Sorry but I couldn’t find this piece in the list of standard features or accessories (I probably have the name wrong) but it’s this aluminum plate in the trunk. Circled in my picture below. Is this standard on the touring model?
Is the aluminum trunk plate standard on touring?

It is the "rear bumper cover", you would have to check Subaru.com or cars101.com to see if it comes on the Touring, or wait for someone to teply.

Does not come With Touring. Have to add it as add on.
awesome thanks for the info! I thought the bumper cover was something else. I see its a $120 add-on. Thanks for the cars101 website norway.

Fun fact: The chrome front underguard and rear bumper protector were originally intended to be standard equipment on the Touring, but the bumper protector became an optional accessory and the chrome front underguard seems to have been done away with. My source is the original Ascent brochure from the NY Auto Show.
:crying: Yep, it is plastic :crying:And I'm curious to see where you heard it was aluminium? I'm pretty sure its plastic
Oh well, I guess it'll hold up better to hits, not being aluminum. Pretty pricey for plastic though, even at the lower discounted price ($62).
But hey! At least it's "Made In The USA"! :grin:

Anyone have a part number for that or where to find it cheaper?
Part number is E771SXC000, stamped on the part in the middle picture.
Quick way to find a place that sells it cheaper is to just punch that part number into Google and open all those links in different tabs. Don't forget to factor in shipping costs.
I was about to order from Hueberger but on a whim I called my local dealer and asked if they would price match... Sure enough they did and I got it in two days rather than 7. Can't beat that.

I haven't seen black, but one can use a plastic paint that bonds to a surface, I think.
There's also clear covers for the area.

I chose not to get one for my Ascent, because the main purpose of the piece on my Merc GL was to protect from someone dragging a suitcase out the back and dragging it across the top of the bumper. The painted surface of the Ascent is much shallower and protected by the hatchback lip, and I didn't see much suitcase risk.
Then my dog had a rather dramatic jump-up fail, and scratched the crap out of the surface.
