh*t, but i read somewhere that the 7 refers to the Pleiades constellation, also known as the Seven Sisters. The constellation is the origin of the name "Subaru".

There are only 6 stars in the constellation though, which is where the 6 stars in the subaru emblem come from, but for some reason it is the Seven sisters.

[BigWillieStyles]

yeah I saw that as well about Pleiades but doesnt sound right.

Badgeless FTW!

If my Outback didnt have a mint tailgate id remove the badge (bought a brand new one anyway, damn holes...) and have the panel beaters weld it up and paint it. Sexytimes....
