05 GT LTD Owner Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 Auto Ventshade has put up a part # for the '05 GT Sedans. I'd love to get the Subaru Factory ones, but knowing them, it'll be a few more months before it is available to us here in the USA. :eek: Just like the Mud Guards, that took them over 6 months to even acknowledge, SOA has dropped the ball on this one too. :eek: I've never seen the Subaru ones in person, but from the crappy photos I have seen, they look a little too small for me. And over $120.00 for importing them is out of the question. Enjoy! Go get 'em. $48.00, more or less. http://img19.exs.cx/img19/8276/untitled15qg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon05GT Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 i went to the website, but there is no picture w/ the rain guards on the LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj808 Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I have them on my LGT. Bought them as options straight fm the dealer. Here is a horrible phone pic. Might show it a little. Dont ask for pricing due to the fact that i got them for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05 GT LTD Owner Posted March 29, 2005 Author Share Posted March 29, 2005 I honestly don't see a thing in that picture above. Would someone like to "Highlight" it for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 If it's what I think you're talking about, look at the top of the windows. There is a black strip for rain runoff. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnaby Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Discreet, I'll admit. Do they really work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brio11 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Yes, they are stock on almost all JDM cars for a reason. #1 - most all japanese people smoke and need the window to be cracked #2 - when the window is cracked the wind noise will be reduced if installed properly #3 - when it's raining rain will not drip inside.

PGT Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Are the aftermarket ones really that small? I have the JDM ones like the ones in the pic.....I had to point them out to 'B4_Maniac' today when he was checking out my car. Subtle is good.

PGT Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 3M doublestick and metal retaining clips that fit under the rubber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnaby Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Argh! I went to Google to find them and couldn't! Could somebody post a link so I can buy these things? April showers and all that? Thanks for this great thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnaby Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 oh yeah, and how is that they're 4 piece? the ones in the picture are two piece, aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brio11 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 oh yeah, and how is that they're 4 piece? the ones in the picture are two piece, aren't they? They have to be 4 piece... you have 4 doors Otherwise if it was one piece front to back how would you open the doors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parousia Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 These do not attach to the doors at all...... do they? I thought these were attached to the body above the windows... Does anyone know if the Wagon version is the same as the Sedan? Parousia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis008 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 They are attached to the body, not the doors (due to the frameless window/door design). Wagon version should be similar. -ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGT Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Wagon version is two pieces.....they mount to the trim above the windows. Very subtle and effective......I forget they are there except that I don't have wet seats when I get into the car when it's raining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brio11 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Oop, you're right, the rainguards are attached to the body for the Legacy since it has no window frame. My car has a window frame, my conclusion was premature Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGT Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 look bigger than the oem ones +1 To each his own, but that is exactly the look I was avoiding by spending $225 on the JDM ones. I needed the functionality, but didn't want the big plastic look. Here is a pic of my car with the JDM ones mounted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babeatto Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 The OEM ones are definitely smaller. Here's mine. You can barely see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
