Lightbulb sti aero bits for wrx

Dose anyone have a pic of the aero bits the STI has as standard, but before they were fitted? sounds a silly question but they look moulded onto the STI bumper so do u get a whole corner bit or just the tiny oval ish wing!! cheers. Willsy

Whole corner bit, fits around wheel arch and wraps around to meet with the line around the foglights. Fitting requires the cutting of a small slot into the standard WRX bumper.

Dunno, never done it myself. Just read a piece on here by someone that did Make sure you tell your insurance company too, as they will want to charge you more than it costs to insure an STi for a WRX that looks like an STi If you don't tell, you ain't insured, and that could leave you in a world of hate if the worst happens

I have just fitted them onto my 2004 WRX. This is how I fitted them and I’m sure there are many different ways.

The bottom of the lip fastens into holes provided in the bottom of the bumper and up the side in the wheel arch.

Three grooves need to be cut into the bumper (in the small indent that runs along from the top of the fog light) as there are three plastic clips at the top of the lip.

There are also two plastic plugs on the back of the lip that require holes drilling into the bumper for these to fit into.

Hope this helps.
