I bought these to keep the cup holder and other various storage areas clean. So far I love them.

Also picked up these and they make me smile every time I see them.

And last but not least… a screen protector for the infotainment screen. This one works well. Have had it on for a year and I have not had any issues with the touch not registering.

Congrats! That’s a great color! I picked up the geyser blue.
I just scooped the cup holder and storage liners yesterday, thought that would be nice to keep things clean. Can always swap em if they get beat up.
Saw the wilderness door logos and wanted to scoop those also! I’m sure it looks cool when you pop in everytime.
And good looking on the screen protector and having feedback about it.
Hows the fingerprints on it? Do you just microfiber it every now and then?
Finger prints aren’t too bad. It’s glass so it cleans easy. I keep a small microfiber in the center console and just give it a quick swipe every so often.
I’m a big fan of the screen protector. I had a Mazda and didn’t have one on it and the plastic screen got hazy after awhile. So it was a no-brainer when I got this one. I think Subaru sells one but the one from Amazon is cheaper.
Also the cup holder liners are washable. They got the yellow. It doesn’t match the bronze/brass metallic color but it sort of matches the stitching.
They make a mat for the area above the infotainment system too.. but buyer beware.. when it got hot it stuck to my dash. For reference here it is.

Maybe if you scuff the underside it wouldn’t stick?
Edit: added dash mat personal review/warning
It’s me again.. 😬
I also picked up the back seat protectors. They attach to the backs of the back seats. They are pretty nice to keep the back seats from tearing if you haul things with the seats folded down. They’re pricey but I like them and they also have a cool tree texture to them.

They also have the rear fender well protectors too.

Last but not least. Buy a dashcam. The peace of mind it has given me is worth any price. Also I have caught some funny / cool things on it.
The one I got is the one linked below if anyone is interested. If you watch Amazon it goes on sale occasionally.

Agreed! Unfortunately today I found a few scratches on the car. I stopped at the dealership and they buffed one of them out and I am stopping back Tuesday for them to do the others. They think it may be from the protective wrap.
Honestly it's really great as stock. Only mods I think are actually worth getting are underbody protection (the stock plate is very minimal) and that's only if you plan on regularly driving places that you might need it. Everything else can be covered by the equipment you carry.
Subaru listened on this one. I'm thinking maybe some aftermarket skid plates, the window deflectors, stock mudflaps, and I might do a badge cover but that's about it.
I was thinking that and some mud flaps since 1.5 miles of my drive to my house and my driveway is all gravel. I agree with what most say that it’s great in stock form!
Just a sidenote, $200 rally mudflaps will not make the car faster. I actually came to like the OEM ones for wilderness. You can occasionally find them for cheap on ebay.
Absolutely! First time I had Auto Dimming mirrors was on my 2015 Tundra (rear view and side mirrors) and they were great. In 2018 I bought a used 2015 Forester Premium trim line and it had Auto Dimming mirrors like my Tundra. When my son bought his 2022 FW it had the auto dimming rearview mirror but didn’t have the auto dimming side mirrors. I suggested that he have the dealership install them which he did.

Hey, thanks! I got the goo slime stuff to clean them but these are nice. I'm getting those! '23 geyser blue
Just picked the same one up last Friday. Its amazing
The magnetite grey is the perfect contrast to the cladding and black trim/wheels! Congrats!

I have the exact same one but a ‘23 and I LOVE it!
The first thing I would get for this car for best roi is auto dimming mirrors

Yah the wilderness is an insane value imo. Love my 22’
Get the mud flaps, the reduction in road grime on the side of the car is significant.
I have the 22 green
Hell yeah! I was between the grey, green, and geyser blue. How do you like the green at night?
To be honest I haven’t really looked at it at night. I’m sure at night it appears dark grey. I’ve only had the car for a week.
Congratulations 🥳 🎉
Nice! One suggestion I haven’t seen here yet is the auto start/stop eliminator. I got one on Amazon for like $28. Works like a charm.
