    What are my options besides Rally armor? I want something pretty quick...as the roads are getting nasty, and i have **** splashed all over the side of my car.

    any input would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Bob

    eh I wouldn't go so far as to say "the best" but they are pretty decent (note, not saying mine are better lol. mine are very large but the durameter is too low).

    the cheap alternative is to diy using truck mudflaps you can buy at most autoparts stores

    Probably west of you.
    I bought some semi-truck mudflaps and cut out the flaps with a dremmel tool and a drywall bit. If the fall wasn't such a busy time for me, I would have a couple of members here that were running them. But, I will get a couple sets made this weekend...

    A few reasons:

    They have been around for a long time.
    They make quality mud flaps specifically for your car.
    They offer 3 different styles for your car.
    They come with all mounting hardware and instructions.
    Great quality.
    AND you can get them at mntka Subaru, that should be enough to run and get a set now :biggrin:

    Questions for those that have mud flaps on the RS. The front looks very similar to the STi, but In the rear it looks like there is only two mounting holes on the rear bumper. Is this really all it mounts to?
