The bottom line of the spats looks higher than the diffuser?

Ordered them late Monday evening/Tuesday early A.M. hours of last week and got them this Thursday morning so about 10 days.

Yep. If they had made them level I'm sure that there would have been a fitment issue. It's not as fluid a transition as I would like but it looks "finished" now.

The install like all the other pieces was very straight forward. I didn't even put it on the lift. Just jacked from the diff, took my time and it was less than an hour.

Love your car man. I just hunkered down and purchased full seibon cf kit, front lip, sides, and rear. The seibon rears look just like your sti ones. Like the shape and how they have a fin.

So, only HT Auto's rear spats bottom line can align the OEM rear diffuser?

Hmmmm, yes and no. The Ht kit is close but it is still a little higher than level, at an entirely different angle, shape, color, etc.. The Ht is good if you wanna go cheap and are going after a different look than OEM.

I think that if you go full Ht, STi, Seibon, Password, etc it will be fluid. But I wouldn't mix and match many of these pieces.

Another difference is the HT Auto spat looks like it follows the curvature of the rear bumper. The STi piece does not follow that curvature as there is a metal bracket that extends down and out of the bumper to secure the spat. Another difference, I believe, is the entire STi kit is designed to be aerodynamically functional.

Also, you'll find a brushed metal STi decal on the underside of the rear skirts if you were to look up from underneath the car. x]
