Liked the look of the STi rear underspoiler offered for the new 2015 car
so, given the similarity between the models decided to get one and see if it fitted
As supplied, currently only available AFAIK in the US and Australia:-
Bumper cover and beam off for test fit ....
..........to find that brackets foul the bodywork as arrowed.
Following some slight bending and panel beating, brackets clear of bodywork
After test fit with bumper beam back in place the mount brackets required some slight modification to fit
Bumper back on and test fit shows wing to be close to bottom edge of bumper.......
..........however as I have an HT Auto rear diffuser I wanted to use the two together, so made up some lowering brackets so that it would sit below it .........
Silver wing not to my liking or matching my theme so now satin black to match the rest of the bottomline kit
(with genuine white STi sticker )

Lovely car, I like your choice to go for OEM STi parts rather than most others, it goes to show that you can have a delightful looking Impreza without the need of lots of aftermarket parts
Have you thought of a roof vane spoiler, such as the ones on the hawkeyes? I haven't seen it done before so may be a bit of overkill or not? The only thing I would add to the cosmetics would be a Spec-C roof flap; if you are into those things

Was after something different to the usual Rota/Inovite route and these gave a better ET "fit" for what I wanted.

They should do, the ET48 (OEM wheels ET55) fill the arches more on the MY11 model.
You need to be sitting down for this
I got mine via the Swss European dealer as the postage was far far cheaper than shipping in from the States or Japan direct.
They were also "out of stock" in Japan when I ordered, so had to wait.

Since fitting them, I've never been happy about the way the rear Chargespeed bottom line pieces just "ended" without blending into anything, so have made a few changes since Trax.
As before..........
Now................
Have "upgraded" to a Liberal Auto full width diffuser and amazingly the underspoiler remains at the same height.
OPTICAL ILLUSION: Any difference in shape of the parts running under the exhausts is due to the photo angle and the various compound curves involved
Also did a DEPO LED rear light upgrade as well
Diffuser arrived as an FRP kit which need a certain amount of work to sort out the separate vanes on the rear bumper attached section.
It also need modding to accommodate the underspoiler mounts............
Diffuser images below show the VERY expensive Carbon finished version
Manage to get it all done for RallyDay............

Don, it may be the shadows but do you still have your rear diffuser and STI rear splitter fitted their?
Also, what make was your old rear diffuser and did you sell it?
Cheers

Arron,
"Liberal Auto" full width rear diffuser currently off for repair and repaint. (A loose "bolted down" speed hump made contact with the underspoiler.
Should be back on for Japfest

Flexible stiffeners seem to only be listed as part of the Performance Package at the moment (Original Japanparts part number 1008P STi 020-005 / STi part number ST20118ZR000 )
