    I have looked almost everywhere for a chrome B4 badge for my Legacy and cant find any that are in stock. Anybody know of a dealer that has a stash? I suppose any JDM part will be scarce and probably expensive.

    Don't do it...save the money for suspension parts.

    I already put in a 19mm sway bar to stiffen up the reared. My suspension is a lot better than what it was back there.

    Good choice..did you do the Outback version or did you buy a Perrin or Whiteline? I haven't installed them yet but I picked up a set of H&R Springs for my Legacy. With that and my 19mm RSB I am going to be done with suspension for a bit.

    I went with the Outback swaybar from subaru online parts. Im not gonna lower my legacy as I dont wanna loose any clearance for all that snow we get to plow through. Ill look for some 18"-19" wheels whatever fills up the wells better.

    There. Or here. Sometimes both.
    Do you own a B4? Then why be a poser and put the badge on?

    Don't be like the dude on this forum that bought a JDM Prodrive emblem for his 2.5rs and now says he's the proud owner of a P1. It just makes you look like a douche that lives in a fantasy world.

    Your '13 Legacy is a nice car. You don't need to pretend that it's something that it's not.

    From what I understood was that all the B4 badge stood for was Boxer 4...or am I wrong on this??

    That is correct as far as I know. It is more JDM related. I think sneefy is confusing it with the B4 RSK which is also known as the Blitzen.

    Ok so after ready all the info on Wikipedia I guess the B designation comes from The legacy having a Bilstein suspension. Ohhh says the blind man.

    Actually from what I see now...yes I do have a B4...according to the JDM market I do.

    This is a link to Subaru.jp and this is the base Legacy 2.5i B4. So no Im not being a poser.

    http://www.subaru.jp/legacy/b4/grade/2.5i.html

    And it looks like if you own an Impreza (Sedan) its called a G4.

    It really doesn't matter if you were going to be a 'poser'. It's your car, don't let other tell you what to do to it. Everyone will have their opinions, but if you want to put a B4 badge on...I say go for it.
