In order to get better fitment, you need to adjust placement. Loosen the nuts to where they’re a “loose snug”, push the wing to where the gaps are even. up, down, left, right. You might need to add washers if that doesn’t even out the wing to the hatch gap. Tap the wing with the palm of your hand if needed. However you need to move it to line up, then tighten the nuts down.
You are a life saver!! I just got my 08 STI Hatch with 9k on a built motor. I plan on sticking the big wing on it and didn’t know that JDM Muscle carried them! Was about to buy one of eBay for the same price 🫢

supposed to get it test fitted, shaved down so it sits flush, then paint and mount :) and definitely put double sided tape or something between the glass and the wing otherwise it will bounce around and crack the wing sides

I absolutely love this wing. I want the same one for my car. You've done so much to the hatch that I would like to see a video doing a cost breakdown. 🙌🏾🤌🏾✌🏾
Did you ever make a video for the 14 wrx spot welds for the clutch pedal?? I couldn’t remember if you did. I wanna see how to get the dash apart😂 it’s a super easy job. Take out wipers and motor, drill out spot welds, pull dash, insert bolts and locking nuts. I fixed my clutch issue too! The shop didn’t grease the clutch fork where the slave pushes it and it was making the pedal feel really choppy and noisy. There was also a huge chunk of rust on the slave plunger. My car is back to normal! Just need some miles to take away chatter and I can finally do pulls at 400hp on E and feel the power 🤙
Love the new wang! I definitely agree with a lot of people not being a fan of big wangs I get a lot of shit for mine on my car hah, can’t wait for the Dyno content!!
Yo Tanner do u think that if I changed my 02 Bugeye oil sensor and coolant sensor would be a good maintenance for my engine its got like 130k miles or 150k miles don’t remember. 😂😂 still working on it.

Sad you went with a rep of the Varis wing. There is definitely not supposed to be a step lip on top where it mounts. And it shouldn't have a gap that large with the glass.
I got the same wing from them. Had the same issues with the washer and fitment. Top isn't flush and the gap is a little big on the sides but it's not too bad tho! Especially for the fact that it already comes paint matched. Saves me the work and time of trying to do it myself. It could be better but it was worth it for me personally 😌
