Since someone asked, there are urethane mudflats that are 1/3 the cost of Rally Armor.
I just ordered a set of the 'simplified' (more my style, the original look a bit oversized) http://www.ebay.com/itm/321026873742...84.m1497.l2649 www.Flapatax.com or search for flapatax on ebay when the above link is dead. They sell two styles, pictured below, both styles are on ebay or their site, along with full mounting hardware and instructions. http://www.subaruforester.org/vbulle...09/index2.html This is cross posted from a different thread, but I see people are discussing them here. I almost pulled the plug on the Rally Armors, but these look pretty much the same, stiff urethane, and 1/3 the price. Nice reviews on the internet from other subaru owners, if that matters to you.

Is the block heater worth it?
At the dealer, with installation and taxes, it would cost me around 300$ |

I live in Vancouver. Unless you're the kind that feels ultra-protective of your car, it's not necessary for a block heater or battery heater here. Go about 1-2 hours into the interior, and it's probably a bit more justified towards getting such accessories. |

I think it is worth it, car warms up much faster, under 1 mile at 10f |

I live in Ontario and this morning the temp is a blistering -15 C without windshield. Yeah in most part of Canada you do need a blockheater. Quite often new cars come with the bh already installed but this subbie didn't. Can't remember what the dealer charged me.

Temperature starts to level off after about 2 hours.

Mostly. The block heater gets the engine X degrees warmer than ambient. The temperature difference between running the heater overnight and running it for the two hours before you take off is small. The rest is wasted energy.

The only thing I don't like about the block heater is that the car will start, then the rpm well bounce a bit and then idle high(but not as high) must be because of all the emission stuff is not to temp? |

It might have to do with some areas of the engine being warmer than others when you first crank it. On mine, temperature readings fluctuate a bit as the water pump starts running, then the engine calms down after about 30 seconds. I don't think it's cause for concern.
