The Forester definitely looks more modern with the smooth panels. Love the content Cody, your making me want to trade my Hardtop Solara for a Forester XT lol
watched this video a few weeks ago and had no idea they swapped that easily. got myself some ‘07 side skirts and front door panels, need the back door panels and fender pieces still though. gonna try and put the rear emblem trim piece on my hatch as well. good video thanks for the inspiration ✌🏽
Do you need the little spats between the rear door and the wheel well to blend with the door panel, or the side skirt. Cuz the stock spat looks like it will fit the facelift panels fine but idk
Cody!! Just got a set of smooth door panels for my 04! But quick question... why exactly do you need to swap out the small piece at the end of the rear doors? I didn't get those with my smooth panels 😣
The smooth side panels are slightly wider than the other ribbed ones. So if you run the smooth side panels, you need to run the small rear pieces that match the width of the panels to make it look right
@@Ramun_Noodles thanks for the infost! I have a slight assumption, that I also need the side skirts from the facelift model - is that right, or do you run the old ones?
Why rotella they stop putting a certain additive..SAE is not right..saw another youtuber and he got DAM code but I can be rong .guy explained why not to use..just wondering I care bout subarus but majority Foresters
Ehhh for me and how I see it is it’s what I’ve ran for 3 years, haven’t had a issue yet. I’ve thought of switching to motul or amsoil but for now I haven’t had a issue, a lot can go into a DAM issue but there was probably something else going on

Keep the videos coming 👍🏽 just bought a 2004 forester MT a week ago and have been watching your videos non stop.
Hell yeah! They are such a perfect all around vehicle!
Wow, I didn’t realize how nice this looks. Makes me want to build an 06 like this. I love the look of those JDM skirts too!

Dang. I have a hard time finding those up here in AK. I think the 06-08's were not as popular here for some reason.
Did you ever do a video on your headlight retrofit?

I’m taking notes! Love this build
What headlight do you have?

Did he reply?
@user-ou8vr3jo4z he didn't but I figured it out on my own. Essentially yes you need the small pieces that go at the ends of the smooth rear panels.
Are they different? Whats the difference? I have the panels and the rear pieces...

Just got the notification but yay new content!
so wont work on a 03 forester?
Cody! I have NT03's 18x9.5 +40 on the way. What tyre specs do you recommend?
255/35/18!
@@CarsAndCody thank you 🙏🏼 🙌🙌🙌
How did I not know these can come off? Time to push that dent out
You selling the old ones I have an 05 that are black
Why the small pieces??? Aren't they all the same from 02-08?
Some smoked fog lights to match the headlights would look great! I highly recommend Morimoto.
lol I have an 08 that I want to put the ones with the body line ON
Hahaha find a 04-05 friend!
@@CarsAndCody hi do you have a video about the oil pick up?
Where can I get these
Headlights ?
hello ... thank you ...interesting ... but take care no water behind now ...
How much for me to be able to order some? 👀 Willing to burn a paycheck or two for that.....
I have the same exact paint code for my lil fozzy.....
Cody want to sell me the ones you took off ?
Shoot me a message if really interested!
Gorgeousness
