Can anybody tell me what car this spoiler is off?

How many holes should the STI boot lid have?

ted bass

Not sure about the spoiler, haps a non genuine one, STI boot lid has i think 17 holes in it, but 4 of those holes have plastic grommets in them, so 13 actually holes for spoiler to bolt thru.

Quick example of good ol' eBay

I bought it off a fella from St Austell who breaks a few Subarus. He told me it was a genuine sti item. It wasnt cheap either.
The bootlid has 9 holes inc the one for the brakelight wire.

ted bass

Not sure then, that pic off eBay is a genuine STI boot lid which has the correct amount of holes to match to a genuine STI boot spoiler.

Do all STi have the same number of holes

ted bass

That i couldn't tell ya for sure, fair as i know all newage STI spoilers have 13 holes/4 grommets, someone may be along shortly to answer ya question for definite

the bootlid has some holes that look like a butcher did them.

ted bass

If that's the case its haps a standard WRX bootlid that has summit like 4 holes and i think a couple of grommets normally and its had some extra holes drilled into it.

ted bass

It could still possibly be a genuine STI spoiler but just missing 4 of the bolts coz I believe the bolts or some of the bolts have a flat top to them and they slide into a grove on the underside of the actual spoiler.

ted bass

I think the bolts are also different lengths, not all the same length in every hole.

Next problem which goes where ??

ted bass

I'd imagine the longer ones would go on the ends of spoiler, nearest to the edge of the boot and shorter ones along the middle of the spoiler.

I am trucking tomorrow. I will have another go Monday.
I will see if I can buy some of the small threaded bar with the slit in the end for a screwdriver to turn them.
as you can tell I don’t know what they are called.

ted bass

By the looks of the underside of an STI boot lid i'd of thought the longer bolts, maybe 6 of them would go thru the outside holes, 3 each sides, where the boot lid has a second skin so it's easier to get the nut onto the thread, then shorter bolts in other boot holes.

Then yes sounds original. As all OEM spoilers I've owned have that on, and any that were fake didn't.

You going to post some pictures of your car Dave?.

A fella called Jacob Bonds. I found him on Facebook.

Don Clark

As per Ade_sti
MY03 onwards Spoiler fitment







Looks like you have a Bugeye only rear wing (10studs/nuts and two clips)

Dave Y

You could be right Don

ted bass

We can always rely on Don to to clear things upmust admit i thought all newage STI spoilers would be the same fitment, so Blob/Hawk are the exact the same but a Bug is slightly different, hey you learn summit new everyday.
