If you want a factory look, you can get them from Graham Goode. They sell the turbo mudflaps that fit the skirt in the front. The rears are the same as the subaru ones here. They aslo sell a rear skirt to fit the rear splats on the turbo cars. I have the fronts and rears. The fronts are like $75, and the rears are $15 when you do the conversion. The shipping from the UK is expensive though. I ordered the front and rear flaps, and the clear fog light covers ($50), and the total with shipping was $214.
I do not have any pics yet, but they are black, match the skirt, and fit good. No drilling reqired. Very easy install.
Here is the link since I do not have pics:

I ordered the GGS769 & GGS306. The GGS769 is not pictured unfortunatly.
I will try to get some pics this weekend. If you want to see them, drop me an e-mail, and I can forward them to you when I get them developed.

Thank you very, very much. That is exactly what I want for my car! Those suckers are mine.

I know they don't fit because of the side skirt, but has anyone tried to cut and fit the stock Impreza splash guards on a RS?

I put the rear's on and I gave up on the fronts.

There's a way to mount front mudflaps without drilling into the fender liner, but I'm not all that satisfied with the results. My front mudflaps rub a little tiny bit at full steering lock and they scrape the ground during serious cornering.

I think 3M tape along the lower body + rear mudflaps is the way to go.

What do the GGS769 front flaps look like? My "custom" rear mudflaps look exactly like the GGS306 pictured...

And the front look the same. I've seen the STi mudflaps and the front ones are HUGE! Like 14" wide. I would imagine that would rub on a 205/55-16, since the WRX comes with shorter tires.

Colin,

I'm betting that they are like the US oem rear flaps, just made to fit around the sill extension. That is why they are so cheap, and that fits the description on the GG site.

I don't know if Grahm sells them but the Aero Mud Gaurds are Jpn spec and fir with no cutting etc. Only fall back is the price and you must have the real lower lip spoiler.

I have had mine about ten month now and yet to install. If someone wants a pic of them I can go to the garage and take one.

I just got burned on the Imprezza splash guards. The rears work and look great, but it is almost impossible (for me anyway) to modify the front to work. I'm just going to use the rears for now, and look into the GG option that is listed.
