Upgrade your engine bay with our Subtle Solutions Alternator Cover. It fits 2002 - 2014 Subaru WRX, 2004 - 2021 Subaru STI, 2005 - 2009 Legacy GT (w/ OEM STI bracket only), 2004 - 2013 Forester XT (09 - 13 w/ OEM STI bracket only), and 2005 - 2009 Outback XT. Note that it won't fit the 2011 - 2013 FB25 non - turbo motor. This cover is CAD designed, CNC pressed, and laser cut from 304 stainless steel. It comes with anodized (black) aluminum standoffs and washers, and all install hardware (bolts/washers) is included. Made in the USA, it has a powder - coated finish for corrosion protection and a great look, replacing the plain plastic factory cover.

Using this alternator cover is easy. First, make sure to buy the Subaru OEM STI Power Steering Belt Cover Bracket separately if your vehicle needs it. Before installing the hardware that comes with the alternator cover, remove the rubber bushing on the bracket. Install the tall spacer with bolt/washer through the stock Subaru oem bracket on the passenger side power steering pump. Then, use the Subaru OEM STI bracket to install the shorter spacer and hardware with clip nut on the alternator (driver side). As for maintenance, keep it clean and dry to prevent corrosion. If you notice any damage, replace the parts as needed. Also, check the hardware periodically to make sure it's tight.
