Frequently Asked Questions

+ Does this fit all Subaru Outback models from 2020 onwards?

Yes, this RIVAL Engine Skid Plate is designed to fit all trims of the Subaru Outback from model years 2020 to current, including the popular Wilderness edition.

+ Why is a lightweight aluminum plate better for my Outback?

For a unibody vehicle like the Outback, minimizing added weight is key to preserving its excellent handling, braking, and fuel economy. This 1/4" aluminum plate provides robust protection from impacts without the heavy penalty of steel, making it the ideal choice for performance and safety.

+ What is the front bumper scrape guard?

The included bumper guard is an additional piece of armor that attaches to the front of the skid plate. It provides an extra layer of protection for the lower part of your front bumper, helping to prevent scrapes and scuffs when navigating steep inclines or obstacles.

+ Is any drilling or permanent modification required for installation?

No. The RIVAL skid plate is engineered for a 100% bolt-on installation using your Outback's existing factory mounting points. All necessary hardware is included, and no drilling or cutting is needed.

California Residents

Prop 65 Warning- Product may contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov

Proposition 65 is a California law passed in 1986. Its goals are to protect drinking water sources from toxic substances that may cause cancer and birth defects and to reduce or eliminate exposures to those chemicals generally, for example in consumer products, by requiring warnings in advance of those exposures.

The regulation requires the State of California to revise and republish yearly a list of chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. The current list contains over 900 naturally occurring and synthetic chemicals. This regulation also requires manufacturers to place warnings on products that contain any of the chemicals listed by the State of California. No other states require warnings of this nature, and products with Prop 65 warning language are legal to sell in all states. Detailed information regarding requirements for compliance to the California Prop. 65 is can be found at: www.P65Warning.ca.gov
