Hi, if you follow the video it really is quite easy - if I can do it in under 30 minutes then it really cannot be that hard.

Just a tip though you might want to double up on the tape on any of the Stiffis other than the middle one as the gaps seem to get bigger the further you move away from the middle of the spoiler. There should be enough of the tape with each Stiffi to allow you to do this.

i have 4 of them on my 05 sti and not really pleased with the finish...as above probably need 2 strips on the outside ones to take up the gap!!!

I've only got 2 at the moment,the problem seems to be when they've been on a day or so (even when the car hasn't moved) they seem to slightly turn inwards at the frontonly a little though!!but i'm very peticular
Didn't know if they all did that,or if it was just the shape of the spoiler?

If you look from behind my car directly behind the middle of the spoiler then the middle Stiffi looks straight and the two outer ones look like they are on the p1$$ and seem to point inwards towards the middle, but then if you look from behind either one of the remaining two then the same can be said from that position as well.

I think it is just the shape of the spoiler and not a problem with the fitment or the Stiffis as I have measured them and checked the straightness with a spirit level.
