'04 side skirts?
Can anyone recomend a decent looking, but inexpensive replacement side skirt that would come painted for a '04? I am looking for something that is slightly thicker than the stocker.

Yes, sideskirts for the sedan work for the wagon too.
Also, the site you want is www.subaruparts.com

That's what I'm doing to mine. I've known people to have body shops do 'em for 100 to 150 bucks. A friend gave me his stock skirts, so I'm trying to paint them myself. I ordered primer, paint and clear from paintscratch.com (with flex agent added) for about 60 bucks. I sanded them a bit with 400 grit and they are waiting to be primered, just haven't got to it yet. If it comes out crappy I'll sand them down again and have a local shop do it, already have a recommeded guy to go to. Figured it'd be fun to try myself first.

We did a BAIC group buy a few months ago -- $80 per set. If you want more flash on your stockers, you can also add side strakes or (super-rare) JDM side air dams. Or you're rich and resourceful, both for a super mean look

You could try to arrange it yourself with a local shop. We had 30-odd cars for that deal

Choku, you said the magic word: "rare".

I could go searching all over hell's half acre to find those air dams, but I'm sure you already know where to get them.

Oh, and my Trust seatbelt pads are finally in the mail, took me 2 months to find a set

Nice work hashiriya!
As for the side air dams, I'm not 100% sure of a good source for them... you can try pm'ing porkchop; he has a set
