Pre and post facelift? Whats the diff?

Post by grampswrx »

Does anyone have two legacies, a pre and a post facelift that they could take a picture of together? I can't really tell the difference.

Thanks.

Most of the changes are the front and rear ends. Notice the shape of the headlights and bumpers

The terms pre & post facelift come from the changes in the front end, though there are other differences.

The silver facelift model with the gold wheels has an aftermarket front bumper.

Biggest thing you'll notice is the headlights and tail lights, but the front bumper, hood, and fenders are different as well, probably among other things.
