No idea on shift *****, sorry.

On the lights, mine are actually mounted upside down, with an L-bracket secured to the internal bumper support and hanging down for the light to bolt into. I have no idea how the 520's mount or if they fit, but you should be able to make something work.

I can't get a pic, they're on the car, and they mount inside the bumper, from above.....heh. Pull your headlights out and you can see down to the top of the lower bumper section, then make something work. Every set of fogs is going to be different. There is no such thing as a bolt-on installation on a 10-year-old Subaru with little to no enthusiast following; you can't buy a bracket that fits, you just measure, mock up parts, drill holes, modify, etc, until it fits.

25 sets on the wagon, give or take.

3 sets on the drift car

4 sets on the STi and counting.

New set coming for wagon/sti (dual bolt pattern) shortly.

I have lots of shoes, too, there's probably a correlation there.

so pretty much everything that you did you either had to pay a fair amount, or figure a way to get other parts to fit huh? I have looked around for stuff that is made for this car and i found (as im sure you did) they just dont make anything, not high enough demand i guess. Which im alright with im always lling for a challenge, i cant wait to start making money so i can start customizing mine. Are there any websites that really helped you out as far as getting parts goes or any tips you have?

Thanks a bunch,
Mike

Is there a thread or some pics of "the drift car"?

Never did a writeup on this site. A friend built it, I just cleaned it up, then, finally, laid it to rest, to be reborn down the road.
