Should I or shouldn't I?
Thinking of fitting the lower lip spoiler (as RB320) to my Hawkeye STI PPP,
The car is Urban Grey Metalic with 18" Prodrive P-FF7's and was thinking it would look good left in black as the car has other black accents, i.e. Upper rear spoiler & rear diffuser.
What do you guys think?
Also where would be the best place to get one? i think genuine from the dealer is a bit ott price wise imo.

I wasn't sure it would make much difference to the lOOks, but i was wrong. It does create a more agressive stance.
View My Scooby for some pics. I got mine from Scott Lowe.

What they said.
Put a Revolution one on my spec.D and it really finishes the front end off. All the cars I see without them look like the front end is unfinished. Subaru should have put one there in the first place IMHO.
Do it.

of the two supppliers mentioned,one of them includes a slighty more substantial way of attaching said splitter to the car although its a little more time consuming to fit.
I have one of each 'kerb alarms' but know which I prefer

Another shout to Revolution here, got mine from there about 6 months ago, cracking piece of kit.
Really finishes the front end of a Hawkeye off, I'd say its an essential modification as it makes the front end look so much more agressive.

Genuine Subaru Sti splitter here too. For such a minor part of the car it makes such a hugh difference to looks and stance.... get one !!!!
Have a look here on Litchfield's Type 25 site and see what it says about the front splitter.
Type25
Or if you cant be bothered the quote is .....
"The Type−25 features a STI front lipspoiler and rubber extension that forces the air up and over the cars front drastically reducing lift. STI claimed a reduction in front lift of over 36%. We subsequently had the lip spoiler tested at research facility MIRA during race car development and found exactly the same results. This large reduction in lift means the car feels more composed, especially at high speed."
So I guess they may well have performance advantages too as well as looking good !!!!!
And on that note I happen to have a brand new genuine item for sale. If your interested PM me...
Cheers !

Can't believe it. Broke mine last night.
That's why i prefer living in the country to the city. Was only going into a housing estate to turn around. Crack as i went slowly up the ramp.
Got out fuming. Cracked badly in the middle.
Can these be repaired? Or did i **** £140 up the wall last night??
