CarolW Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 HI. I've driven the Legacy, am impressed and I'm considering buying a Legacy 2.5i Premium. The Premium model does not come with some of the options I'd like. The dealer is offering to install the following for me: -Remote Start -Foglights -Auto dimming mirror -Rear bumper applique (is this worth buying?) -All weather floor mats -Alloy wheel locks Will these add-ons be the same as if the car came with them already installed to the dealer? Is there anything else I should know, like making sure I get genuine Subaru parts for the remote, foglight install? (is it possible they'd use after market parts?) Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thank! Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 The fog lights are almost certainly the same, it comes in an accessory kit from Subaru with all the mounting brackets and such. Ditto with the auto-dimming mirror. Ask about the remote start. The Subaru system isn't awesome. Depending on the brand and installer, if they're going aftermarket could be considerably better. We have a great local installer that deals with Compustar systems, and we contract through him for many of the customers at the dealership where I work. The bumper applique is nice. It's a really thick, tough clear vinyl sticker that goes on the top of the rear bumper, to keep the paint from getting scratched when loading and unloading the trunk. Only you can know how likely you are to damage the paint, and how much you'd be willing to spend to protect it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idosubaru Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 what he said. dealers dont' generally install aftermarket parts. many new cars parts are aftermarket. Subaru (as with any manufacturer) contracts out to companies to make many parts - under their auspices, design, and engineering spec's. A legacy is generally equipped with one wiring harness - so any availbable option can be bolted on and plugged into any legacy, even if it's not equipped. it's all gnerally the same stuff, just bolted on in a different zip code.
