Update:

I found full part numbers. Seems to apply to both the Eco boost and the Hybrid. Ford also calls these the Fender Apron Insulator.

NZ6Z16071A RH
NZ6Z16072A LH

I also found more on the other part number. This one an "energy absorber."

Seems like they were discontinued for all of the 23 models based on the parts searches, although that could be the databases lagging behind on adding 2023.

yeah my Subaru dealers haven't updated a parts bin part since 2021 for the last gen of my vehicle. Now that a new gen rolled out, they call out the 2024 parts as 2024. They they seem to reach a point and just stop updating their parts sites and boxes if there are no functional changes to how the part fits or works.

Curious if they can be installed without taking anything apart? Something tells me I won't even notice after spending $30+

The link I posted in the other thread for you has answers. I know it's a lot of pages, but installation tips and feedback are all there.

From what I remember, the driver's side isn't bad from above, but the passenger side really should be installed from below, by undoing some of the fender liner fasteners. I think there is too much stuff in the way to do it from above.

It's not that big of a deal, but I am still waiting to do mine until I have to pull the front bumper off for a fog light install anyway.
