Hey very nice Legacy, where did ya get the 2.5GT grill badge i've been lookin' and all I can find is just a GT one on ebay. I see you've put alot of time and money into your mods, it's hard to stop once you get started. I have a 98 GT Limited check it out if you want, still early on as far as mods go but can't wait to do more.
