damn, ordered this already too.. I guess ill just stick it on, and use the clips to cover the holes too

Looking at the pics, I can't see how those clips would offer any more support over 3M
Bolts yes. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 |
Yeah put it and if you like it drill the hole

The clip are to just cover the wholes on the gurney flap, not meant to provide any more support. I dont want to drill into my spoiler... edit: sorry I get what you mean.. yeah those clips drilled in probably wont do much for more support.. |
The clips are a fail safe. If the 3M tape fails, then the clips would keep the gurney attached.
Kinda the same reason that there were like 17 holes for the 04-07 STi high wing and we have 7 or so in our low wing. |
Got my tracking info today! Like to see one installed if anyone has gotton around to it yet :thumbsup:
|
I mocked it up last night, but it was too late to take any decent pictures. The 'so-so' quality of the wing looks 10x better when it is actually on the car. In my opinion, looks better than stock. I'll definitely be putting it on!
|
Cant wait to see... With the darker colors this may add a bit of flair without the "too much add on" look..
|
Mine arrived in NY today hopefully at my house by Saturday!
|
this thread needs more pics!
|
Installed it today! It's smaller than I thought but I think it looks good and adds that needed flair to the low stock wing.

Looks great! Thanks for the update :thumbsup: How did install go, did you just use the 3M or did you also drill the holes ? |

Yeah it looks like the 3M covers a good majority of the lip, so long as it went onto a clean surface it should be rock solid! Did you fill in the two holes ? |
Looks good on your white car!

Ok thanks! That's what I thought, so basically drill the hole just big enough for the push pins to lock into the hole :thumbsup: |
Yeah dont drill hole for that little thing. It probably does nothing. Just cut it up and cover the holes

I installed mine earlier this week. The industrial grade 3M tape should be more than sufficient to hold this piece in place. Properly prepping the contact surface of the spoiler with a degreaser (like alcohol) will ensure full adhesion. I chopped the pins so that they are tall enough to bite and lock into the thickness of the rubber flap but short enough to clear the stock spoiler. It's a better finish than just leaving the holes exposed (where dirt would otherwise collect).
Edit: This is the same rubber material and 3M tape used on the rubber skirt flap that attaches to the STI front lip and I didn't even drill that in either; it's staying on with just 3M tape and has scraped against pavement a few times a month, withstood 80mph 1+ hrs freeway driving head on, car washes/rain, and it's still on there strong. |
Can we get some distant shots of the back? Thanks!

I got mine on Friday and I have no idea how to properly install it since the included instructions are in Japanese. Do you have to remove the spoiler from the trunk lid and take it apart? Any trimming? I need help translating the instructions or some installation pics please.
|
No need to remove the oem wing just clean/prep area and carefully using the provided 3m tape put it on following the edge of the wing.
|
Thanks for the tips, got mine installed!
I did drill the required holes after mounting it with the included 3M adhesive tape to put in the included pins as reinforcements. I'm happy with the overall fit and finish of it as well, and I really like the way the OEM spoiler looks with it now. Subtle aggression. http://i.imgur.com/a8WXR.jpg http://i.imgur.com/37uvf.jpg |
Looks great!
|
I think that would be nice with the Chargespeed lip kit ! Thanks for the pics

Do you remember what size of holes you drilled ? ;) |
For you guys that have installed the gurney flap so far, how are you finding fitment ? Do you start flush against one side and it's snug when you get to the other side ?
Got mine today! :thumbsup: |
