gibjer Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) Traded it in, decided I wanted something more engaging again, was really hoping that we’d get at least something out of the aftermarket for these cars. My ‘05 LGT is still one of my favorite cars I’ve owned, figure the new WRXs are about the same size so it should be good to go. http://jmaigroup.com/subarus/img/subaru14.jpg Edited May 27, 2021 by gibjer '20 Legacy XT Touring 13 Subarus and counting: http://jmaigroup.com/subarus/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caddygti16v Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Looks great, was the grille piece a pain to wrap? I have the chrome delete on the way but will try and wrap the grille as well. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk It took a try or two (being fairly new at wrapping stuff), but it wasn't too hard. What do you mean when you say you "have the chrome delete on the way"? Are you referring to the Crux kit for the chrome on around the windows and on the mirrors? '21 Limited XT Subaru Ambassador since 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caddygti16v Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 Tried to wrap the grille piece but the area around the emblem is stupid to get right. Also the crease between the upper and bottom part makes it a challenge. Pulled it back off, looked sloppy. I noticed my chrome fog light trim is bubbling, "great quality". [emoji849] Going to give the good old plasti dip a shot. Sent from my Pixel 2 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[emoji849] Going to give the good old plasti dip a shot. Sent from my Pixel 2 using TapatalkYea, it was quite challenging for me to do as well being new to vinyl. It was probably the 3rd try at cutting out the right shape when I finally got it. I then used the backing from the right hand side vinyl as a template for the left. It's not perfect, so eventually, I'll probably buy another sheet of vinyl and do it again. Next time, I think I might cut up a piece of poster board as a template. I've also considered using Plasti-dip as that worked well on the grill of my 2018 Forester XT.

Sent from my SM-G781V using TapatalkThanks, I never even thought about using a template, just slapped it on there and tried to cut it out right haha. I'll have to give it another try sometime. The Crux chrome delete worked flawlessly, went way faster than I thought. The vinyl they use is fastly superior than the "vvivid" brand it seems.

LBSypher Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 The chrome pieces have two screws and several snap fittings. I can take a picture and post it if you'd like. You will have to take the whole cover off to get to it. That's held on by a plastic screw and a bolt that are also holding the fog light in and another metal screw is behind the bumper cover. You'll need the car on ramps / jacked up so that you can get the panel under the bumper out of the way and get your arm up and behind the bumper.
