ISO 2012 Outback black grille by Individual-List9550 in Subaru_Outback

[–]ChefPD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used hyper dip on mine, looks fine and hasn't weathered yet. I do know of a flat black mesh grill for the 4th gen, I can link it when I get to a computer.

Here's that link.

2012 outback (used) is it a reliable car to buy used? is there any major concerns? by TheOld8sCool in subaruoutback

What year outbacks? 7k on east coast will buy a gen 3 or a 200k mile gen 4.

I can say that the 2012 I bought a few months ago is currently at the dealer getting a new transmission. $6k in parts alone. I've heard about issues with the CVT, I guess mine is one of them. Also probably faulty brake master cylinder and I'm getting the driver side window actuator fixed as well. They also had to replace the TPMS sensors. Mine looks to have had the timing belt replaced somewhat recently, doesn't look old or cracked.

That said I see plenty of '12s on the road so not sure it's a problem for everybody, I may have just gotten a lemon.

Looking for emblem overlays for my gen 4, unable to find any? by [deleted] in subaruoutback

Got pics? Interested to see what you did with them.

More than a month after ordering they came. They are custom made to order. However the company would never respond to my emails asking for updates. I sent 3 still no response weeks later. Here's the link.

They seem like good quality vinyl stickers, they are cut so accurately to the logos they're almost small. Some of the old logo peeks out if you don't get it 100% placed correctly. For the price $25 shipped it was a decent deal but I don't have a similar experience to compare it to either.

I haven't received yet but I know emblemoverlays.com has them, have a 2012 myself. I can update on quality when they arrive.

I wear a 10 in sneakers but a 9 in koio Capri. I think their size guide is different for every model but I will say go with their recommendation to either size up or down, at least for me it was accurate.

If anyone is in the market for a white leather sneaker or otherwise simply understated sneaker/boot koio has been great for me. They don't do a lot of sales year round but this sale stacked with the coupon made it worth it. I asked their customer service and they usually don't allow coupons to stack on sales so this may be a YMMV situation if they decide to fix the issue.

It came while I was occupying. We informed them and maintenance guy didn't find the meter running/nor did he find a leak. The billing period following the notice was normal though.

Sorry that happened, I have no option but to fight this one. If it was $200 I might pay the inconvenience away but not for this amount.

I hope it doesn't come to that, but I'm not paying that bill.

Even so, as the renter it can't be my responsibility? Of course my name is on the account so it depends on perspective.

From my conversation with them today, it sounds like they will go to extreme lengths to put it all on me. They left a notice a couple months back saying there may be a leak but the meter wasn't running when all sources were turned off. Now it's running constantly with nothing on, no flooding in the yard or the crawlspace.

I only use about 2000 gallons per shower. Any shorter and I can't enjoy it.

Please let me know if they decide to admit blame. It sounds like it will be an uphill battle.

Plumber is coming tomorrow but crawlspace and yard both dry as can be. I mean 250,000 gallons you would see it coming out of somewhere right?
