Hi lads, i have put them on a few months ago and am very pleased (good peace of mind when parking in car parks) i got them from a Subaru dealer paid about £50. I fitted mine just below the line in the middle of the doors. Mine are on DBM i have colour coded eveything exept these i think they look great and break up the side a bit, will post a pic once turbosport stops messing about.

just as a matter of interest I put mine exactly over the centre line by sourcing a semi circular piece of wooden dowl that was exactly the same size as the contour of the bodywork. I then glue this to the middle of a rectangular piece of plywood that was the same width as the side protection strips.
Then just put the patented tool (LOL)into the contour of the car and use a fibre tipped pen to mark the bodywork above and below this .
Then simply line up the top and bottom of the the strips with the pen marks and hey presto!!!
Looks better than sticking them below the contour IMHO

I had mine done to the Terzo about a year ago.
Very happy with the result.![Big Grin](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Have a look HERE
Let me know what you think.

p.s. This type of strip is very difficult to colour code because its a rubbery type of material which makes it hard to key.
Very happy with the result.

There's been a few P1's with these colour-coded. It can be done, but don't know how well the paint will stand the test of time. Don't fancy re-spraying them ever few months.

I've had dealer protection strips with "IMPREZA" on them fitted £65.oo all in and I'm happy with the result, one drawback was they were fitted with white adhsive strip, black would have been better but apparently "it's" what they come supplied with.

Worth having, but remember they don't work against rear doors dings as most cars have oddly shaped back doors.
Don't work against off roader / pretend 4X4 either, as they ride too high for the strips to protect your door.
Best solution for those is an AW50 or C4
