Awesome video and thanks... So does the wing apply lots of weight on the trunk? Because I accidentally slipped my hand when I opened it few days ago, I slipped when I opened half way through and it just jumped all the way back.. did I damage the rubber or plastic ring that stop the trunk underneath the 2 arms that hold the trunks? I was so worried that the wing hit the car or window... But very good video and good work .. Thanks
I'm no expert but I would guess it's critical to get a good continuous sponge gasket connection. When cutting the end of the sponge strip for the base pieces, any gap leftover might need to be filled with some sort of adhesive to avoid moisture accumulation within the bases. Again, I'm not sure if this is an issue in the first place, just speculation.
of the countless STI wings we installed on WRXs we haven't had an issue with water installing in the method of which we do, it's not a bad idea though for added insurance and piece of mind
This should be called Aftermarket STI Wing, because the OEM has more drill slots for stability reasons. I've watched the 2 drill points per sides rip right off cars.
Nice job! I see that subaru recommends Torsion bars for stability? It appears the STI comes with them standard. Did you install these and if not how come?
we did not install them as the parts were not provided by the customer for install. we can do a video on torsion bar installation. let us know if youre interested
Toyota used to sell the Carbon fiber ones for the FR-S my buddy got his with his car and it’s OEM. I can tell you they do fit however it might be heavy on the trunk
Could anyone of you who has this spoiler measure the dimensions of the pillar base? I mean the dimension of the pillar base at the distance between the window and the edge of the trunk lid? Thank You in advance
Thanks for the insight! I’m picking up, and putting on mine tomorrow. I was wondering if it comes with the hardware for 12 holes like the stock STI trunk\wing. It looks like 4 holes?! I’m curious of the stability?!
at this point we've done some "amazon" brand wings and Subaru oem. The amazon units did include aftermarket hardware but the OEM unit included a template so you didnt need to make one
Why did you not use the second layer of trunk for added stability? To just mount to the top layer seems not stable enough noticing the bounce in the spoiler as you closed the trunk.
I just got one as well. Dealership can get you one and then color match it for you when it arrives but the guys I talked to say they’re not super stable and it’s better to swap trunks with a Sti that comes with spoiler. Let me know what you come up with. I really want that spoiler.
Im interested in doing this to my 2019 STI... so do I need to order the grommets, flange nuts, sealer, gasket, etc... or does the spoiler come with a kit??
the hardware was included. here's the link from subaru for the complete wing parts.subaru.com/a/Subaru_2016_STI-25L-TURBO-6MT-STI/_51505_6464558/SPOILER-REAR/V10-921-03.html
This isn't a Subaru OEM Spoiler. Its Aftermarket. They got it from a Subaru dealer it looks like, however I literally have an STI wing sitting next to me. They come pre built and unpainted, also they have more connector pieces than 4 drilling points.
Shitty according to subaru dealership thay say it does not come with template on account the trunk has Indented markers. The paper template is the one sought after.

Isn’t the trunk made of steel? Why would you not do any rust prevention on the drilled trunk hood or the substructure that was drilled?
Where did you get the templates
i liked the video just because of joey’s run but i still enjoyed the whole thing, sick as brother
Is there a way of taking the small spoiler off after putting the wing on?
Update:
Seen it done in a different video and it involves plugging drill holes.
@@jgzero18 Subispeed has a strip cover now. Pretty cool

yes the wing adds notable weight to the trunk
Where did you buy the wing?
Aprisonerofslaveearth Subaru oem
@@Pasny I thought they don't come prepainted from subaru oem
@@Aliveandwelll it came painted from the dealer unless it is no longer offered painted which is a possibility
That is not an oem spoiler. The factory spoilers come with studs and 3 nuts.
@@josehorta464 ohh wow thanks as it did seem a little improperly installed plus a fake. Noticed it was poorly mounted on the trunk closing at the end

What is the thickness of the sponge gasket please?

Yeah, the OEM STI wing has 3 bolts and 3 retainer clips per side.
Please don't wipe metal shavings with your hand a nice paint 😩
Nice video! One question: the link now shows the lip spoiler not the wing. Is the part number different from the wing?
How did you guys acquire a pre-painted one? I called my local subaru and they only seem to sell unpainted. Great vid, Thanks!
subispeed has them pre painted but they’re all on back order so if you were to order one i’d do it now so you don’t have to wait even longer
@@Sylnce Subispeed wings aren’t OEM.

what matetial of the spoiler ?
what is the tool that you used to punch the holes?
Its called a Center Punch
Did the wing come with the template?
the subaru wing does come with a template

Is it pretty stable?
Hello bro...can we install it on toyota vios 1st generation ncp42...i like the spiler...tq
yes fits perfectly
How much does the wing alone weigh?
I want to put this wing on a Focus Sedan. Any idea if that would be possible? Or have I hit a dead end?
we can't promise that it'll fit. it's not something we've tried before.
@@Pasny
Sounds like a good challenge. Thank you 👌
Why did you not use the second layer of trunk for added stability? To just mount to the top layer seems not stable enough noticing the bounce in the spoiler as you closed the trunk.
wouldnt you want to take off the lip spoiler now to complete the look?

Where can I find an OEM wing for a 2021 WRX? Mine in Magnetic Grey

@@petersusia1 if I go stock sti/truck lid swap, I won't need the stabilizers?
I’m not sure bro. Maybe call dealership?

from the dealer it'll come complete painted
@@Pasny the link lists all the colors available but does not allow you to select a specific one; how can we differentiate between colors?
No improved trunk springs?
it's recommended to install an sti trunk springs but this video was how to install a wing
I ordered a kit but it did not come with the sponge gaskets and the double sided tape. Where can I order them?
call your local subaru dealership parts department they should be able to help you
How can I acquire the template
Can you order a spoiler from a Subaru dealership?
Yup. You have to get it painted afterwards
@@petersusia1 awesome! Thanks!
@@petersusia1 I just picked up a spoiler for my wrx! I'm getting it painted Saturday! Thanks again for the info
Let me know how it goes I’m looking at doing the same. Did you get the Sti wing or an aftermarket?
Guys come on, you didn't seal the drilled holes with anything to prevent rust, at all?
Some kits provide the gasket, others don't. It's at the discretion of the customer.
how thick is the sponge gasket?
Where did you get this wing?
Angel Altan subaru
I got a Seibon carbon wing. Do you know where I could buy the template?
I just got mine too. How did you get yours?
@@krystalmusubi4916 template? Didn't. I just drilled up through the trunk where the factory holes should be.
I'd like to know if this will fit a normal 2010 subaru impreza? No sti or wrx
cannot confirm fitment on a 2010 impreza
I hope not.
Will this fit my 2015 wrx someone please tell me
Yes!
Where can I get the template?
In the description
@@Pasnywhat size of bolts did you use? Were they oem? If so what’s the part number?
Did this come from Subaru paint matched
yes it did
@@Pasny thank you so much!
You can give me a copy of the paper that has the points for the holes 😅
not OEM, the OEM has a lot more mounting points
i’m not sure if you’ll see this but i’m just wondering the bolt length and size you used because mine was too long

cannot confirm.
Does subaru sell these STI wings at the dealership?
yes they do with hardware and template with gasket.
@@Pasny does it come painted or no? And would I have to go in person?

Hey, did it come paint matched when you ordered it from Subaru? Thanks for this video. I own a 21 WRX and plan to do the same thing!

Exact !! No oem, bullsh*t.
How can I only get the template?
youd have to find someone who bought one new and saved the template, at this point we dont have it either
How much did you charge to install this?
a hour labor which varies shop to shop, in hindsight the estimate was too low. as of right now 2hrs labor
This video gave me anxiety
Do you have manually installation ? Can you send to me for email
*aftermarket
Yeahhhh I’ll stick with the duckbill 😬
