Where to buy Subaru OEM parts

Hey I was wondering where you guys shop for some OEM accessories for your car? I have a 08 sti and I want to get the bumper protector and cargo net. Is www.subarugenuineparts.com any good?

Yes. Or a local stealership.

I'd recommend Steven Creek Subaru parts department. Run by Unit 91 (Ryan), and staffed by enthusiasts/members (xhengmanx, etc.), you'll find that they will give you the i-club special pricing if you ask them for it.

BTW, before you go taking your parts business to the online stores, and trying to get the local places to match their pricing, check with ALL the charges (shipping/handling, etc.) first and add ALL of those costs to the price quote.

You'll find doing business with the local guys isn't THAT much more expensive, and you'll be helping out the local guys, not someone who is not very well liked by many around here.

Ryan, from Steven's Creek Subaru (Parts dept) will hook you up with the part you're looking for and at a good price. (unit-91 as he posts here). (As will his side-kick, Chris. )

HaHa Daniel, I think you got it backwards...I'm not Ryan's side-kick. He is MY side-kick.

If you come in and mention I-club we will hook you up.

Another +1 to Steven's Creek parts dept. Ryan is really chill, and always hooks me up. First place I go to when I'm looking for something local.

I've also had great experiences with Jackie at Annapolis Subaru. Out of state saves tax on really expensive items, and they're a pretty big dealer on nabisco, and give great discounts too.

I like to buy from Jackie also but her being on the east coast means the item takes a while to come

I usually order from subaruparts.com. Local dealers usually are very high in price.
