idosubaru Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Outback front fenders have the gold cladding/trim/vinyl/sticker continuing up and around the wheel well. This trim/cladding on the outbacks and SUS, is it just a sticker over the paint? If it is just a sticker, would the paint underneath be in good condition? I need a front SUS fender but they're an oddball because they have the two tone paint scheme of the outbacks, but they don't have the cladding/trim continuing up above the wheel like the Outback wagon does. So I'm looking for a green fender I can affix the SUS cladding too. Either a green legacy fender or an Outback, which would require removing and leaving off the above the wheel sticker.

doc526 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 On my 97 OBW, the cladding is a sticker over the paint. I would think that if you dont see rust bubbles under the sticker then the fender would be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 i ended up using an OBW fender for the SUS. the OBW fenders have a painted gold stripe under the wheel well arch sticker that you can't see until the sticker is removed so it's not a perfect match for the SUS. it also needs one very tiny 5 inch long sticker that only the SUS has to continue the pin stripping up the side to be perfect. i attached a picture of the damaged fender before i replaced it and the after picture. the original (damaged) SUS fender picture is in this thread: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=122932&page=4 the repaired picture here on this thread is with the OBW fender is simply as-is - with just the wheel well arch sticker removed only. it was a fine option for me as SUS fenders are impossible to find and painting isn't desirable for me. i found a great OBW fender for only like $80 so it was a great fit for me.
