Will blobeye STI winglets fit a blobeye WRX front bumper??

If they do, how do they attach?? Is it clips or bonding??

Yes, but you'll need to drill holes in the WRX bumper to fit them.

As above, yes they do fit but you do have to cut/drill slots in the bumper groove that runs from the edge of the foglight recess. The top of the winglet has 3 tabs which locate into these slots - i cut slots for all three tabs - but some people remove two of the tabs and only cut one slot each side.

In addition to the tabs, the winglets are also held on underneath by three bolts each side which locate into u shaped clips which themselves attach to the bumper. And finally there is the two plastic push clips that fix the winglet to the wheel arch edge of the bumper.

The winglets also come with three other clips fitted to the inside edge - but to fit the wrx bumper these have to be removed.

It might sound like a lot of work - but it is really easy. The hardest part is cutting the slots in your bumper. There a some very good guides on here - i used one by AllanP - but i can't remember his website.

They are easy to fit.....

It took me about an hour per side and I also cut three slots not one.

I used this guide.
