MilesFox Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) I like the lower doors with Woody Grain, and also on road wheel spokes. What are you using?? Is it sticky wood grain contact vinyl that you cut, and stick on, then press out the air bubbles under the contact vinyl?? I am using straight up con-tac shelf paper, applied with soapy water and sqee'd out with a credit card and trimmed with a razor blade. About 8 bucks for a roll from home depot will do up a whole wagon top and bottom Edited August 11, 2014 by MilesFox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilesFox Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 So the left rear strut blew out and puked oil everywhere. Now, before i heat the seach button, off hand, i can't remember if the spring or the strut is different between forester. I would like to go for the taller option when replacing it.

About 8 bucks for a roll from home depot will do up a whole wagon top and bottom I love the Woody look on your Subie. I did something similar years back on a full size Pontiac wagon I had. The Woody grain factory vinyl was peeling off the car badly. I applied the contact paper just as you have done. It looked pretty good for a couple of years, but by then UV from sunshine had begun bleaching the color out of the contact paper. I fixed by reapplying fresh contact paper, which isn't that difficult to do. Suggest you stock up on the Woody grain contact paper for future use. Otherwise, it will be your luck that the store won't sell the brand, or color of contact paper you have used in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 The Forester springs are different (Stiffer/Taller) than the Outback springs. So yes, Forester springs will be the way to go on your factory Outback struts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLoyale Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 You could always take all the struts off the Trashwagon as those are new KYB GR-2 outback struts with new Forester springs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetteLizard Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 NGK for the win! Never could go wrong with them. Find NGK wire set on ebay, it will be about $10 cheaper than any parts house. Most have free shipping. I found NGK wires on ebay for my 97 Subaru Legacy Outback for 10$ less than what Autozone wanted for Bosch wires!!!!!!!
