Congrats! What color did you get?
One comment my wife made was how much better the XV would look if it had cladding that came up higher on the doors, similar to the Outback (or VX of course). Given how reluctant Bushwhacker (was that the company name Gary?) was to make those flares for the Forester, it's hard to imagine anyone would make an aftermarket version. But I wonder if a good Line-X shop could do the doors up to the scallop line and have it match the existing plastic? Something to look into maybe.
For comparison:
