Default STI Spoiler on WRX bootlid

Do people drill the extra holes or just remove the extra studs and use the 4 WRX holes plus strong double sided tape and something like tiger seal?

it needs drilling to do the job properly, also the spring wont be strong enough to stop the boot slamming due to extra weight.

I fitted mine with the 4 wrx fixing points, with the intention of sourcing an sti boot, I haven't got an sti boot yet and the spoiler is still holding well after 2 years

I fitted both of the sti springs, but when I used the release lever the boot came flying open. so now I have one wrx and one sti spring and that seem ideal

Did you use any adhesive to help secure it?

Interesting. Think I will use some number plate tape but to be safe.

If I was going to fit it again I would use some sort of double sided tape as well as the screws

me and a friends are held just using the 4 standard holes and tape round the edge. had no issues as yet. obviously more bolts would be better but its always one of those jobs that you say youll get round to in your head, yet when its still in place 4 months later never seems to get done lol
