１ △0 STI FRONT UNDER SPOILER INSTALLATION MANUAL Genuine part number: E2410VC210, E2410VC220 Applicable model: WRX (VB), 2022MY and later models Precautions 1. Be sure to observe the content in CAUTION for installation described in the main text during the work. Neglecting it may cause dropping of or peeling-off on the part, and also may prevent the vehicle from functioning. 2. Before the installation, turn the ignition switch to OFF, and apply the parking brake without fail. 3. Do not use thinner or the like, otherwise the surface of the STI front under spoiler may be corroded. Also, keep the spoiler away from fire, otherwise it may be deformed. 4. When the ambient temperature is 15°C or lower, warm up all strips of the double-sided tape and around the installation portion of the STI front under spoiler to approximately 25 to 40°C using a dryer or infrared lamp. Local warming may deform the part. Do not use an industrial dryer. 5. Firmly press the double-sided tape to adhere well. If it is reattached, the adhesive performance will extremely decrease. To avoid redoing, position the tape correctly before attachment. 6. The adhesive strength of the double-sided tape increases gradually after the attachment. Do not wash the vehicle within 24 hours after attaching the part. When washing the vehicle or applying wax to the vehicle is required on the day when the part is attached, leave the vehicle for at least 1 hour, and seal the double-sided tape attached portions with tape or the like to prevent water intrusion. In addition, be careful not to apply an excessive force to the STI front under spoiler. (Do not perform a high-pressure or automatic car wash on the day when the part is installed.) 7. When performing an air blow after the installation of the part, keep the nozzle 300 mm or more away from the part. If it is too close, the surface of the part may be peeled off. 8. Perform degreasing so as not to allow any solvent to accumulate in a gap of a component. A liquid pool may adversely affect the coated surfaces, rubber materials, and the like. Use a soft waste cloth to absorb the solvent and wipe the necessary portion. Then, wipe off completely with a dry waste cloth. Tools to be used Clip remover, Gloves, Scale, Awl, Torque wrench, Phillips screwdriver, Ratchet wrench (8 mm), Drill bits (3 mm, 6 mm, 9.5 mm, 10 mm), Fabric adhesive tape, Masking tape, Degreaser (Recommended: Nonane), Waste cloth, Sandpaper, Safety goggles This manual describes how to install and handle the STI front under spoiler.

(1 location at center, RH, and LH, 3 locations in total) (10) Remove the template B. (5) Apply a drill to each concaved position on the bottom surface of the front bumper and the center of each position marked in Section 1. (2) to make a hole. Referring to the figure on the left, make a prepared hole first and then a final hole.

Perform the same works on the RH side of the vehicle as well. – Perform the works in a room at an ambient temperature of 15°C or higher. (When the temperature is lower than 15°C, the double-sided tape will not adhere sufficiently. Warm up the attachment surface and double-sided tape with a heating device or the like. Guide: 25 to 50°C) – If air enters between the tape and the attachment surface, the adhesive strength will become weak. Be sure to firmly press it. 2. Spoiler installation work (1) Peel off the strips of the backing paper from the double-sided tape attached on the front under spoiler ① by approximately 15 mm each from the inner end as shown in the figure on the left, fold them backward, and apply a piece of masking tape to each of them. (Fig. 9) (2 locations each on RH and LH, 4 locations in total) (2) Place the front under spoiler ① onto the front bumper bottom surface, and temporarily fix them with the clips A ⑥. (Fig. 10) (2 locations each on RH and LH, 4 locations in total) (3) Fix the front under spoiler ① first with the clip B ⑦ and then clips C ⑧. (Fig. 11) (3 locations each on RH and LH, 6 locations in total) Push the clip B ⑦ with the tip of a Phillips screwdriver.
