Factory 08 STi front lip spoiler - Page 3

u know i was thinking i like the chargespeed more cause it sits a little lower, then saw more pics on bulletproof and am not thrilled about the open gap in the middle. i imagine it'll be a little more prone to breaking with such little reinforcement where people usually tag parking blocks.

do u need to get the chargespeed bumper in order to use their lip?...

They're using the stock bumper. They have cooling ducts where the fogs/cover used to be.

yeah if someone were to make a chargespeed replica where it actually fills in the gaps, i'd be all over it.

Hi everybody,

I'm from Switzerland and France (just on the border

).
Sorry in advance for my english language...

I ordered my WRX STI one month ago (delivery is expected on middle of september). This is a white one, with BBS rims, Recaro seats, fog light, NAV/GPS, ...
I have also an Impreza MY98 with some specific parts

I'm looking for a JDM Front Grille and JDM Front Lip.

There is something i dont understand on japanparts web site :

Part #317-010-040 (Front under spoiler) :

and Part #317-010-041 (Skirt Lip)

What is the difference between these two part ?

Many Thanks

L.

I hear ya, but I don't think the gap is that bad, IMO. I am definitely considering it over the V-Limited, which does seem pretty subtle. I am hoping to see it on other cars to get a better idea on it before ordering.

I like the gap! Adds some more flair to the front end...

The skirt is simply a piece of rubber that attaches to the under spoiler/lip and besides protecting it from scraping makes it look a little thicker.

Thank you and sorry, I saw the response in this thread

I haven't seen the aero charts for the new lip on the '08 but on my '04 the lip made a very noticeable difference at higher speeds. Gone was the subtle wandering at freeway speeds. The car also responded quicker and smoother to steering input. It's worth it and I'll be getting one for my '08.
