H T Autos do really good quality splitters mate, try there. Should be around the £100 mark. I was very impressed with the one I got for my Hawk.

Flaps, I heard the HT Autos ones are a bit soft and, well, flappy! Is that not so?

I've not had any problems with mine mate. Looks a good bit of kit. It does bend slightly but i'd rather it do that than be solid, otherwise i'd snap it on the kerb at work
The only strange thing was having to use 20 self-tappers to secure it (along with the standard Subaru fixings too).
I've had mine on for the best part of a year now and it's still like new, far better than a more expensive one I had on my old Impreza.

Ok, Cheers mate. Might consider them.

Did you opt for 20 self tappers yourself or were they supplied by HT?

Also, do you think it would survive being drven through deep snow? Aplitters seem pretty flimsy!

The self tappers were supplied with the splitter (all in a HUGE box!) The splitter was also held on by the 5 or so standard bumper trim clips. I didn't like the thought of using the self tappers but was advised to by HT so I did. I think it was 20, it might have been 15, i'll check tomorrow if you like?
No clue on the snow though mate, sorry

Self tappers is exactly what I need on my H T splitter.it sags a little inbetween the end two bolts.....they weren't supplied with mine,may be a new thing.other than this I am very happy with it

if you have to put self tappers in the splitter then it is poor quality and not worth buying.
who wants to put screws all along there bumper??
i got this from ebay for less than £200 and it fits great,no sagging as its carbon fibre so is very stiff and light and it fits on the original bolts on the underside of the bumper.

it is an sti version but a wrx is available

Looks really good. Who was doing them on ebay?

Thanks

Yep!! I would have to agree.That splitter looks awesome!
I know JM carbon have an offer for £200.Is this the same one,or is it cheaper again. For me,I think it's time for a change.
2nd hand HT autos splitter anyone??

I ordered the sti splitter off ht autos at the weekend so once I've resprayed my bumper, that will be going on.. £117.50 it was.

had a ht autos one before and wasnt taken with the fitment or quality.
surprisingly this fits much better and the quality is great.

Ht auto's will not last in the snow they go brittle and shatter! I have had 3 all gone the same way! In the hot weather they distort as well.

So, overall, pretty good?

I do like the look they give, but the hawkeye is pretty low at the front especially mine as it sits on prodrive springs and will scrap a lot if used as an everyday car!
Also the wife drives mine a lot so you have to take that into account, but of course she never scraps the curb, never bumps the front and never leaves it next to old bangers in the supermarket

to stregthen fg modlings you can use builders expanding foam along the back, once dry you cut the excess out, it adds great rigidity too it, and when you get an impact it keeps the bit together rather than destroying it totally lol
