That sucks!! Interesting because I ran over a huge racoon going about 65 mph before I had my lip, but I hada 500 deductible on my comprehensive insurance. The racoon put a small hole in the bottom part of the bumper, but the damn insurance company was only going to pay for a cheap Chinese bumper, not a Subaru part. Long story short, I only got $180 for a $700 job.

So I looked around and noticed that front lip spoiler completely covers the small hole in my bumper. I just ordered that with the $$, and installed it myself. I kept my quality Subaru part and insurance paid most of a front lip spoiler. All I had to get besides that were those plastic bumper suports underneath that got smashed but they were cheap.

Yeah 2.5i's are begging for a spoiler and grill. It completely transformed my car. Love it. Much cleaner and sportier, especially in real life.. Pics look good, but real life these cars lok better than in pics I have noticed.
