Haha yeah, the parking brake is probably a bit tight. I just yank up on it and leave it where it sits, not trying to get it as tight as possible. I never use them on my other automatic cars so I want to make sure the manual doesn't go anywhere.
Front plates are required here in TX so the fact that they predrilled the holder isn't a big deal to me. I've run for a while without one on my FJ Cruiser w/ tube bumper without issue, but my friend has gotten pulled over for not having one in his Supra. The TX plates are very clean these days (white with black text, no color or logos) so it should look alright.
The dealer claimed Subaru redesigned the fuel pump for 2015 and that as long as I use premium fuel I shouldn't have the chirp. We shall see.
Another photo after getting it tinted. 30% in the front (limit is 25%) and 15% in the rear so I can still see out the rear window at night.
