Real Chrome Delete
This may be the first true chrome delete on a 6th Gen Outback in the world. This is not a vinyl wrap or a spray paint, this is a complete replacement of the chrome trim with the trim found in the Wilderness Edition. No flaws or concerns about ever peeling.
I tried and failed to hit my mark with the vinyl wrap from Crux. I did not like it and couldn’t live with the imperfections. So…I went all in. This is how the Onyx Edition should have been equipped. Much appreciation and thanks to #penninsulasubaru for their special work and generosity.

I was hesitant to post the costs associated with this because some of you will most likely flame me for spending this much money and lecture me on the better use of my upgrade money. But…in the interest of transparency and for those of you who really might be interested in doing it. The MSRP (I didn’t pay this much) for the parts is over $1200. Like most of you, I can get a discount on parts. In this case, because I am close friends with the owner and I am a Subaru Ambassador I got a very special deal. I believe most of you could get the parts for $700-800. The labor was also a special deal but you can count on 8 hours of labor. The rear windows have to be removed and replaced and glued back in with special adhesive. This is not a DIY job unless you have special experience. So…a ballpark number for those of you who would have a dealer do this work and not have any special connections would be $1600-$1700.
