I'm looking for one of these, what's the finish like? I 'd like to know how you get on with the fitting. Cheers, Mick.

you dont have to use all of the 8 holes, i used the four original wrx holes, and drilled two in the middle.

I used all the holes for mine. I found the middle was a little bowed and by putting the middle bolts in it drew it down nicely and it sits perfectly now.
Made my own template measured about a dozen times but still the holes were very slightly off - it is quite difficult to get them all just right!

A handy hint from a body shop......

Get a piece of masking tape and stick it to the bottom of your spoiler ( covering holes ) with enough length to overhang the sides, pierce tape where holes are, put in position , then tape the overhang to your boot, carefully lift off, mark out holes and drill.
Hope thats understandable

DRMotorsport provide markers to stick in the spoiler holes, take them out and you know where to drill in the bootlid. makes it much easier.
