SEMA Show: Subaru gives the 2010 Legacy 2.5GT the Low Rider Treatment

The 2009 SEMA Show in Sin City this week will see Subaru taking the veils off a 'low-rider' style 2010 Legacy GT that blends parts from SPT and the Japanese domestic market (JDM) with custom features for the full "VIP", or as it's called in Japan, "bippu" treatment. According to Subbie, "VIP is a style known for a clean, yet heavily reworked, luxury theme with an emphasis on impossibly low ride height and huge, aggressively styled wheels."

So what does this translate in terms of style? Subaru started off by replacing the stock intercooler and the hood scoop with a Mishimoto front mount intercooler with custom piping for a smoother look while the turbo Boxer is dressed up with a custom full engine bay cover, SPT billet oil cap v2.0 and SPT billet battery hold-down v2.0.

Next they lowered the ride with an air suspension system from Universal Air and added custom made 20-inch MC3 Enterprises Trinidad alloy wheels shod in 235/30R20 Falken FK452 tires.

The car is also said to feature a number of body parts from the Japanese domestic market (JDM) Legacy, including: hood, bumper faces, sport grille, front and rear under spoilers, HID headlights and fog lights plus new Roof and decklid lip spoilers. Other features include rolled and flared fenders along with chrome tid bits on the exterior.

As you can see in the single picture issued by Subaru, the Legacy VIP's interior has been customized with diamond stitch seats and door trim finished in Togarashi Red, an illumination kit and STI Duracon shift knob while other goodies include rear a pair of bucket seats at the rear and a multimedia system.
