Next plans are:
- WeatherTech mats for winter
- Do something about those front license plate holes
- Some kind of clean rear license plate frame
- Perrin trunk handle (because it's pretty weird there aren't any trunk handles)
- Subaru grocery hooks

Welcome to the forums, and nice looking car!
Maybe not quite what you are looking for, but a plate frame worth repping: http://www.westernsubaruclub.com/smf/index.php?topic=22742.0

Welcome to forum.

When you get this ... write some dimensions, I will make 3D drawings, and people can print it for cheap... :D

Looking into these pictures it brings memories 3 years ago when I got my car... :D

Not one for many words eh?  Thanks for posting pictures first :D  Welcome!  I agree with diamondedge, that front valence is aggressive.

Ha, that's actually true. This is my first non-euro car so I'm learning a lot. I've previously had a 2000 Golf 2.slow, 2007 GTI (stage 2+, intake/down pipe/fuel pump/apr tune/etc), 2010 Mercedes C300. I went boring and fancy for my last car so now I'm back to something sporty.

Good to know about that one. A bit more busy than I wanted. I'm leaning towards either the Subaru slim license plate frame in black:


Or a WeatherTech Plate Frame:


My ideal is the Subaru one with a 4 hole mount. I don't really want any logos/writing on it and ideally matte black/stainless so that it matches the black trim and weathers well.

Thanks, yeah, they're a super classic wheel IMO.

Welcome! You can get this from Crappy tire if you're looking for something low profile with a minimal look.

Yup that's exactly what I had before switching to the WSC frame. It's solid and has the 4 mounting points.

I may have Perrin frame somewhere in garage, if you want it let me know. And we will figure out how to get it to you.
I prefer car without LP frame... :D

Yeah I'm torn. Kind of leaning towards no frame now.
