new part order by cityfisher

My 2006 subaru outback sport was hit by someone at night while it was parked in a parking lot. The SOB ran away without leaving anything but some glass on the ground probably from the headlight of his car. The fender of my car is totally destroyed. The bodyshop is going to order a new fender from subaru and put it on. Do you guys have an idea how much the reasonable charge would be and how long this would take. My car is made in Japan, where will the ordered part be shipped from? Japan or Subaru US? Thanks.

A new fender probably doesn't cost much. My Forester's hood was something like $175 way back when, but it still has to be painted.
 
Should be $400-500 or so, just a guess.

You mean the fender comes unpainted? I thought they would order a fender with exactly the same paint color from subaru.

Primed in black is how my parts have come.
 
I've ordered from on-line wholesalers because you get a better price than a body shop will give you. And the part is OE.
 
Body shops basically charge retail and keep that markup.

Just wondering if the 98-01 impreza sport suffered from the same head gasket problems as the outbacks of those years. thanks,
carol

The phase I and II 2.5L engine gaskets were the problem, not the vehicles in which they were installed.

OS rack crossbar removal by stantont

Hi,
 
My son just bought a '98 Outback Sport, and we want to install Thule canoe racks. How do we get the factory crossbars off? There are two Philips head screws on the bottom of each which appear to hold the bars to the rails, but turning them CCW doesn't do anything - it is as if there is something in the base of the rack turning.
 
Help!?

The factory crossbars should be removable using a small Torx driver from the *top*. Loosening these bolts (one on each side) will open the "mouth" of the clamp and you just pull one side toward the rear or front, then slip the other side out. It is very fast and very easy.

xwesx,
 
Thanks for the reply. However, there are no screws on the top of the crossbars, only two philips screws on the underside of each "foot" that seem to go into the rails. When we asked the dealer, he said he thought we had to remove an end cap on the rails and slide the crossbars off. That seems awfully complicated for what should be an easy job...
