Shoud I go with the chrome/polished fender trim?
 

Hey guys, I'm about to place an order for the car... in literally like 2 hours. I'm going with dark grey metallic. Should I go for the chrome/polished fender trim? Can't decide from looking at the pictures and have never seen this option in person. What would you recommend?

no! I think it looks horrible, but even if you like the look, it's only a sticker so you can probably get it cheaper from a shop that does full body wraps.

I would avoid... This color doesnt mesh all that great with chrome accents imho.

I honestly love it. It reminds me very much of Aston Martin fender vents. They have a polished metal piece in the middle. But whatever your decision, go ahead and order without it. You can get it after the fact for ~$80, which is less than the dealer will charge since they charge labor to install it. To install you just peel and stick. Seriously. So take your time deciding, but if you like it order it after the fact.

It depends. The headlights and tail lights already have chrome in them. Dark Gray has metallic flakes. I like it on my Crystal Black Silica, but that's because it breaks up the look a bit on the sides. It looks terrible on Galaxy Blue and Red, in my opinion.

Because it comes right off, I say go for it and challenge yourself to enjoy it for at least 4 weeks.

I didn't get it because it would have been the only chrome... If there was more then yeah, but without any other chrome it looks out of place.

I think the chrome fender trim looks better on the dark colored cars than it does on the lighter colors like white and silver.

Much more noticeable, which is the whole point.

You'd better hurry! This thread just started


Not taking orders for anymore?
Anyone else heard this from the dealers? I was told by two dealers that they are not taking anymore orders and that even if they could you can not pick the color. You can only get what is already in the pipeline. The guy I was working with even said he wants a white one and works for Subaru and could not order one. The $500 down only saves your price.

Thanks for all the input. BTW, I ended up going with the chrome trim.

The dealer took the order without a problem. However, another dealer I talked to did say I may have to wait until May for delivery.

The chrome fender trim looks great IMO; the body colored trim doesn't look like it really belongs. I say go for it.

I ordered the chrome fender trim for my SWP. Think it's a classy touch.

I bought my trim afterwards and stick them on. I have the same "looks good" question before but not any more after look around. If you check out all other car manufacturers and their models has this similar fender design, most of them come with chrome. From BMW to KIA, including a Chevy dont know what model little car i spot this morning, all chrome trim. The moment I stick that on I immediate noticed the car is "completed", my only question is why Subaru leave that out? To save $20 cost?
