What's the fit like ?
They seem to offer very reasonable prices and supply sprayed already.

Thanx

To be honest fit isnt too bad, a bit of a gap between the spoiler and boot under the brake light, but think that could be due to the sticky foam added on the ends lifting it up in the middle, going to see how it fits without the foam on the ends. Apart from that the holes line up with the studs perfectly. The brake light required a little triming off the one corner to make it fit a bit neater, but overall generaly a good fit.

That's good to hear... the holes are the most important thing to line up the rest is workable after that, one thing I would say is just to be carefull if you take any of the foam off that you don't scratch your boot with the wing rubbing on it, also a small gap may be a good thing and it may be in the design... when water pools on the boot if it gets under the spoiler in needs to get out somewhere, just keep an eye on where the brake light cable enters the boot it may be worth filling that entry point with silicon just incase of leaks.
My old car was a bugeye with high Subaru supplied wing on it, it leaked like hell that's why I know some of the areas to keep an eye on.
Needless to say I changed under warranty and had the UK300 wing fitted !!

I hadn't thought about the removing the foam and causing the boot to be scratched, may leave it as it is, you can only see the gap when the boot is open and really look for it, so as you say for drainage reasons and protecting the paint it may be an idea to leave it as it is !!
As for the brake light cable entry, it passes through a hole in the base of the spoiler and trough the hole in the boot and as of yet it hasn't leaked and we have had some rain up here in the last few days !!
But will keep and eye on it cheers !!

Default Now that is style at it's best!

Wow!!!!!!!!

Absolutey wicked scooby-mark, i reckon that sets the rear end off perfectly. It makes the whole thing look a lot more aggressive i reckon.

If i'm perfectly honest the original rear wing always looked a little flat and out of place really but now that thing will really turn heads (eh! it's a subaru...of course its gonna turn heads) but now it'll keep'em looking!
