I think you'll find they can all be fitted to a WRX. The WRX bumper is identical to the STi apart from the "aero" attatchments on the corners which can be retro fitted (require 2 small slots cutting into bumper). The Lester one is definately OK on WRX as below (look at the scoop, it's a WRX).....

Well just do what I did.... fit the STi corner splitters! (2hrs to work out how to fit the first one, then 30mins to fit the second!).

Now just have to save for the carbon splitter!

the pic corradoboy posted is my car, and its definately a WRX! Really like the splitter, and its almost a clip fit - added some adhesive just in case. Cost me about £200 delivered and painted from superspeed.co.uk

If Scott Lowe does an all in one for the WRX, that could be interesting too Don't know if he'll be replicating the corner splitters.

We are retaining the aerodynamic function of the STi lip whilst making a lip which is custom made for the WRX, very simple to fit. No corner pieces though, purely an 'under' spoiler.

Cheaper than the prepreg STi versions, but no exact price has been set yet.

Also on the front splitter theme, is the WRX 03 wagon front bumper exactly the same as its saloon sibling, or narrower to fit the different front wings?
If there is a difference then will a wagon splitter be appearing as well?

They are different I'm afraid.

Here are some photos of a WRX V-Limited style spoiler (poor quality photos I'm afraid);

I ought to know the answer to this one, but is the Prodrive Style version fitted with a completely different design front bumper to the usual MY01/02 STi?

Here is my new splitter courtesy of Megabusa, hopefully its the first of its kind for the 03 WRX, very nice indeed.

Before


After 1:


After 2:


After 3:


I reckon it really helps the look of the front of the car, top stuff, hat off to Scott (Megabusa)
