yo can fit the fog covers mate,but you will have to remove your fog lamps and surrounds
also the end sections of the sti bumper will not fit unless you buy a sti front bumper

places like mro/dr motorsports do front splitters for the wrx with end extensions on to give it that sti look

The front splitters do fit cos ive fitted them to my WRX03.You will have to drill two slots on either side of the bumper to align up with the pegs on the side overlays and take off the insert pegs that are down the middle of the overlays/splitter.Its difficult to explain but i am no expert but it took me about 1 hour to do both sides.I am only refering to the end overlays that sweep round to the front as fitted as standard to the STI and can be bought from a Subaru dealer for about £126inc for the pair ready painted..P.S you will need a few extra push in pegs to fix it along the bottom and wheel arch edge powerman

Would have to check with my brother, prolly a couple of weeks so he could make moulds. ( he did a couple of sets of old sti style ones for me)


Yea DJ have seen them on some sites in the states, about £95 a set from what have seen.
Have also seen some kevlar fabric that has different colour in the weave.. red, blue, yellow, green blah blah...that would prolly look good

here's a pic I found from a nasioc group buy

I have heard there being problems with CF on tight angles an stuff, spose it could depend on the weave/thickness of cloth.
My brothers a fabricator in all sorts of materials inc FG, CF, Kevlar etc, i'll ask him !!

think the place that's making these would have taken all that into consideration (weave/thickness of cloth ) but nobody seemed to like these done in c/f when it was first posted
