awesome, thanks a bunch.

 

so the process is to peel the sticker, treat the rust, install new sticker? that sounds easy enough. (nightmare coming.....)

 

 

I think i will be a gentlemen in this and let you go first :).

Sigh, oh ok i will order the stickers this week and start the process. i don't owna heatgun so i will have to figure something out about that, as i dont own a hair drier either.

 

 

nipper

did i miss something - i thought he said soapy water, slide it into place then let it dry?

 

you're supposed to heat gun it?

 

it's summer time, how about just park it outside facing the sun on a sunny day?:lol:

It's a sticker. Blu is a 96-99 outback. They have a sticker in that area. It's an easy fix.

 

Here in rust land they all do that.

 

where can i get the sticker?

I order them from the local subaru dealer. I'm sure you could order them from one of the online dealers as well.

YAY i found the stripes, 102.00 for the entire side, odd how the gold stripe is 50.00 more then the plain stripe. Makes me wonder if it is gold leaf.

 

 

nipper

part number??

 

i remember reading that you had to buy the whole side, and i was surprised when i found a part number for just the one piece.

  • Author

The left side stripe kit (J1210AS091) lists for $72.53 and costs $58.02.

 

That is for gray with a gray stripe, The limited with the gold stripe is 102.00/160ish list. We were all suprised how much more the gold stripe was.

UpdateL

 

Took off the stripe today (and broke a freaking trim peice in the porcess).

 

Blu has super minimal cancer under the strips. So little that mabe a tablespoon of body puter and treatment will fix it. in this case the bubbling made it look far wors then it actually is.

 

 

Now i need that dumb trim peice.
