Well, yesterday, but got the brake calipers put back together. Took a few days to get the new bolts, and then I had to wait for the weekend. Used a dab of blue LocTite and a torque wrench this time. While I had all four wheels off I cleaned them thoroughly front and back. Just for grins. 😁

... and Quickster2 skillfully steers this thread back onto the rails (even though I love a good side discussion about superfluous holes!!


That INTGET console armrest cover is one of the better looking ones I've seen:

INTGET Car Center Console Armrest Cover for Subaru Crosstrek

Alas ...it's not available in gray. My Canadian Outdoor edition has the 2-tone gray StarTex upholstery so I've been eyeballin' this gray neoprene console armrest cover:

Subaru Crosstrek 2018-2022 Neoprene Center Console Cover

However, between the two, the INTGET console cover appears to be a much more tailored fit. Thanks for posting.

Ha! My console cover hasn't been down since I bought the car. It's filled with junk!

I was a bit surprised how well it fit. Good quality piece. Much better than the fuse door bin that I ended up sending back because it did not fit well at all especially on the left side. Wife never understands fully why some of us are always fiddling with our cars and trucks. She'll 'fiddle" all day though with horse and gardening stuff. No harm meant in my comments. This add on though made sense.

I also bought the orange outlined rubber pieces that go in the bottom of all of the cubbies and cup holders. They are a nice addition and quiet up the bins.

The Grimmspeed License Plate kit I bought from the kind and generous wrxKWONDO arrived today and since I also picked the plates up, I installed the plates and Grimmspeed kit.

It all went as easy as could be until I blew a head gasket when I removed the front plate to discover that the bastards drilled into the bumper!

And a new unpainted front bumper is $320.

Much cheaper option would be to get bumperplugs. Made a world of a difference on mine.

It's not cheaper than free. Also, as noted, I was not referring to the holes that were already there, but that the dealership drilled two more holes in to the bumper which would have meant drilling the new holes out and getting a total of four bumperplugs.

Went to the dealership nice and early and dropped it off and their body shop guy filled in not only the hideous screw holes but they also filled in the OEM Japan holes as well. It looks freaking awesome!

After I finally made it home, since the weather and temps were cooperating, I Rain-X'ed the windshield.

Looks great! But you never "stated" anything about 4 holes, you said you removed the front plate and you "amazed" they drilled into the bumper lol. Filling in isn't an option at any the the dealers near me or most so never would've thought to recommend it.

Put 225/65R17 Falken Wildpeak AT Trail on Sport Wheels on our 2021 Limited and also bought a 17 inch wheel and a fifth tire for a spare.

Pretty happy with them! Ready to do somo rock crawling now!!! Nah, lol, just light off roading.

Shout out to @Discount Tire ! Thank you!

And to @Skatchkins who sold me his wheels! Thank you as well!!

Next projects: Crossbars, either basket or thule cargo box(I know everyone will say no😅) to put the spare tire in, skid plates, rain guards, side moldings, darker window tint and maybe an awning.

Man, wish I could do everything at once 🤣

A spare tire on the roof? That sure will kill your gas mileage.

I'm thinking of getting the Thule Motion Cargo box and putting it there. And of course that would only be for long trips, I won't be carrying it around all the time.

Actually I did state there were four holes right here:

I can't speak for dpc166, but I have four holes in my bumper. The two factory 5/16th holes that I was going to use the bumperplugs for, and two holes drilled by the dealership.

The dealership is going to pay for getting this fixed.

[edit] And by pay for I mean that they are eating the cost of the body shop correcting this horrible abomination of sheer stupidity of drilling into bumper. [/edit]

Good call on getting a full-size spare to match those 3.3%-larger-than-OEM Wildpeak AT Trail tires. You're pretty much committed now to doing 5-tire rotations should you ever have need to mount your spare tire.

Exactly!

But the tire is 2.9% bigger, so we're still barely under 3% 😅
