TRAILS by GrimmSpeed Fender Flare Kit Install - 18+ Subaru Crosstrek

TRAILS BY GRIMMSPEED PRODUCTS AVAILABLE HERE: www.grimmspeed...
GrimmSpeed has set the standard not only for creating high quality performance upgrades, but also aesthetic parts. Now we’re proud to introduce THE go-to fender flare kit for your 2018+ Crosstrek and 2020+ Outback from TRAILS by GrimmSpeed. These kits include everything you need to take your Subaru from looking like every other grocery-getter on the road, to something you would only find at the end of a rocky ascent. Coupled with the TbG Lift Kits, this is the look that these cars should have come with from the factory. Each flare extends the width of the vehicle's body by 2" (50mm), allowing you to run a lower offset rim with a more aggressive tire. Check out more about these kits in the link above!

Really appreciate you guys building stuff for us Crosstrek owners. Always felt left out when my brother would buy Grimmspeed parts for his WRX.

[@GrimmSpeed]

We thought it was about time to offer support for the Crosstrek platform. They are such amazing cars and so close to what we are already known for, it just make sense.

[@bambamyong]

I would really love these on my SJ 😭 I’m going to just buy these and see if I can modify it. There’s no fender flares out there for the SJ 😭

[@GrimmSpeed]

No guarantees. Would love to know if you get it to work.

[@thekillerklebb]

Need some sort of fender flares for the Impreza hatch!!!

[@GrimmSpeed]

We can add it to the product consideration list!

[@louboomerz957]

Would these fit on the Impreza in a similar way? I know the front flarea would have to drill into the underside of the fender lip. And the rear bracket maybe fit if the alignment tabs shaved off?

[@GrimmSpeed]

It will likely be close, however that's hard to answer without giving it a try. We might just have to wait until an adventurous Impreza customer takes the challenge!

[@louboomerz957]

@@GrimmSpeed I just mihjt be that adventurous one

[@christiandipp845]

How'd it go?

[@Leo-hh7pz]

Love your design! Is there gonna be a similar kit for the 2024 crosstrek?

[@GrimmSpeed]

We will see. Nothing planned at the moment but it seems like the demand is there.

[@silverstatercadventures]

Will this affect the fitment of my Rally Armor at/lift mud flaps?

[@GrimmSpeed]

We havent tested the TRAILS flare kit with the Rally Armor mud flaps, but i am assuming the mud flaps with just bolt up on top of the TRAILS fender flare kit.

[@cjm321]

I would be curious about this too

[@dubblekil]

after installing is it possible to remove the bumpers front or rear? looking at the install it seems like they would cause damage to the flares?

[@GrimmSpeed]

No, you will have to partially remove the fender flares first before removing the front or rear bumpers.

[@anthonybrisebois5798]

Looking for hand written acknowledgment these will fit the 2021 Crosstrek. I've bought a bunch of stuff that says 18+ that doesn't fit the (what I dubbed) Gen2.1 in the 2021 model. Someone already asked about aftermarket mud flaps, so I won't beat that dead horse, but if you have updates pass them along please. Keep up the great work.

[@GrimmSpeed]

Give our customer service team a call. They can help you with fitment questions!

[@anthonybrisebois5798]

@@GrimmSpeed yeah the hand written thing was a joke. Subsequently however, got rear ended this morning in a hit and run, so maybe you guys bang out a off-road bumper for me real quick? K thanks bye

[@JAYEMiklo]

245/55/18 18x9 +12 offset Kansei Roku. These are what i put on my 19 Crosstrek. I had to push the fender liner back and trim the front bumper a little. My question is this: Will these present an issue with my set up? Ive also been collecting my lift kit parts and am going crawford puck spacers 2" front 1.5" rear along with Rallitek endlinks front and rear, wilderness front LCA, crawford rear LCA, Bilstein shocks and struts, and the Rallitek drop kit. Think it'll clear???

[@Jeremy-dw2jt]

hey do these fit the new 2024 models?

[@fjaajf]

@@Jeremy-dw2jt theoretically yes but probably needs some adjustment

[@YoguitoFM]

Hola quería preguntar si es necesario kit de suspensión+5 para poner llanta method 15 x7 con neumáticos 215/70/ r15 i si la llanta 15x7 toca en la pinza de freno gracias un saludo

[@K03sport]

If you don't have a 2nd set of hands, blue/painters tape works well for holding items in place (spacers, flare while marking holes, etc.)...I'm still curious as to why a complete fender cladding replacement wasn't developed for the front. Yes, more material, more expensive, more removing, but no drilling and no covering up one plastic piece w/another. It can't be that difficult to develop a full cladding replacement if you guys went this far. I'm still weary of pieces that rely on 3M tape to do the majority of the attachment/holding (like the rear door blend panel).

[@GrimmSpeed]

That's a fair question, but on the front of these vehicles the part of the front fender "flare" from the factory is just a bumped out unpainted section of bumper, so you cant remove it outside of cutting it off. There would also then be nowhere to mount the new one since you'd have cut the lip of. Rather than removing some but not all, we opted to make one piece that covers the whole thing. As far as the rear door piece, the 3M VHB is widely used by OEM car makers to secure molding, trim/cladding, etc. right from the factory. We didn't think many people would prefer drilling into their door over double sided tape. It is well suited for the task IF the surface is properly prepped and the tape is given pressure and time in the right temperature environment to set up. With that being said (and I don't recommend this but I'm putting it out there to speak to the quality of VHB) we installed our kit and door pieces in a 60* shop, with 30min of clamping time to set up. Then our coworker drove home and left the car outside overnight in the 5* winter weather and it was fine. The next day we took it through an automatic wash and there were no concerns about it coming off. Its all about how quality a job the installer chooses to do. I hope I was able to answer your questions! Thanks Cory from GrimmSpeed

[@K03sport]

@@GrimmSpeed appreciate the follow up. I knew it went beyond poster board and scissors and I commend you on an unique product in an overlooked market. Regardless of the inherent, proclaimed, and proven holding ability of the 3M tape, I still have my skepticism. Good luck with the Trails line. Now, where did I put my foil hat?👽

[@cjm321]

I don't think these will fit the larger factory "sport" trim flares on the crosstrek

[@artimusoftime7944]

Can you use this kit on a 2013 model

[@GrimmSpeed]

No, this kit won't fit previous generation Crosstreks.

[@Maibot87]

Love the look of this fender flare kit. If only you guys make a kit for the 19+ foresters.

[@pansmasher5956]

Forester sk is feeling left out

[@GrimmSpeed]

In time, once TRAILS gains some footing in the market we will be tackling more models.

[@miked7666]

Please turn the music off

[@GrimmSpeed]

🤐 Will be more conscious of audio volume in the future.

[@mishaberger1718]

FWIW I thought the music was very tasteful and did not make it difficult to hear the narration at all.

[@Matt-bb3nr]

Dope.

[@GrimmSpeed]

Glad you like.

[@CameronStewartDC]

Anything for the Ascent?

[@GrimmSpeed]

At the moment, we offer a lift kit for the Ascent. More to come!

[@247AMB]

Great looking product. 2 questions: 1st Does this fit the non sport crosstrek since the oem fenders flares are not the same style as the one featuredin this video? 2nd Based on the first question. Any particular reason why the fender flares for the Outback are rounded and not a similar style as these? Great video!

[@GrimmSpeed]

Good question, the Fender Flares fit all 2018+ Crosstrek models (base, sport, limited, premium, and we're pretty sure the hybrid as well) As far as the Outback styling goes, we felt the aggressive lines that the Crosstrek flares have would not go well with the Outback. Styling the Outback Flares in a more refined OEM+ way would go better with the Outback design.

[@GspotPredator]

Do you make one for a 08 wrx hatch narrowbody?

[@GrimmSpeed]

Not at the moment. Just for the 18+ Crosstrek
