im not to sure i thought it bolted right up but then someone said you have to drill new holes. i would have a professional do it. also i would wait before you get the wing becasue it looks a little funny with the stock 16's get new rims first, just my opion

There are 4 stock wrx wing and the STi has 6 holes. It should be installed by a professional. . . or just wait for an STi guy to go wingless and take up on his offer. Good luck

Yeah, I'd also suggest doing a trunk swap. Have patience you should eventually find someone to swap with. There's usually at least 1 or 2 people looking to swap each week on i-club. No drilling and you wont have to give the dealership any more money than you need to.

Also, check to see what people want in a trunk swap. You may not want to order the stock wing. It seems to me that more people with STi's want to go wingless, rather then down to the stock wing.

Make sure you get the springs to support the STi wing too, when you trade!
