Shape and size-wise they look almost identical and at half the cost, I'm pretty tempted. I might just bite the bullet and go for them...

Tell me about it, mate! The whole thing went as follows: I'm in the driver's seat, he's at the window. I see him go to put his hand up to lean on them. I think to myself, "maybe I should tell him not to lean on them in case they brea..." SNAP! Knowing how rare they are, it's safe to say I was pretty devastated. I found a pair on Japan Parts for £150, but, as you say, once you factor in shipping at £148 + customs, tax etc, you're looking at £350+. I have found these though: http://www.hicusastore.com/subaru-forester/side-visor-forester-08-12-xetz2 what're your thoughts?

So, my other half's father just accidentally snapped my super rare, extremely difficult to find OEM one piece wind deflectors on my SF5 STi. I'm here in the vain hope that somebody here knows where I can get some replacements? Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately it's not the rarer type M, it's the auto, which is a pretty rare car in itself to be fair. Not sure of numbers though. It came with all the same trimmings as the Type M (red stitches on wheel, sti speedo cluster, interior etc) and internal upgrades only minus the 5sp manual gearbox. The previous owner has had it remapped so it pulls like a train!

Mine is a 2001 post facelift SF5 which has the different front and rear end (squarer lights and grill) than yours. I actually prefer the look of yours, it's far more aggressive, but it was a little out the price range. Going by pictures on the web, the load area inside the car looks to be the same shape. I guess I'll need to try them out and see. Yeah, the pull out cover for the load bay. I also think that the connection points in the boot are the same but I'd probably need to see the SG next to the SF to compare. How long have you owned your STi? Are there any places you'd recommend for parts?

Cheers Dave! Nice motor yourself. Perhaps you could help me with a query: How similar is my boot space to yours? I'm attempting to get myself a boot liner, dog guard and tonneau cover but finding it more difficult to come across ones for the 97-02 (SF) cars compared to the early 02-04 (SG). Please excuse me if I've got the models/years wrong, I'm still learning ;)

I've just recently purchased my first Subaru and thought I'd make my way around the various boards and chime in with a quick hello, showing off the ol' boy in the process. Looking forward to contributing and using the forum. Cheers!
