Hey guys, how many bolts should the standard wrx spoiler have holding it on. Is it six?

On my car its got a sti rep spoiler which has only has 4 bolts. With 2 missing bolts where the rain is pissing in.

Thanks Mark

 

Car? Model? Year?

There are two on a classic under the rubber bump stops for the bootlid.

Or you could remove the spoiler and refit it with a layer of Tigerseal, or Sikaflex around the unused holes, sealing it and fixing it at the same time.

 

Its 56 hawkeye, it might be easier if i take a pic and upload it. To show what it looks like.

 

4 on the 06-07 WRX

 

Cheers for the help. Well whoever had the car before me. Did a rubbish job at fitting the spoiler. There are two more holes but dont line up so they didnt bother to fit the bolts.

Well went to the body shop today and Im joining the de-spoilered brigade!

 

Hey Mark, is that a High Rise STI spoiler up for sale then?
Just missed out on a genuine one this week and am totally gutted

 

how many bolt holes does an original sti high spoiler have off a bugeye as ive bought fifers one so i know if i need to drill holes in mine and get new nuts for it

 

Nah it'll never fit mate you might want to give that one a miss

Not sure but I thought the genuine STI spoiler has 4 bolts same as the low rise spoiler. The replica ones have more bolts, maybe 7 or 8, but are heavier so probably require more to hold them down. Hopefully someone will confirm that though as I haven't got one yet

 

Mate its not genuine and its in a right state.

 

whats in a right state the one you have or the one im going to buy

 

forget it just reread the thread

 

Really that bad

 

The genuine STI spolier on the Hawkeye has 11 holes, the WRX has 4.

 

As above genuine STI spoiler has 11 or 12 holes (i cant remember which) the standard WRX has 4

 

You will need to do as i did and drill an additional 7 holes in your bootlid

 

Thats what im having to do but i need to get the extra 7 nuts and bolt but where do i get them

 

Damn, cheers for the info. Any good templates around?
