Take the bumper plug out for the tow hook to paint match. Comes out easy.
I was going to ask if there might ne a paint code on a door tag, or glove box tag. Yours seems like an easier to find solution.
That should be the easier thing to take out. If it doesnt work, maybe the door handle? I don't know about the Forester, but in some cars that little key cap thing is easily removed.
David Stisher Wouldn’t any good paint shop be able to match paint by referencing the VIN?
Gui MF Yeah, I’m bringing him the door handle or rear spoiler Monday.
@@SarahnTuned Should just take the front bumper cover. You've had that thing off enough times, you could do it in your sleep by now! :-D
Your cage guy...knows his stuff and is doing that job, the right way. Nice to see someone like that, who cares about the safety.
Charlie did a fantastic job on the roll cage and I like that he's looking out for you in trying to get the seat and harness perfect, too.
I mmmmm mmmmm
My thoughts exactly 👍
You should honestly have a gajillion subscribers. The amount of effort you put in shows. 🔥
Mark W thanks, I try!
A 2-hour drive to reshoot a 3-minute segment? Par for the course for Sarah.
A super example of why your channel is just the greatest ! Your attention to detail & your unbridled enthusiasm (that was a mouthful 😃) are a joy to watch (and you thought your name was Sarah 😊).
8:26 My favorite moment in this video. The way you get excited, like a kid who won the best present ever, i think that for us watching this, it´s impossible not being also excited, even if we wouldn´t knew what you´re excited about.
You've perfected your editing skills. I am SUPER impressed! Thanks SO much for taking so much of your valuable time to make this video. For those of you who don't know, there is so much work that goes into making a quality UA-cam video and Sarah has nailed it. Thanks Sarah!
YOUR SHIRT!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Sarah can literally take apart a whole car and put it back together. Amazing. Keep up the great work!
Jason Weaver it’s not hard, lol.
Those wheels are starting to become my favorite to see on a car. Great choice!
A friend recommended this channel to me
I’m loving your channel so far keep it up
Sarah, your attention to detail excites me.
Love your videos and content! You will hit 1M+ Subs soon... Looking forward to seeing more of Gump.
The music at 3:05 SLAPS 👍🏼 🔥🔥🔥 totally fits the trip shots. A total vibe
Another fun video. Thanks for taking us along.
I am really impressed with all your knowledge. I love cars and i wish i knew as much as you do. Great vid, Sarah.
Charlie is a boss. Excited to see the wheels!
Chandler Arizona my old stomping grounds :-) Spent 24 of the first 32 years of my life there. the other 8 was Phoenix. sorta miss that place. Not really! ;-) Fun to see when a youtuber pops into a place where you once lived. Keep up the good work Sarah! Love the show!
Yes! It’s Sarah time again! Life is good. 😍🍀
Great video Sarah that really emphasised your knowledge as well as the normal “quirky humour”
Always noice to see you happy about parts choices!
So kewl you found a killer business! Glad Matt is doin his thing & wanting to expand. Those colors were outstanding!
Such a grand thing, you & Charlie working together to make modifications that are truly yours! Glad y'all decided to make things happen together. You stress over enough as it is lol
Great videos, amazing work done there!...You are very talented Sarah Greenwood 😊
The best way to get the color matches for the flare on the body as well as the flare to the bumper cover is this. Find a way to take the fuel door off for the flares to the body. Take off a front bumper cover for the front flares and the rear bumper cover for the rear flares that way everything will match correct as far as the three-stage tint
Little hint, to remove tie rod ends or ball joints, three sharp hits with a hammer on the spindle will make it drop out without using a fork and causing possible boot damage.
Those wheel spec animations were so dope!
I find that I raise my voice when I’m excited about what I’m talking about😉😀❤️
Great choice Sarah
Enjoyed driving it and best of health and happiness
Take the paint code and the plug. There is probably no fade because..detailing and ceramic coat. The plug will confirm it. Those wheels are gonna be amazing!
love the manson shirt ...
Nice Manson shirt, and agree the bumper plug would be the easiest to use for color matching
Gump is going to look amazing! Can’t wait to see the complete wheel and arch combo. Great video.
Love your forester Sarah and your mods are very very nice, not over the top just enough.. Love from Ireland 😎
Sarah makes me smile, Fit's with no rub issues just sounds different lmao
If you’re like me, you’re yelling because you’re stoked about new wheels! Great wheel brand choice for Gump! 👍🏼
Crazy. I clicked as soon as I had notification of the video and there were 4 views. I had to pause for a short phone call and when I finished there were 2,500 views. I guess it’s not like anyone is waiting for the next Sarah-n-Tuned video... The new rims look fire. I can see why you were so excited when you put the one on. I would almost be tempted to leave the wheel arch trim black...almost.
Take the bumper plug out Sarah you should have one on your Subaru in the front and in the back it’s where you would put your service tool in and screwed in to the bumper to pull the car
Busy times at the Sarah-n-tuned shop, its all happening
Looked like a sexy ninja with that mask!
👤👁👁🇯🇵🥋💜🔥
❤️
Did you ever get to see a Rally Fighter? They were made in Chandler with assistance with the buyer. Awesome desert runners, they even had a ramp to send the Rally fighter about 7 feet in the air, over and over again. They looked amazing too. The Local Motor factory is still there but they are now building autonomous cars now.
Awesome video and Manson shirt, you just continue to be my favorite lol.
Lovely Jubbly, who dares to give Sarah a thumbs down?
I think it great that you called you car Gump. It has been my nickname since the movie came out. It is the first part of my last name and I was in the Army at the time!
Love your videos. I just had my 2020 Forester Sport up in northern Arizona. It did awesome with the meatball test. Keep up the awesome content.
Most people when changing a ball joint/track rod end just count the number of turns for a 'close enough' fit. Not Sarah! Out comes the digital micrometer for an exact measurement! It's probably too late now but a racing driver who presents a car show in the UK gave a pointer for where to set your seat in any car which I still use and that is to put your arm out straight and your wrist joint should just sit on top of the wheel.
SO smart. SO good, Stay strong!!
Excellent choice in caliper.
You make me laugh my head off, keep up the great work, greetings from Australia.
Hi Sarah, can you share with us the tire and wheel specification please?
Love the channel BTW.
If the car is stock color, grab the color code off the inside of the door on the info placard that also has recommended tire pressure.
I love Arizona, spent a week in Scottsdale last year. If I ever end up south of the border AZ is where I'll be...
Ever tried counting the turns changing tie-rod ends? Example 25 turns off 25 turns back on gets you close no need to measure.
Oh what a doll. I loved how excited you got when your plan was coming together! I love that too. Can't wait to see the final product!
Finally, wheel arches.. I left mine black it gives the car a good contrast as I think theres too much white. Very anxious to see the arches in body color though.
A larger contact patch on front wheels is going to make steering feel more vague. It will be interesting to see if you notice.
265 makes more sense on the rear. As an example BMW X5 runs with 255 front 285 rear.
Looking forward to seeing the rims.
You were sooo close. Oh well, I knew I felt a disturbance in the Force!
👍for Charlie on his craft. ❤️ Thank You 4 Sharing Interweb Sarah 😻
Hey Sarah,try looking at your Vin, it has your Factory color in the Vin.
It should be on the door tag.
Definitely not. VIN numbers don't have paint codes.
J A Right. The paint code will be on the door jamb tag.
Fire...always....fire....absolute fire.
I’m getting lazy with looking up torque values and using torque wrenches. Now I like to use my “calibrated” arm and let the threads talk to me.
Also getting away from or using tiny amounts of loctite because some kinds of fasteners get seized and need lots of extra work.
Some of the tire web sites have these neat calculators that help you compare the external dimensions of tires. I use the one on Tire Rack dot com often..
Good stuff - nice variety!
Wheel wait for the next video, Sarah! 😀
All class girl... love your work!🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎😘
In the UK you can usually get the paint code for a car of the VIN plate, just look in the handbook to find it. Or failing that just contact Subaru.
Prince Edward Paint Code alone is not sufficient enough on a tri-stage Pearl.
Those wheels are perfection in motion that and I mean the wheels spin so it would make sense 😂😂
What a nice FabriCobbler buddy to have, noice !
You’re in Phoenix! I’m so sorry. I hope you escape safely. Try not to stray so far from Tucson
Hi Sarah love your videos
10:30 WOW, a hatless Charlie, I heard those are rare!
Hey Sarah how about a tour of the factory in Casa Grande where the Lucid Air electric car is being built? Just a thought.
COOOOL. You were close to me in Chandler. :)
WOW WOW IS YELLOW YOUR COLOR SARAH!!!
I GUARANTEE, you would not have WANTED to meet any of those "funnies" from that show ANYWAYS! They are all ANCIENT by now!! For realz!
Hey Sarah, why don't you use the antenna cover for color match body part. As far as I remeber from the previous video, it was painted to the body color. If not, just ignore me 😁
Nice Manson shirt. 🤘
You should buy a garage and vehicle storage with an attached house.
Get two lifts, rent out one to a trusted mechanic, offer services, and vlog like crazy.
Excited for this!!
That was a busy video..loved it..
If it hasn't been repainted just use the paint code located usually inside the glove box.
Regas are my dream wheels for my EM1
Color codes lookup, vin# lookup, sometimes under the hood has a sticker. Touchupdirect will have the code also for a perfect match.
Nicely done Charlie
Jtto Bingodingo Paint codes alone aren’t sufficient enough when dealing with tri-stage pearl paint.
@@SarahnTunedOK, talk to a paint shop. They should be able to mix you the base, middle, and top coat. They usually have a computer that spits out the different colors that are needed to get the correct color code for the vehicle.
Best I got, sorry Im not a paint all the time guy.
I know you will figure it out
Cheers :):):)
I know exactly what I'm doing already, thank you. 🙏
I keep my wheel arch moulding in factory black color coz i think it will not match on the rear bumper coz it has a black color too and i like some contrasts, and the side skirt/door plastic trim on the buttom are black too. just my opinion.
Those wheels look sweet! How did it turn out with the suspension? You installed the HKS coilovers and such, how did it go and how's the handling? Also another question have you done an AOS yet? If not do you plan to and how do you feel about the importance of an AOS? Thanks for the awesome content!
What's the biggest off-road tire that will fit tho? and side note, do you worry about working near brakes and not using a filter for breathing?
Drove to Phoenix from CA a few weeks ago. I was looking to relocate for a job. Pulled in about 7pm got a room and bailed the next morning at 8am. That place is soooooo friggin hot. I dont see how anyone can handle that kind of heat. Whoa!!
ddub wizbo it’s a good 10-15 degrees hotter than Tucson usually, it’s no joke hot!
@@SarahnTuned So, Tucson is cooler than Phoenix? That I did not know.
ddub wizbo yeah, higher elevation and surrounded by substantially larger mountains.
@@SarahnTuned Wish I had known that a few weeks ago. 🤣Seriously! Should of talked to you sooner! 😂
Nice video Sarah, when this all comes together it’s going to be pretty sweet🍪🍪🍪👍
Great video, Sarah. I swear, you have one of the coolest Subarus I've ever seen. And it keeps getting better. Keep up the great work.
Hey Sarah can you do a vid on the products you use on your cars?! Love the channel ❤️
Can't wait for the wheels.😛
Show the wheeeeeeelzz!!! You're mean! XD
Got to go over to the blue burrito for lunch 🤗
I put 4" taller tires on my Lexus GX. It should have made the spedo 10% off, but its calibrated to the GPS. The spedo was 2 MPH low, just like it always was.
Awesome Manson shirt
Hey Super Sarah!
I love your humour and the way you explain things you do on your Gump!
I would love to trade my 2016 5Doors Impreza for a 2014 Forester. Any tips on with trim should i get, i'm not a mechanic at all, the XT Turbo looks fun, but is it tricky to repair? Would Touring be jus fine?
Any links for a usa-canada online store for parts?
Any tips on what would be your top 5 mods on a Forester?
Hmm , how about purposefully changing the color of the fuel door to match the color of the wheels ? Or the Subaru symbol on the cover .
"I say some stupid sh#t!" I love it. 🤣🤣🤣
Forester STi Limited. Noice!!
Sarah allways "nailed it ".
I don't know why but I'm addicted to your show. I'm not really even a car guy, I drive a Honda Ridgeline.
Love that music you added to the video, shower curtain for robots lmao!!!!
Sarah, can I ask what fender flares you are going with and where you got them from? I have been looking for flares for my 2015 XT since I bought it last year and I never found anything that seemed to be a direct fit!
