Hello, picking up a 2018 Forester Touring and would like custom fit, longer & wider mud flaps or splash guards for better protection than O.E.M. Thank you, for any suggestions ! Chuck S.

There are 4 options that I know of for mudguards
1) Subaru OEM - smallest, wraps around the most, most stock appearance. Will integrate best into arch moldings if you choose to add those
2) Weathertech- bigger than Subaru, still stockish looking
3) Rally Armor -really flaps, bigger and wider than OEM, a little flappy
4) Rockblokx- similar in style to Rally Armor- a little boxyer (slightly). made of more rigid material.

I have 2 sets of the 4th one - Rokblokx. These are really good.

Thank you very, much. I did check Weathertech just wish they were a little longer, disappointed on the chipping of dog legs on our 2010 Forester.

I have rokblokz on my 2018. I like them a lot.

i bought the 'generic' rally armor and set the front out a little wider for better protections..

Make yourself a cardboard template and play with positioning.. On the front i was able to use already existing mounting points..

On the rear i had to cut them out a little and was able to use (i think) 2 mounting points - BUT had to add 1 or 2 more..

Lowes hardware section has similar pushpins for mounting..

In the past I have left the O.E.M. shorty guards in place and put a generic flat mud flap in front and screwed them fast with stainless screws and/or plastic push pins.

get one big rig flap, cut into 4. drill holes accordingly. Rally armor like mudflaps for 15 bucks!

Paint chipped down to bare metal is likely the alternative especially, in area's that dump anti-skid by the truck load even on bare roads...
