Default Fitting STI skirts to WRX, quick Q's

Hi guys

Just confirming if STI twist sideskirts from a bugeye will fit a Wrx Blobeye and if I'll need any extra parts/hardware to fit them?

Thanks

Don't believe so mate, 2 screws (not including mud flaps) and a few clips underneath. The clips are awkward and very brittle so take your time and be patient. Apart from that their a straight swap.

They'll be prodrive sti skirts as standard sti didn't have a twist on a bugeye. I've fitted them to a blob before you have to remove the black plastic trim at the rear arch for them to fit but is easy enough.

Okay cool, Thanks Wondering whether I should have just painted mine if they'll look odd on a blob

Look awesome, can't wait to get some of my own. I had mine painted but the colour match is well off and bugs the life out of me every time I see my car!

Oem paint is hard to match in my previous experience. I've had 08v and 02c and both have been very slightly off from a few different paint machines

Yeah I agree, best off trying to find some with the same colour from a similar age.
