Thinking of getting this spoiler for my 300 lmt.What do you guys think? like it or not.
I don't want the sti spoiler,want to be a little different and i like the fact that it is genuine Subaru.
Opinions wanted thank you

Go for it will make the car stand out and by the look of it should fit in the original holes - you need to drill extra holes in the WRX boot lid to fit the STI spoiler.

bear in mind modding it from standard will reduce its value when you come to resell (because of the limited edition).

keep origional and return to standard if you sell.

I like these, and I've only ever seen one out on the roads so it's different enough to stand out.

I think I was the first to spot one and post a picture...

go for it.
keep the old one for putting back on when you sell it to keep it original and get good money back for the prodrive one as it's a rare find

just find out if you need any additional holes drilled, if you don't then it's an easy swap

I don't think any more drilling is required. These are the only pictures I have (excuse the size). The spoiler 'uprights' echoe the line of the rear screen:

As long as it's not on a totally standard wrx.
In standard form the wrx looks a bit tame and that spoiler is pretty hard looking, so your car would need to be slightly modded, imo.

Final price i paid was as follows.

Spoiler and torsion bar set £648:00

Painting and fitting £250:00

Subaru quoted £380:00 for the painting and fitting but my uncle owns a body shop so i saved my self a few pennies.

I like it. Prefer the STi spoiler myself, but it should look good.

Post some pics when you have it done!
