Upgrade your engine bay with the GrimmSpeed Black Alternator Cover. This high - quality cover is designed to fit multiple Subaru models including the 2002 - 2014 WRX, 2004 - 2021 STI, 2005 - 2006 Saab 9 - 2x Aero, 2005 - 2009 Legacy GT, 2005 - 2009 Outback XT, and 2004 - 2013 Forester XT. For Forester, Legacy, and Outback models, an additional Subaru OEM Bracket (part #: 23791AA002) is required as the factory bracket is not compatible. The cover replaces your plastic factory cover and has an asymmetric design that pairs perfectly with the GrimmSpeed Tool Tray Radiator Shroud. It comes in brushed stainless steel and three standard texture DuPont™ powdercoat finishes. Key features include laser - cut venting for alternator cooling, machined aluminum mounts anodized black for corrosion resistance, a durable DuPont powder coat, slotted mounting for flexible fitment and easy installation, and drive - by - cable dimples for cable mount drilling when needed.
Using the GrimmSpeed Black Alternator Cover is straightforward. First, make sure you have all the necessary parts. If you're installing it on a Forester, Legacy, or Outback model, remember to purchase the additional Subaru OEM Bracket (part #: 23791AA002). Remove the plastic factory cover and replace it with this new cover. The slotted mounting features make it easy to fit in place. As for maintenance, since it has a durable DuPont powder coat and anodized black machined aluminum mounts, it's quite resistant to corrosion. Just give it a regular clean with a mild automotive cleaner to keep it looking great. Keep an eye on the laser - cut venting to ensure it stays clear for proper alternator cooling. If you need to drill cable mounts, use the drive - by - cable dimples as a guide.
