looks like I'm going this route. Does RA have sales throughout the year or is $168 the price throughout the year?
Get the Rally Armors.
You have a GR body. (I do to)
In this situation it's less about the material and cut of the mudflap and more about the MOUNTING method. You mentioned no drilling... so it sounds like ease and secure of install is important to you.
RA provides custom brackets to mount the flaps and that makes a HUGE difference in the ease, reliability, etc. Really, 2/3 of the cost goes to the value of RA figuring out the mounting for you and providing the custom fabricated bracket (in the rear) as well as already figured out which hardware works and providing it for you (all 4 corners).
RA is most head ache free.

Rally Armor, and done. No reason not to unless you are cheap then you could cut up some flexible cutting boards and do it yourself. LOL
Then again there are some cheap *** mother ****ers around the Subaru world who can't afford to spend $30 more on a oil change to use proper oil and keep using diesel oil.

Amazon has them too, so free fast shipping if you have Prime. My first set I ordered direct from RA and they took forever to ship, so I got the last set from Amazon. Prices tend to be within $5 or so for URs.

Really? I got mine right from RA and they had them to me in 3 days. Guess I caught a good day or something.

It also says "....mistaken belief that 5W30 Mobil 1 is not very good."
The test numbers show that the recent (2015) version of Mobil1 is very good. NASIOC will be in uproar.

^ that report says: "for highly loaded High Performance applications where the best possible wear protection is desired, the obvious choice would be 5W30 Pennzoil Ultra, API SM or 5W30 Mobil 1, API SN...... "
