Wanted - 02-03 WRX Hood & Front Bumper

I'm looking for a hood and front bumper (Metal Bumper Support & Plastic Bumper Cover) for my 2002 Subaru WRX. Black would be preferable, but I'm going to paint it regardless. I would prefer them to be stock, but may consider aftermarket, and I can reuse my current hood scoop. I'm located in Los ...

Re: Looking For Good Shops For Engine Swap

Well my car isn't worth the metal in it's frame with a shot transmission and all the other little quirks it has. And I think the bugeyes are the best looking subies this millennium. So yes, I could get a decent STi for around 10k. And I could probably get 4k for my WRX. I think I can probably do thi...

Re: Looking For Good Shops For Engine Swap

Well I went by Subietech Headquarters. It looks like it's a single guy operating out of a shared garage with a small hydraulic lift outside. He had 3 Subies in the back, 2 of them bugeyes like mine, and 2 engines sitting in the garage. He seems like a pretty nice guy, and said he could do my swap fo...

Re: Looking For Good Shops For Engine Swap

I found a place in Downey, Subietech Headquarters, they'll do the labor for $2000. They look pretty decent, has anyone had any dealings with them?

@Mike
Apollo performance is blocked at work, I'll check out their site when I get home tonight.

Thanks

Re: Looking For Good Shops For Engine Swap

Suby Specialties in Monrovia has always been the most consistently best and straight forward Suby place in the LA area as far as I'm concerned and the many folks that I've sent to Steve.

Re: Wanted - STi Powertrain

As you no doubt know, NASIOC Southern CA would be the place to ask. I've seen lots of STI's in junk yards with seemingly just suspension and body work damage. There SHOULD be power trains around ... http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=20 Yeah I posted a couple threads on Nasioc yeste...
