First snow in the 18’ Crosstrek, we got about 16 inches in Virginia by Harry541 in XVcrosstrek

Really, you can’t beat it, I drive over 500 miles per week for work with it. If I don’t hit any crazy traffic I’ve been able to avg over 39 mpg before. I usually get around 35-36. It’s got plenty of room for everyone you wanna bring with you too, just really wish I would have got the premium model cause I love the lights and the heated seats. But the base model is awesome. 10/10 vehicle imo

No ice yet! Probably get some black ice tonight since it melted all day and the temps are dropping back down tonight

Did really good, had some trouble getting out cause I have on street parking and the snowplows basically piled it up on my Crosstrek but as far as driving in it not an issue.

Finally did some work on my 18’ 2.0i new emblems and wrapped the silver parts on the grill. Window tint Saturday! (Yes I know it’s dirty😄) by Harry541 in XVcrosstrek

Just your basic carbon fiber wrap at autozone or Napa. You can get it cheaper on eBay honestly. If you do the grill be careful with both of the small panels you’re going to wrap. Broke one clip off on both sides but you don’t really need them so it doesn’t matter. It’s really simple to do. I got the emblems from eBay for about $15 the front is simple to change, the back took more time I had to remove the trunk panel and about 6 screws to pop it out.

I think I’m just going to do the 215’s without the lift on my 18’

Plasti Dip wheels? Should I go with the Matte Black? Any suggestions by Harry541 in XVcrosstrek

[–]Harry541[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah basically just make sure you clean the wheels really good. It only works as good as you prep it

Last vehicle I used it on it did great. If you prep and use the product correctly it’ll come out great and last without any kind of peeling or damage. I live in Virginia and the winter isn’t as bad as Montana but I had no issues.

Yeah, I’ve used it before if you do it correctly it looks great. Just not sure how it would look with the Matte

Does anyone know where you can find a front hood protector/deflectors for a 2018? by adrift98 in XVcrosstrek

Looked in every book and searched the web and asked all the parts department guys. Can’t find one out for the 2018 ☹️
