PRE-ORDER: 2002 - 2007 (GD) Impreza Lightweight Front Bumper Beam Version 2.0

This is a pre-order to get one of the first batch of newly redesigned Lightweight Front Bumper Beams.  I am only planning to order ~20 Front Beams and I expect them to be finished and ship to customers around mid-January, 2025.

I have made a few design improvements that I have been wanting to do for quite a while now.  Changes from the previous version include:

• Additional structure was added in the tow hook mounting area
• The center section of the beam is made of slightly thinner material to save a bit more weight but an additional flange/wall was added to the back side so overall strength/rigidity is actually slightly increased
• Tow Hook is now Red Anodized Aluminum for additional weight savings when the tow hook is mounted (like track days)
• Bolts for the Tow Hook are slightly smaller/lighter and are now Zinc-plated for better corrosion protection

The Oswald Performance Lightweight Front Bumper Beam is a direct replacement for the stock beam on your 2002 - 2007 Impreza.  It weighs 5.6 lbs (compared to 27.75 lbs for the USDM beam and 10.5 lbs for the JDM beam) and it offers far more crash protection than the JDM beam which consists of a single steel tube.  It also comes complete with a removable, red anodized, Aluminum tow hook for track events or any towing needs.

Dropping 22 lbs from the very front of the Impreza chassis has an extremely noticable effect on the car's handling performance.  Understeer is reduced and turn-in is quicker and more precise.  The car feels more eager to change direction.  Although less noticable, the weight reduction will also subtly increase the car's acceleration and decrease tire and brake wear.

For Off-Highway use only.

Note: This bumper beam is not compatible with most Front Mount Intercoolers.

Design Features:

• Weighs 5.6 lbs without the tow hook (Stock beam weighs 27.75 lbs)
• Constructed of TIG Welded 5052-H32 Aluminum Sheet
• Allows fitment of the larger JDM Foglights on 2004 - 2005 models
• Works with the stock foam energy absorber
• Included Tow Hook is easily installed for track events or any towing needs (Minor trimming of Bumper Skin is required on 2004 - 2005 models)
