Did that.. And mine came off around 135 mph.. the connections and 3m was not enough to hold it. So I guess i have to get an STI bumper setup to do it properly
@atim0tea - No, because I have the wagon, the holes did not line up (except for a few in front for which I put pop-up fasteners). I had to put screws in on the sides or drill holes and put speednuts (forget which one I did now--speednuts aka u-nuts are more secure than just screws).
@mishmosh2000 ^^^ seeing as this is somewhat of a tutorial, things like that are really good to know for someone planning to do this. I did this exact same thing to my 05 rex sedan and the lip was a huge pain in the ass to put on, because the fasteners wouldnt fit in each hole of the wrx, i ended up having to use my splitter bolts and clips in other areas, as well as not being able to use the screws the lip came with because there's nothing on the bumper to thread them into.
Certainly, but to me, it doesn't add much and to be effective, you have to get the holes perfectily placed. If you wanted, some 3M extra heavy duty mounting tape on that front side will also work. I did not add anything and that front is on tight with no gaps.
I hear you. I had the same uneasiness before doing it as well--nobody want to mess up their baby. But as you'll find, it is hard to mess up. Take you time and enjoy the process.
I recently added the factory side spats to give the rear of the vehicle some fullness to match the front. I like it a lot!
I have an H1 HID conversion kit (from a NASIOC vendor a few years back) and made sure to lower the aim to avoid glare. My fogs have yellow vinyl overlays. thanks for the comments!
Beautiful! Beautiful! Makes a world of difference! I've got an '05 Wagon, and will be getting the splitters and lip now and doing this. Thanks so much for posting!
Thanks for the vid! Got the splitters yesterday and the BaysonR lip today and will be probably be installing them on my '04 JBP WRX Wagon this weekend.
thanks for the vid. REALLY helpful! i'm planning to do this exact same mod with the v limited lip from baysonr hahaa. But i'm doing this to my aspen white sedan. anyways thanks again and your wrx looks great after the mod!
the v-limited lip is made to go with the sti splitters. fitment is better on the sedan. whatever bolts/retaining fasteners line up, you use. anthing that doesn't, you drill a hole for. not hard. just the lip will take about an hour.
please tell me where to purchase a set, other than a forum much apreciated bro.

Pretty much. For the sedan, fitment should be perfect--you just need the 3 slots on either side for the splitter.
