Hello I have been looking to buy few accessories for my Subaru Outback Premium:

They will also take Subaru Bucks, but you have to call them to place the order and let them know you are paying with Bucks. You mail them in referencing the order #, and they will then apply the payment to the order and then ship it out (or so they told me).
The best possible price on Subaru Splash Guards is $77 plus shipping. Way to much.
and the Subaru ski rack is actually Yakima Big PowderHound w/ Locks. This can be found with universal mounts for 120. Another way to same some money.
I think I will just buy floor mats for $45.
I made a list of all the accessories/add ons that I wanted on my car and used those in price negotiations, I knew the price that Subaru showed and the price which I could buy them for at other sites like the one listed above. I have the tools and know how to do any installations myself but obviously there is a price/convenience trade off between having the dealer do the installation of "bolt on" items, wind deflectors, splash guards etc and just putting the floor mats and trunk liner in.
Actually I didn't think the price on the splash guards was that high, I was thinking they were in the $50 range. But remember there are four sepatate molds involved to make them.

Two places I looked at had the 4-piece OEM all-weather mats at $47 or $48, but wanted over $20 for shipping. A third place had them for $49, but the shipping was only $11. (This third place warned me that they might be sending an e-mail after placing my order if add'l money was needed for shipping, but that I'd have the chance to cancel if that was the case. But they never sent such an e-mail, and so the total cost ended up being $8 or $9 less than the other two places.)
On my new Forester, I factory ordered the car and had the accessories included at the factory.
For floor mats, if the car did not come with them, I would not recommend Subaru mats at all. That is one accessory I did not get for my last couple cars. Instead, I purchased MacNeil WeatherTech FloorLiners, which are a far superior product. They are spendy (though shipping is extremely cheap in the contiguous 48 states), but worth every penny. The same company also offers an excellent quality floor mat similar in functionality to the Subaru product.
www.subarupartsoutlet.com for floor mats and splash guards .The price are $76.02 splash guards and $45.06 mats with shipping of $15.02. Cheaper than any other place I checked.
For the ski rack I have realized Subaru is using Yakima Big Powderhound & Locks, but clamps are sold separately.
So the best think is to by Yakima ski rack from
http://www.orsracksdirect.com/yakima-big-powderhound-ski-rack-locks-8003082.html-
free shipping and you can get 5% off if you use code "BONUS5". Total $113
The Weathertech floorliners provide much better protection, as they have "walls" that go up several inches on all sides, and also cover the under-pedal area and the dead-pedal. But they are $99 for just the fronts, and $159 for the fronts and backs (plus shipping), whereas the OEM mats are under $50 for four (also plus shipping).
If I lived in snow country I'd have sprung for the Weathertech liners. But since I am only dealing with snow when I drive up to Tahoe a few times a year, I went with the cheaper Subaru mats.
Actually, they'll see their first use on an upcoming road trip to Arizona (Grand Canyon, Sedona, and then Phoenix area), where hopefully they are acting as more of a dust and dirt guard (although there is always some chance of snow in northern AZ).
The WeatherTech mats are spendy, though. I decided to try them out a couple years ago with an '08 Outback (with the tan interior!) I was planning to own for only a couple of months during a long trip (and therefore wanted to keep it immaculate). Mainly, it was the protection around the sides of the footwells that drew me to them. When I sold the car a couple months later, with about 7,000 miles on it, the buyer could not believe it was even used, let alone by a four-person family! After that, I did not even consider the accessory mats when I picked up the new Forester.
Also, any feedback regarding the performance of the Remoter Starter would be appreciated. Thanks!
Also is kit something standard dimensions and if I can buy any other brand of speakers and be able to mount them?
When we took the car to the dealer, they first said one of the injectors was bad and it cost about $300 to replacet. However, the replacement didn't fix the problem. They then told us that we have a burnt valve and it will cost about $3,500 to replace it and the service manager asked me if I want to talk to the sales department for a trade-in. I ask him what could be the causes of this because we've followed all the maintenance schedule and haven't even pushed the car that hard, meaning the turbo wasn't even engaged most of the time. He said that he didn't know what might be the possible causes and it could just be one of those batch that has a bad valve.
This appears to me as a quality control issue. My question is: "Would we still have any possible discourse on a warranty replacement even though it's already past the 60K limit?" We tried calling 1800SUBARU3 but they were closed when we called. It appears that we're stuck with this one way or the other. Even if we decide to trade in, which we don't really intend to, they'll still take that $3,500 into consideration and will not be as flexible in negotiation knowing that we kind of have to buy from them. Any suggestions or comments will be most appreciated.
I would go back to 800-SUBARU3 and kill them with kindness. Be as nice as possible and see if they offer to help.
The specific accessories I am after are rear bumper cover and various bells and whistles for the trunk, like cargo nets etc.
Thanks much
There are several websites where dealerships sell parts at discounted prices, including 1stsubaruparts.com and subarupartsmall.com. These are OEM, not aftermarket, parts.
Do you still have the Hood Protector for sale?
