Looking for a source for (ideally painted) front bumper cover for '09 Forester 2.5X
Part No. would be great too.....or pointing me to a site with exploded view diagrams....with part numbers.
Thanks,
E

opposedforces.com for part numbers and diagrams

best to source from your local dealership. shipping charges kill any useful savings.

Go here...ChaplinsSubaruGenuineParts.com...they have an online parts catalog.

but no PNs. best to use both opposed and sgp together to get PNs and check MSRP.

Bumper covers come unpainted. Painting will add about $200 to the cost.

Ah yes forgot to mention that. Car manufacturers stop producing spare paint collision parts after a few years and your best option will be a primered bumper. Sucks, since nothing compares to factory paint!

 

[ddavidv]

Some manufacturers offer pre-painted parts for several years. Subaru has never offered pre-painted bumpers to my knowledge. The only car company that does with consistency is Volvo.

Even things like color coded door handles and mirrors usually come raw/unpainted, though some companies will offer them in colors until supplies begin to dry up.
