Hello! I'm new to Subaru, and new to this forum. Just ordered a new 2014 Forester Touring, and am thinking about purchasing the 'Bumper cover moldings' (example here: http://www.subarugenuineparts.com/product_info.php?products_id=2073) After 8 years of city parallel parking, the corners of my 2005 Accord are looking pretty banged up - as you can see in the attached picture. Am hoping to avoid this happening on my shiny new Forester. Any thoughts on if these will help avoid this type damage, and if it's worth getting them painted to match the color of the bumper (since Subaru only ships them in black)? Thanks for any feedback!
