Rally Armor Skid Plate

Hey there!

Has anyone have the Rally Armor Skid Plate for their subbie? Does anyone know if it will fit the WRX wagons? I have an 04 WRX wagon. Is it worth buying?

Thanks

Ed

Be careful if you have a fumoto valve. I had to slightly modify how mine mounted to my car so it wouldn't hit it. Othewlse, it's great.

I suggest the primitive one vice the rally armor, Paul will make sure you get what you need. He can modify the plate for your needs and you get a thicker plate to boot.

The ONLY plate I'd trust under our Foresters. Primitive - Rally proven products are not always the "look good" option, but the performance is always the best.

We have Fumoto valves installed on both of our Foresters, and they work flawlessly.

The Primitive plate needs some grinding to fit around a Fumoto also.

I have a Primitive plate on my '05 Wagon. I ground it a little for the Fumoto and also drilled out a hole so I could change the oil filter without dropping the plate. Obviously wouldn't want to do that for real proper gravel duty.

Another vote for the Primitive plate. Mine has saved my oil pan many times during my 100 mile commute through the mountains

I had a primitive plate for a couple years. Fit and worked perfectly.
