Hi everyone,
I have (at least think I have) read everything here and still have questions. Most of the discussion was 6 months ago and things might have changed.
There is the Car Worx LW-10-FP from Amazon. This is black plastic molded to fit against the bumper. In the Q&A section three people say it works perfectly for them on 2013. But if you go through the "does this fit my car" exercise, it says no. I almost ordered it before I saw that.

Then there is the Car Worx OW-13-FP which appears to be identical from the picture but it is for the 2013. Does anybody know what the actual difference is?

Then there is the DCOLICBRKEZ5 from places like Subaru Online Parts. It's in the section for 2010-2013 Outback Accessories but only 2010-2012 are on the Product page. But the thought was they would have come out with something by now. Once again from the pictures and description and I cannot tell a difference between this and the previous two. I suspect it is the same as the LW-10-FP, or maybe all three are the same. This is the one that people here said didn't fit or "fit good enough". Frankly, if I go the molded route I want it snug all around. Edit: I just heard from Subaru Online Parts - this model is only for the 2010-2012 (as the product page says).

Finally, there is the the SOA342L120. This is the black powder coated plate that makes no pretensions about molding to the bumper.

I'll probably go with the flat one. In theory I like the idea of something molded to the bumper that won't "catch" on anything but because they all hang down in front of the air intake that is kind of moot.
Thanks in advance for any updates.
