Also, if you're printing in ABS, make sure you can print in black as it is the most UV stable for outdoor use. Shapeways does a good job of quick turnaround on printed parts, and they do a number of different materials, including stainless steel. I have used their "strong plastic" on several parts and it has a lot of give which may work better for a snap-in piece like this trim clip seems to be. pressingonward, what do you do? It's always fun to find another CAD geek. I am an Industrial Designer, used to work for a sports equipment manufacturer in MI, then moved to CO a year ago and now work from home. (I don't want to hijack this thread, message me any reply)

Hey y'all, this is a weird way to introduce myself, but the subject "3D printing" caught my eye and I think I can help you out if you're interested. I don't have a printer, but I am a CAD guy and have several programs on my computer. Looks like Speedwagon is fairly close to me (5 hours or so). If you, or anyone on the forum has one of these trim pieces in good condition, you can send it to me and I'll model it in CAD, then send you the file for printing. I was just cruising the forum for info on these old Subarus as I've always thought they were cool and find myself needing a back up vehicle while I work on my truck for a while. Then I found this on CL near my neighborhood: http://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/4045458706.html Any reason I shouldn't go get it? (If it's still available, need to call them tomorrow) This seems like a really cool forum. I might hang around even if I don't get the wagon. Creating old obsolete parts would be fun.
