Default European Gen-4 Accessories

So...because i was born and raised in Sweden I fairly regularly visit the Swedish websites for different auto manufacturers to see what models they offer over there that we don't see as well as what different options they offer on the models we do see in the US.

One of the interesting options they offer for the Outback in Sweden is a light bar. Anyone have any idea whether this would fit on the US-spec Outback and, if so, what the best way to get these European accessories here in the US would be?

Check out some of the accessories offered in Sweden:

Outback - Subaru

Click on "Exteriör" to see the light bar.

Lightbar to be over 1k USD with lights, but it also looks pretty smooth... I'd be interested to see if it becomes available aftermarket in the US.

Yeah, I would expect it to be cheaper here if it becomes available.

In Sweden all prices are listed including tax, which is 25% on all non-food items (at least that's what it was when I moved).

Yea but you get a refund on the 25% VAT tax when you go through boarding and customs at Arlanda airport.
Thanks for reminding me to throw some of these things in my luggage next time I visit friends and relatives in Stockholm.

It would fit without modifications?

The Legacy and OB have the same part number for the non-scoop hood, it makes sense that the LGT hood would be a direct bolt-on.
