I think these are the same as the 2015 V bars but black so the rubber sleeve doesn’t look it pooped it’s pants.

I think they only have the intended result when combined with the flexible draw stiffeners. It's meant to be a complete set.

As of this morning there was only 1 complete set of those cherry blossom front/rear pieces unspoken for, then it'll go on backorder from Japan.

I ended up ordering from this site because shipping was slightly cheaper (for me). They accidentally ordered an extra set in case someone wants it without being on backorder:

https://www.subaruwarehousedirect.co...ing-j1210ca301
https://www.subaruwarehousedirect.co...ing-j1210ca401

Call Drew at 806-798-4000 ext. 361 to ensure you get it.

I’d grab this up if you’re looking for it. My order went trough at Subarugenuineparts and apparently there was only a few stateside.

The 1st set of links I posted (shipping from WA) that you clicked cost slightly more to ship to me than the 2nd set of links I posted (shipping from TX):

https://www.subaruwarehousedirect.co...ing-j1210ca301
https://www.subaruwarehousedirect.co...per-j1210ca401

That still may be expensive for you to ship from TX to NY. I'd look for parts websites based near your area. The parts may cost a little more than the two sites I posted (and definitely cheaper than dealerships) but shipping should be a lot less.

You can already find the draw stiffeners on Japan Parts. I don't see why they'd be different from the '18 model.

Because shipping is $50 for each item and it’ll take like 2 weeks to get. If there’s a USDM version I bet I could save some money. And the new versions are black with a black sti logo. I want as few visible sti logos on my car as possible.
