Thanks Soop.
$500RRP from Subaru is actually cheaper than I'd expect given the items rarity (locally speaking).
And no I haven't put it into a ditch. My front bars fine. It may potentially be on the market in coming weeks so I'm just wondering what they're selling for in second hand condition.
Any of you sold one? Any of you bought one?

Thanks for that Aaron. I was gonna ask you what you paid for yours.
I'm probably going to get the Legacy TSR style front bar. Very similar to the RX but with bigger front air dam and mesh backing and a more aggressive cut.
So I thought I'd ask around here and see what sort of prices people have seen/paid for the set.
//edit; sorry Soop, whats EWK?

Thats a GTB special edition bar IIRC.
EWK is a Importer/wrecker in Melbourne.

Theres a few of those bars on IM atm. Good luck trying to find one in Aus. EKW in Melbourne get complete gen2 GTB bars often for about $450. I paid $310 for mine shipped through IM.

^Yeah, IM is where I'll get mine off 
And the one good reason for living in Melbourne is being able to pick stuff up from IM!
Anyone else got prices for an RX front bar? I just wanna make sure I advertise the right price for it when the time comes and not undervalue my front bar.
Obviously I could just head over to FozN00berty and advertise it for a million dollars but then it wouldn't sell

Is that yours Aek?
Shiv mate what do you need a bigger air dam for?
I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.
It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

If you sell your bar complete with support and foggies id be looking for $400 easily.
Should be able to get that bar complete from IM for about that price.

Luke, I certainly don't need a bigger air dam. I just prefer that style 
And with news that I can get say $350-400 for my existing bar and foggies - I'm willing to pay the difference of importing the Legacy front bar and getting it painted.
Or if I'm fortunate enough, I can get one from EKW it seems<<thanks Aek and Soop.
I'm going to look around and see what I can find. No hurry. I've already splurged on new rims this xmas
