Welcome to the Network, Steven!



First of all, if your car is an LS-L, it has the touring package (power leather seats, sunroof, etc.)

You can get the trunk struts from Subaru. 17 years of use lifting a heavy trunk and spoiler wrecks havoc on these. Here are the part numbers.

57521PA000 Stay Trunk, Right
57521PA010 Stay Trunk, Left

You can pick them up from your local dealer (probably Buzz Leonard Subaru on 15th St.) or order them from subaruparts.com for $46.36 each plus shipping. There have been aftermarket trunk strut mods done on the network, but only the factory design allows the trunk to open a full 90° vertically.

You'll find a wealth of information here and in the How-To Documents link on the top right of the page. Don't be afraid to ask.



Spent quite a bit of time at Tyndall AFB in the 60's. You'll love Panama City Beach and the Miracle Mile.

Also know that the weather in Florida will be a welcome change from Lakenheath. I have visited there when I was over in the UK, assigned to GCHQ in Cheltenham and RAF Menwith Hill, outside of Harrogate.
