Thanks for the eye opener. I knew that's something that had to happen eventually. I just nearly tore it off a couple days ago, so with that incident plus your comment, skid plate is batting 1.000.

Our Foresters never leave the road, so we run our Foresters with no engine under covers. If we were into off roading, we'd have a metal skid plates. :smile:
This afternoon was a busy one with all the work on the Foz. It was time to finally give Roo the wash and wax he deserved, so my first stop was over at Target to pick up some car washing stuff and finish off my car wash product selection.
My products:
1. Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo and Conditioner
2. Meguiars Clay Bar
3. Meguiars Quik Detailer
4. Meguiars Cleaner Wax
5. Meguiars Hot Shine Tire Spray
6. 5 Microfiber Shammy's
7. Microfiber Wash Mit
8. 2 Wax Applicator Pads
9. Red Bucket
I spent about 3 hours in a muggy Georgia afternoon first washing, then claying, then waxing every square inch of the Foz. It was brutally humid and tiring but I couldn't be happier with the end results. A quick onset thunderstorm forced me to zip into the garage, but sometime tomorrow, I'll freshen'er up with some Quik Detailer and hit the tires again, and I'll make some real pictures.

Then I wiped the wax right off my bumper and put the new bumper cover on...
That bumper cover looks good on the dark gray bumper! I didn't care for it on my WRB bumper, so when I had the bumper skin replaced, I opted to leave it off. I figure if my bumper gets scratched up, then I'd add the bumper cover. :wink:

Yeah, it seems to match really well on the gray. I figured with a lawn mower rolling in and out of that cargo area twice a week, it would be stupid not to have it. Resultingly though, it looks awesome. Function>Form? Nah.
Yeah, it's pretty darn shiny. You'll have to take my word for it. The "chrome" paint on the badge was falling off and it just looked like crap. And yes, when we bought the car, I mentioned that I loved everything about the car, but was disappointed about the badge. The dealer really wanted me to leave happy so they filed an order for a new one - free of charge. :biggrin:
Hi, new member here.
Not our first sube, we had a tribeca for 9 years and a B4 Liberty (Legacy) for 9 years prior to that. We are embarking on the Forester journey, and trust we'll be happy in 9 odd years time.
We already have a 4wd (Ford Ranger) so no need to do much at all to this one. I...
Today was a big day for my Foz so I figured it was a good time to finally start a journal thread.
I bought my Forester in June of '07. I had been looking for quite some time at wagons and compact SUVs and had narrowed it down to a few choices. Two of the choices were the Legacy wagon and the...
For a few years my dad and I have thrown around the idea of starting a project together - we finally pulled the trigger on an '05 FXT 5spd.
I previously owned a VF34 powered 2007 WRX wagon with a 6spd swap (the Stealthwagon) that I had a lot of fun with - feel free to check my build thread over...
I had driven my little Mazda3 until the wheels almost literally fell off. I didn't want to let it go, it was the best car I'd ever owned in terms of driveability. But at 135,000 miles, with a growing family, and facing over $5,000 more in various repairs than she was worth (including a broken AC...
I've been wanting a second car to enjoy and wrench on for awhile. Saved up the cash and went to look at a few miatas but there was a cheap running and inspected 130k mile auto 05XT locally that kept catching my eye, After some shenanigans with a Miata seller, I decided to go look at this 05XT...
