but for the 98XC, you got all of the other spiffy goodies like the
fabric cargo dog guard and the bumper cover to protect the bumper from
muddy boots after a hard day of surging through the muddy parking lots?
not to mention that exquisite 2inch black stripe ala subaru on the tail
gate [which is not present on my 98XC ... came that way from the factory]

i ordered mine with my car which meant it came with the new car and not
parts department  warranty. That was good because after lots usage the
fabric started separating from the pull handle and it was replaced under
warranty. i had to get help to r&r because i had never taken it out of
the car.
