I found this 2003 Subaru Legacy Touring GT-B S-Edition on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . The want is strong.

This one features a 280 hp EJ208 with a 5-speed manual transmission.

This S-Edition features a few nice enhancements over a “standard” S-Edition.

It also features a few not-so-nice enhancements.

Personally, that lower-tier spoiler needs to go. So does the S-Edition badge that I believe is from a much newer S-Edition Forester (SH).

The interior looks inviting, and the seats look comfortable.

This S-Edition also features a Tein Electronic Damping Force Control (EDFC) system. From what I can tell, this controller allows adjustment of the damping settings of the shock absorbers. I don’t know much about this type of setup, but it seems like a neat concept. This also probably means this S-Edition no longer has Bilstein shock absorbers (the “B” in GT-B).

Here you can see the stepper motors for the EDFC system. You can also see how cramped the engine bay appears. I do question the aftermarket intake tube (the box appears stock), and what appears to be extra wires attached to the battery.

If it was after April 2028, it would be on a boat by now. The price ($2,330) and mileage (~60,000 miles) are very tempting. Tempting enough to overlook any minor issues it may be hiding.

Replace the weird bar thing with the normal rear lights and I'm sold. I would rock this every day.

It’s like a Autech Stagea for total lamewads.

I don’t think you would need to replace the rear lights, they appear to remain under that weird spoiler. Although, who knows what condition they would be in at this point.

I have slowly grown a love for tail light covers..

GTR (effectively) vs Legacy... that seems like a fair comparison...

(I get what you’re saying, but I don’t care)

They can look great, however, the one above just doesn’t look right to me.

These covers are still my favorite for this generation Legacy.

I didn't know it was a cover.
