Thanks. Yeah, changing seasons can be expensive if you do it right...I am doing everything else, I should have just taken my spoiler off...oh well, not sure I will replace it now.
I've been very careful this season, my first winter, with my RavSpec PU lip on my slightly (approx. 1-inch, all-around) dropped BL-Legacy.
I have, though, already taken it - albeit not intentionally - through situations where I suspect that a FRP lip would not have survived.
But I also think that as time goes on, I might get more careless.
Don't get me wrong, I know how to drive a lowered car...I come from well over a decade's worth of seat-time behind some rather slammed-to-the-ground DSMs....it's just that I think, I'm getting more callous to things, having driven cars with higher ground clearances as of the last half-decade.
ive been worried about the same thing with all this snow. it is the main reason I haven't gone out yet, not cuz i doubt my subi's capabilities I just like my front lip. it might be worth filing an insurance claim and getting a real fsti front lip and maybe even painting it like XT666 has
Yikes. I need to get moving on my experiment with the 06-07 WRX/STI S204 replica lip (going to try to see if it can be reasonably custom mounted to 03-05 FSTI and FSXTs). Maybe that'll serve as a cheap and replaceable part.
Except every time I find a guy selling them, he's either too far or gets yanked by the mods for trying to be a vendor lol. All I need is a meet up to test fit!
Not sure what I will do yet but here are some crappy crackberry shots of my lip...doesn't look bad from afar at rest (except at an angle when you see like through the gap)...on the highway at speed I have no idea:
Yep, but hopefully less than what fastwrx charges. The beauty of the PU reps all over nasioc is that they're less than $100. We won't have that kind of pricing due to much lower demand but it would be nice to be close.

Currently, we own 3 Foresters and 1 Outback. I also bought 2 other Outbacks previously. So that gives you an idea how loyal to Subaru we are.
This weekend we had a serious problem.
The newest Forester Touring we bought last end of June burned to a crisp.
Subaru, I think you have a problem. I...
Hello Everyone,
A couple weeks ago I was part of a 3 car crash ending up with my car being rear-ended. Instead of hitting my car directly into the bumper, her smaller sedan went under mine and the main impact was to the underside of my forester. This was the damage I have found so far:

So I purchased my 2019 Forester a little over a month ago, haven't even broken in the engine yet, and yesterday, as I was in the turn lane at a stoplight heading to work, I crept forward, and stopped because of traffic, and the car behind me crept forward and didn't stop. Thankfully it was just...

Hey everyone,
Been a while since I’ve been on here and I’m back with some crap news. Got rear ended for the FOURTH time in my 2015 fozz XT on Friday... but this time it’s not just a bumper cover like the other times.
So I’m sitting at a red light when I look in my rear view (habit now after...
