Its an easy DIY job..just follow the youtube video. Only advice is take your time - measure twice cut once! I found that drilling a line of small holes and carefully opening them out into a slot works best and also you can keep offering up the winglet to the bumper to make sure you don't go too far. The slot is nicely covered by the winglet anyway. The rest of the fixings under the bumper are already on your WRX bumper so you'll just need some M6 stainless nuts, bolts and washers to complete. Be careful with the cheap copies or second hand winglets - they often don't follow the contour of the bumper perfectly and look shabby especially if they have been ripped of another car. The black rubber trim is a must and i don't think the cheaper copies come with them. Do it right and there should be no need to use any glue at all.
