- Product Review
I ordered this as part of a conversion project to a Legacy STI S402. the part arrived well packaged, with hardware, template, and instructions. It's an unpainted part so be prepared to either have an auto body shop paint it for you or invest in prep material to do-it-yourself.
You will also need an electric drill with 3mm, 7.5mm, 8mm, 10mm, 15mm hole saw, torque wrench, measuring tape, scissors, touch-up paint, white gasoline (or similar to clean surface of any natural body oils while handling), rags, newspaper, masking tape, clip remover, file.

CAUTION: The drilling surface is angled downwards, so work carefully to avoid misalignment.

- Pull off the remaining pickup tape and press the spoiler body.
ATTENTION: The pickup tape will break if pulled too hard, so please peel it off slowly.
- Fully tighten the loosely fastened nuts (tightening torque: 6N1).
- Press the spoiler body again to firmly press the double-sided tape.
