GC8E2DD is correct - those are the brackets I\'m referring to.
Loner - Thanks for the input.
evowrx - Correct, the V5/6 does have only 5 drilled holes across the top as you describe. (The V4 had 9!). Plus, 2 for the licence plate, 2 underneath the car. 2 top corner bolts in the wheel arch, and another 2 points of contact on the vertical braces which attach to the frame. I\'ll try to post up a pic of the braces and bumper differences tonight.
I am surprised there are less contact points for the V5/6. Perhaps the V4 was over engineered, or a bit of cost saving by Subaru.
