Accessories I'd like to see in the US.

Sometimes I swear we really get screwed by FHI compared to the rest of the world. Is it too much to want an authentic subaru windsheild shade.. only available in Austraila (Damn you Roo and your connections :P )
Or how about an OEM factory mounting roof rack that actually uses the rails of the vehicle? These are apparently only found in the UK.
I'm seriously going to have to take a world tour to properly outfit my vehicle. /sigh

Just as soon as my printer works from both computers so I can print the receipts...

FYI BMW 3-series size sunshades just happen to fit the Impreza very nicely, and are rather well-made.

There is a company based in sunnyvale that makes sunscreens fit to your windshield. I dont have the name of the company on hand, but You can pick them at the Carlsen Subaru dealership in redwood city. I picked up a GC8 specific windshield sunscreen and it has perfect fitment. A bit on the pricy side though ($35) If anyone out there can vouch for me on the quality/fitment that would be great. Otherwise, I will just have to bring it to meets to show it off when I get my car running.
