Fitment Information: This alternator cover fits 2002 - 2014 Subaru WRX, 2004 - 2021 Subaru STI, 2005 - 2006 Saab 9 - 2x Aero. For 2005 - 2009 Subaru Legacy GT, 2005 - 2009 Subaru Outback XT, and 2004 - 2013 Subaru Forester XT, an OEM Impreza bracket is required. Specifically for Forester, Legacy, and Outback models, you need to buy an additional Subaru OEM Bracket (part #: 23791AA002) as the factory - installed bracket is not compatible. Add it to your order if you don't want to source it yourself. Features: Tired of a corroded alternator and a dull engine bay? Upgrade with this GrimmSpeed Alternator Cover. It replaces your plastic factory cover and has an asymmetric design that pairs perfectly with the GrimmSpeed Tool Tray Radiator Shroud. Available in brushed stainless steel and three standard texture DuPont™ powdercoat finishes. Color: Black. It has laser - cut venting for alternator cooling, machined aluminum mounts anodized black for corrosion resistance, a durable DuPont powder coat, slotted mounting features for flexible fitment and easy installation, and drive - by - cable dimples to help drill cable mounts when needed.
Using this GrimmSpeed Alternator Cover is easy. First, make sure you have all the necessary brackets, especially if you're installing it on a Forester, Legacy, or Outback model. Remove your old plastic factory cover and then securely mount this new cover in its place. The slotted mounting features make the installation flexible and straightforward. As for maintenance, the durable DuPont powder coat and anodized black machined aluminum mounts resist corrosion well, but it's still a good idea to clean it regularly. You can use a mild cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe it down. When it comes to the laser - cut venting, keep an eye on it to ensure it's not blocked to maintain proper alternator cooling. And if you need to drill cable mounts, the drive - by - cable dimples will guide you.
