We just put the 3M Xpel hood protector on our Marine Blue hatch.
I would put in a picture of it, but it looks the same as it did before putting on the film. I have had Xpel on my Element since 2003 and its done a good job, so we decided to go with it from the start on the Imp. I MUCH prefer the film to the deflectors. But thats just me.... |

I can't get over the side mirrors. Sorry I'm not sorry.

I dont think its for your own safety, Rather, a safety for pedestrians. I remember once some kid ran away from his parent across the street, and If i hadn't been paying attention and looking around, I would've never seen the kid cross, because his head was barely over the tip of the mirror and pillar..

I'm a Civic buyer. I love my new Imp in every way. I don't like anything about the old Imps. I think they were ugly, gas guzzling, unreliable, boi-ricer-mobiles and I never once considered buying one. I bet the next WRX will make the fanbois bust on themselves and not even blip my radar. I think I saw a post recently about Subaru "selling-out"... To each his own, right? |

No, you have a right to your opinion. It's just the snide remark about my statement of the 'critical area' that you speak of. You were just proven that the better visibility it provides is more than just my opinion.

Hey, its not Pontiac Aztec or Gremlin ugly.
I think the car looks way better in person than in photos, it is hard to get a sense of the proportions in the pics, the back end looks huge and boxlike, but in reality it isn't bad. I personally wonder why anyone would dump another $1,000 just to add all the plastic bits and the new grill -- OEM looks fine, and the external plastic does not make it any faster or more fun to drive -- but to each is own. In case it isn't obvious, how a car looks is not the first thing I care about. How about reliable, AWD, fun to drive, and now averaging 30mpg (on the dash, probably closer to 28.5mpg in reality). And a LOT can happen in 200,000 miles! You might find like me that you start to love how it looks, in every quirky way that makes a Subaru a Subaru (particularly a two tone subaru)... |

Maybe I'm alone here. But the looks of the car were the reason I bought it. I didnt even notice the mirrors when I bought it and I don't really understand why someone wouldn't like them. Oh well. Lol.

Not everything we add to the car has to make it faster or more fun to drive. Otherwise, why have leather seats? (why does the manual sport not get leather as an option?) why even put carpet in the car or interior plastic? |

We got lost of the "plastic" bits . . . front grille, underspoiler, rear spoiler, aero splash guards, side moldings . . . but we got them all for under invoice, so in the end it wasn't that much money at all . . . I have no problem spending a few hundred more if it makes the car look considerably better. No one will buy this car for the speed. So what's wrong with wanting to get 36mpg and look good doing it?

I'm glad people want to personalize their cars. Subaru is more than happy to encourage it as well. I like my OEM sport and the only extra external plastic I added were the side moldings because I thought it might protect the paint. If the aero splash guards actually looked like they did anything to protect the car I would have added those. Non-practical plastic isn't for me.

I just wish some of the plastic pieces weren't so damn much money. Something like a front lip spoiler should not cost 400-600 IMO. I'm hoping the aftermarket makes a trunk lip spoiler replica. That might be worth getting.
