Cost me $400 to get it fixed. The body shop Subaru recommended gave me an estimate of $700 for doing the exact same work. I hope the marks I had are not inevitable! They were pretty bad.

@Inextirpable What did you end up doing? Did you fix it using touch-up paint?

Thanks man, I'm pretty happy with them.

I always thought the stock taillights were the weakest part of the car. Originally I was going to do the redout or tint thing but as soon as I saw these I had to grab them

My first mod so far and I just ordered an armrest and shark fin antenna ... the addiction begins

Hard to say since I am coming off of 205/55 snow tires that couldn't do WOT pulls without engaging traction control

It was too big and deep for touch-up paint to be effective. I had to bring it to a body shop to get it repaired. I did however use touch-up paint on the small rock chip which can also been seen in the photos.

Installed the Zeta Performance Hood Dampers. Great stuff! Install was a PITA because I did not have an open end wrench but that is my fault. Anywho they are slow opening by themselves but beats the kick stand any day.
