FE-CROSSTREK Finished End Body Side Molding Compatible with Subaru XV Crosstrek - Magnetite Gray Metallic (P8Y)

Matched paint color perfect! Perfect fit for the car. Great quality. Instructions were easy, but as far as placement on the car it was a little ambiguous. Find examples of other cars, use a plumb bob to see where the door sticks out the most and just go for it.

Using blue painters masking tape as advised in the instructional guide to mark the top line, I also put a few pieces of tape on the top edge of the bumper guards and taped them in place. Then I used the blue painters tape to define the bottom edge and the angled leading/trailing sides, and removed the temporarily placed bumper guards. By doing this, I had a "bleed guard" to contain the provided liquid deglosser from extending beyond the actual bumper guard edges and dulling the paint. The installation was a snap, and they look factory OEM installed. Very pleased with product and would be a repeat customer.

Wilderness cladding does not interfere with the product. The directions are not terribly helpful on placement-- so I used painters tape to try out where I wanted to put the molding. I checked it against the impact points of my wife's car when the kids swing open the doors ... and attached my molding there. Fits well. Very high quality. Perfect paint match. Appears very durable.

Packaging was bulletproof! Item itself, amazing! High quality, easy to install. I've got today, already is installed on my car! See yourself..

I think this is a great addition. It helps break up the side view and add some protection. The color black was perfect. Installation is very easy and works well, if you take your time. My only issue is the double sided tape doesn't hold the ends down, very well.

Long story short. I searched everywhere!! Found an example on a Subaru blog site, clicked the link and it brought me to this gem. We have a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek in Sunshine Orange, love the color but the matte black bumper guard does break up the color quite nicely and matches the rest of the trim. To be honest I had it installed profesionally. Subaru wouldn't do it...non OEM. Brought it to Maple Collision Cherry Hill, NJ. Suggested by Subaru. It tool less then 10 minutes. Looks Great!! I have also added a Curt roof rack and corner bumper guards.

What can I say, this product is fantastic! Shipping was super fast; packaging was outstanding; the instructions were well written and also featured photos; and literally everything you need for installation is included except for some masking tape. The entire installation took less than 20 minutes per side and the color matching looks like they came on the car from the factory. In other words, perfect. If these ever get dinged up, which I’m sure they will… I will definitely buy another set from this manufacture! I am a very satisfied customer.

Good product, looks great!
