They are IMHO the best value splitters on the market. Stronger than fibre glass pieces and generally just as cheap. I'm on my second one now....

Easy enough to fit yes once you know what your doing !!

You should find the 4 main lugs towards the front of the bumper line up with the lugs in the "corner" of the splitter. Pull these out and attach the splitter to the car using these 4 lugs.

Once it's on the car, you can use self tapping screws or bolts with washer's nuts to secure it to the car better, I stuck a couple of extar one's in the front and one at either end by the wheels and mine's rock solid.

I could be wrong but I think you might need the STI winglets to fit one to a WRX unless they now do a specific splitter to fit WRX's, HT Auto's also sell the winglets.
Fitting the splitter to a blobeye STI is easy, the pre drilled holes in the splitter line up with existing holes in the bumper .
Sounds like the Hawkeye version fits differently.

do everything everyone else has said but a line of extra bonding glue helps with the fitting and adds a little extra strength/rigidity imo

They are a doddle to fit mate, won't take long... DO NOT bond the splitter to the car, I had to have my car aligned the other day and the splitter had to come off as the lasers on the wheels wouldn't come down far enough to get under the car with the splitter on.

Awesome quality splitters. Mine arrived in a day, with all the fittings supplied and it fitted perfectly - what more can you ask for?
