The dealership does not currently have the exact car I am interested in (2013 Subaru Outback Limited), so I will be ordering one. If I add wheel arch molding and side molding to the car, do they get installed at the factory or in port? If in port, where is this done for cars headed to Washington State dealerships? What is the process used to prep the car for installation of this type of accessories? I just want to make sure that, by choosing these options, I don’t risk subjecting the paint to harsh auto car washes or brushes.

I know when I worked at a Subaru dealership, the "factory" add ons were installed at the dealership by the ASE Master techs. Everything from moldings to short shifts and exhausts.
