Default Low-level spoiler fitment

Hey guys,

Quick question.....I own a 2003 JDM sti, currently fitted with a high-level spoiler. I want to fit a low-level spoiler as I like the look. How easy / hard is it to do the swap?

Peter.

Easy to do but it would leave you with extra holes in the boot lid I'd expect. You maybe better off buying a complete bootlid with the spoiler.

The swap is easy but bear in mind that the high level spoiler leaves more mounting holes in the bootlid than the low level one needs ?

Some of the 'spare' holes are in places that the WRX style low level spoiler won't cover up.

You could get them filled and painted but expensive and not really the best solution.

The easiest way would be to do what I did and find a bootlid and low level spoiler in the correct colour and fit that ?

Remember that you will also need to swap the long tensioning springs that run under the rear shelf, otherwise the boot shoots up with a bang with the lighter low level spoiler fitted.

i've just done the opposite swap, the holes line up and where the wire goes through. but there are about 8 more holes through the boot for the sti and they won't be covered with the wrx spoiler,

have a look for a complete boot lid, or ask for a swap
