    Sounds random, but search NASIOC.com (Subaru forums). There are a bunch of guys making VERY good "knock offs" of the rally armor product. I think they found the same material and are producing them for the forum. No patents on that kind of stuff, so its all legal.

    just installed weathertech on the front...they do flex but are stiff

    I yanked on both of them and bent them back and upward and they
    will bend and not rip out, this at 50 deg F I don't dare bend them at 32F:p

    I installed a set of these today on my 08. Very quick and easy. You'll need new nylon fasteners, as the originals break when you take them out. But then again, it was about 35 degrees here in Boston today when I did it. I hunted high and low online for fasteners. Someone here mentioned clipsandfasteners.com. They definitely have the best deal on fasteners. $14 for a box of 15 including shipping

    Someone mentioned that these do not match up exactly to the flares on the visible side. This is true, you can see a line where the OEM flaps were on the flares. I have some touch up paint that ill apply once it warms up here in New England.

    Had them on for about 2 weeks now. I like them a lot. Perfect fit for the front ones. (I only did the fronts.) Only draw back is the marks on the fender flares from the oem's. Barely noticeable on my 08 with painted flares, but its there. Maybe not be so noticeable on the black unpainted ones. I have 90 k miles though. Shop around for the nylon fasteners. You"ll need them.

    Installed the front Husky flaps a month ago...great construction and super fit, but gotta agree that they are too short. Mud and stone chips (most of my driving is on gravel) along the door sills and bottom of rear fender flares where there never has been with the OEM units. I wish I had seen this before I got them...probably would have gone with factory. I plow with my truck as well and never had a real issue until the passenger side one finally wore out and tore... as far as I'm concerned these are a constant wear/disposable item.
    The pic shows a creative solution...might give it a go.

    Thanks for posting this. Sub'd for future. Ordered my WeatherTech front flaps today, as my passenger side one broke off this weekend...$42 (incl shipping) beats OEM in my book.

    Some stuff...
    I just with some of the rubber, heavy-duty flexible mud flaps off of Amazon and cut to fit. Was around $35 if my memory serves correctly, and have held up well the last 6+ months.
