Default 2008 wrx side extensions

Hi guys,

I'm in the uk and was wondering whether anyone knows where I can pick up a pair of side extensions and front lip for a 2008 wrx hatchback ?

they are slightly smaller and I think that's why he said they wouldn't fit but they are around 3/4 smaller than the sill on the car so you don't notice

Hello,

I've just bought the side extensions and noticed that the side skirts sit at a sloped angle when filling down the side of them! What position did you tape and drill yours when you put yours on ?
