Introducing The OutbackScreen!
Got an 2015-23 Outback? Check out your lower grill. It is pretty wide open.... Plenty open enough for a rock to have a free shot at your A/C condenser or radiator. No bueno. This is a growing problem across the auto landscape. You don't need to take that chance. The OutbackScreen is a custom fit grill screen that will keep rocks out of there and save you the expense and hassle of having to replace things in there. This has been a problem for many cars, including the Subaru Ascent. Repairing this problem isn't that hard, but like anything these days, it isn't cheap either. One Ascent owner reported an $1800 repair bill. And don't even ask about a warranty! Road hazard damage is specifically excluded from new car warranties. And even if you could forget about the cost, the hassle of having your car down for service for a couple of days, get it back and forth to the dealership, and wondering if or when they will be able to get a new condenser, just isn't worth it.
An Outback owner saw the AscentScreen and asked me to make one for his Outback, so I did! Rocks and debris won't get though this, your car is safe and you don't need to worry about where that rock is waiting to ruin your day! An OutbackScreen is $40, including shipping within the Continental US. To order, email me at [email protected]. Please include the year and trim level of your Outback, the items you would like and your shipping address. You can also fill out our contact form here. I will respond to confirm you order and work out payment information. Paypal, Zelle, and Venmo, and credit cards are accepted.

Upper Grill Screen For Complete Protection
These new pieces are for the large upper grill (Where the Subaru logo is.) For some time, folks have been asking me f to make these to give them full protection, it just took a while to get around to it.. This piece is $60. It is made of the welded SS mesh that I use for the IntercoolerScreen (Below), and trimmed in the same way as the other pieces. Purchased with an OutbackScreen for your lower grill, both pieces are $95.
This is an internal installation, so it won’t really be seen much at all. You'll need to remove the access panels at the top of the grill just inside the hood to install it. Once in there, it is attached in the same way as the other pieces. I’ll attach a picture of this against the outside of the grill to help you see the size and position of it, but as noted previously, it is meant to be installed behind the grill where it won't be seen. Internal installation requires the removal of the plastic upper trim panel above the radiator. This is very easy to do. It does not interfere with a forward camera if your car has one.
To order, just send an email to [email protected]. Include your name, shipping address, model, and year of your car. We'll take it from there. Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, and checks are accepted. Paypal and credit cards are also welcome, subject to a 4% handling fee. NY Residents, please add 8% sales tax.

Introducing the IntercoolerScreens
Someone mentioned wanting a screen for his Subaru's intercooler to keep bugs and crap out of that. And in a supremely complementary gesture, someone else thought of me for the job. I couldn't be more pleased to have been asked, and I am proud to announce that these are now available!! And, because we can, there won't be just one IntercoolerScreen, there are two to choose from, both made with stainless steel mesh for a great, long lasting look. One is a more traditional woven mesh, the other is a REALLY COOL new welded grid. They are trimmed in a rubber edge trim to finish them off nicely give them a perfect fit, and protect your intercooler. And these will fit the Ascent, Outback, WRX, and any other new Subie that uses the same intercooler.
The welded stainless steel mesh has 4 holes per inch, the woven has 6 holes per inch. Both are approximately 70% open area for good airflow to the AC condenser and radiator. Intercooler screens have been in use with Subaru Intercoolers for many years and both my son and I have used them to protect the intercoolers on our WRXs for a long time without any concern or noticeable change in performance of the car. And that includes a fair bit of "Spirited" driving.
The best thing about this may be the price! $60, including shipping within the Continental US. And, if you want an OutbackScreen for your lower grill with it, the package is only $95. And you can go all the way with all 3 screens (Upper grill, lower grill, and Intercooler) for $150.
To order, email [email protected]. You can also fill out our contact form here. Include the items you would like and your shipping address. I will respond to confirm you order and work out payment information. Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, and checks are accepted. Paypal and credit cards are also welcome, subject to a 4% handling fee.

Introducing The ALL NEW OutbackMats!!!!
I am now proud to announce the new OutbackMats!! Like the grill screens, I've been making trunkmats for the Chevy Volt for a number of years. And the Volt folks love them! Outback folks, being of outdoors mind and body should love them even more... This is a 2 piece custom cut trunk mat set, one piece for the trunk floor, the other piece(s) cover the backs of the rear seats. Full protection with the rear seats up or down. The trunk piece is cut slightly oversized to give more protection on the sides, the rear seat pieces are cut to fit right out to the edge of the seats. More and better protection than any other. These are also now available. I also have these ready for the Ascent (AscentMats, go figure...) and CrosstrekMats as well.
OutbackMats and all the others are made from a heavy duty, waterproof, washable rubber-backed automotive carpet. It is a non-woven type carpet in jet black, so the edges won't fray. These are made to order and can be customized to your order. The rear seat piece can be made as one solid piece, one piece split between the seats, or two separate pieces, your choice. The rear seat pieces are not cut out for the LATCH child seat anchors, but will be marked for their locations so you can cut out if needed.

Campers, skiers, bikers, and any outdoors folks love these! Dog owners, too! Get them as dirty as you can all weekend and hose them off on Monday! More protection than other options, more versatility, Easy to customize, and all that at about half the cost of the big name brands! What's not to love? And if you rarely or never open the 2rd row seats, I can also make the two pieces in one full length version.
The two piece set is $110, including shipping within the Continental US. The trunk mat and rear seat back mat are available separately for $60 each. To order, email me at S[email protected].
