The great thing about using genuine Subaru OEM parts are that they are identically engineered to meet the same strict safety and quality standards as the Original Equipment (OE) parts of your vehicle. It is their commitment in maintaining highest scores for crash safety tests.
The durability of Subaru OEM parts is a result of the materials used to manufacture them. Believe it or not but engineers have tested OEM panels against aftermarket versions in simulations, real-world scenarios, and rust-causing conditions.

Other tests have shown that OEM Subaru replacement bumpers have better low-speed impact and concentrated-impact resistance than aftermarket replacement bumpers.
