I am glad Redpoint5 linked Zerohour, I thought of that; he and I tried completely different things.

If you ever feel like a marine-wrap grill-block and air dam...

Rolled plastic might not be as complete, but it looks better.

As I recall, I averaged 27 MPG in Bacon, but there is only one entry in my fuel log! I swear I used that!

You know, I once read a great write-up on removing power steering...

I did not intentionally go off-roading, but I once ripped a hole in the skid plate. You may already know more about this than me, but I remember reading a write-up like this: SF Forester D.I.Y. Skid Plate - Subaru Forester Owners Forum
I just saw this today: https://www.reddit.com/r/subaru/comm...6n&sh=c8be56be
I really think this is the way to go, though, whatever it is: https://www.alibaba.com/product-deta...83186.html?s=p

Funny how the Quikvalve Mafia only comes out for Hondas. Have you considered putting a Fumoto on this car? Can I talk you into one for the low-low price of sending me a PM?

I never found a satisfactory way to cover the fog lights, although melting clear plastic to the back of the air dam would probably look better than attaching it to the front of the bumper.

It came without hubcaps? I like the stock wheels. I think they would look great powder-coated or something, but if you had wheel covers you could try the t-shirt method or something.
