I want to have something more substantial than the thin layer of plastic that came with my Forester...was looking at this company: http://www.get-primitive.com/
I just want some protection from hitting rocks on dirt roads, since I don't have a ton of clearance.
So, any advice is good...do I really "need" this, does it weigh the car down, create drag, etc. I mean, it's a pretty simple idea and all, but I figured there would be some opinions anyway!

HAHAHA uh... you go first!
Edenooch, the Subaru Forestr XT (Turbo) has the Impreza STi block and goodies. FWIW, I'd rather have the XT than an STi, as it's more practical for us outdoorsy folks. They both handle amazingly well. I've not driven the Forester XT yet, though.
Still, the way this 4cyl goes up hills is great, even without. Certainly an improvement over the Corolla I used to have... The only thing I don't like about this car is the AC, which is so weak it's not even funny.
Maybe the AC just needs a recharge, flush, or something. Cabin air filter might be filled with junk. People rarely fix that problem.
And not all Corollas are equal. 8)
One can still get great mileage with a turbocharged engine, but they have to be disciplined with their feet.
Eric, STi's are lots of fun. Lots of grip, excellent power, and the boxer sounds like an animal. The sensation you get when driving one for the first time is that you're riding some angry loud growling animal digging crampon-like claws into the ground with all four of its feet.
