Grandma's Subaru
if it is a '81 GL 4wd, it will have the ea81 and would have the large rectangular headlights with turn signals on the outside part of the headlight bezels.... like this here... http://www.indysworld.com/80s/general/literature/brochures/1981-f.jpg the Subarus of the 80's page (link near top of the forums) is a good page for varying information on the old soobs, but this forum will be the best resource you could ever find.... welcome!

mcbrat replied to mcbrat's topic in 1990 to Present Legacy, Impreza, Outback, Forester, Baja, WRX&WrxSTI, SVXthe STi floormats are nice plus they match my interior. the generic mats were too big, bunching up and with the cold weather, the stiffness was annoying... plus I really like the built in "stay" feature that holds the mats in place!
