Guys don’t use electrical tape you can buy rubber or plastic plugs for where those clips are that hold a spoiler on there’s three of them and they’re a teal green color and you can lift the spoiler higher than three-quarter inch if you like but you have to get longer bolts and I used red thread locker and let it cure for 24 hours if you never plan on removing your spoiler again. Thank you for the video it would’ve taken me a lot longer to figure out how to remove it without this.
Nice to finally see someone doing something with this car. I just picked up a 2019 5 door Impreza 5 speed. Needed this one and the grill vid. Great job!
I know, I’m late. But I just did this on my 2019 Crosstrek and I love the subtle look. With todays prices it was about $35.00 for the exact same setup. I really hope rain doesn’t become an issue but this was fun, thanks so much
That's a retaining clip that holds the spoiler on during assembly. It's supposed to be clipped in the wing but since you're raising it up you obviously don't need it. It's not a shock absorber though.
Dom, nice job. I’m actually looking at this on my Crosstrek. My complaint isn’t a need for an aggressive wing but a wing that’ll help clean the rear window. I wash the car and drive down on road and the rear is a mess. I use all my washer fluid on that rear window.
I like this not so much for the looks (and it looks good) but because now rain water washes off the back. I have a 2013 Crosstrek. Yesterday I noticed rust around the rear washer nozzle in the 3rd brake light. In order to get the light off I had to get the wing off first. There was a lot of dirt and debris under the wing. Once I cleaned it, I found a line of surface rust on the hatch metal.
I did this exact mod and I wanted to put it back to normal a couple weeks after and I did but the sealant doesn’t work anymore so the sides are lifted up still, is that a worry with rain at all?
Chris H well.... there was a time where I spent an hour trying to fish it out lol. So I figure if I can save some people the headache, I will. Thanks for the support.
I have a 2018 blue Subaru Impresa Do you think this mod would be OK with a black spoiler from a Crosstrek? I'm worried about how it's gonna look with the blue paint under the spoiler.
IMPORTANT! READ THIS!
You will also need..
-6 (M6-1.0x25mm) bolts to replace the original bolts.
Thank you 11BNUFFY for informing me on my mistake.
Glad I can help, I enjoy all the videos you post.

25mm is too short I tried it cuz I read this comment and I had to go back to the store

Nice cameo by Penny.
Great step by step. Really looks great!
Thank you!

Great job! I could ALMOST tell that you did something to your car!!!
Almost

Does this video apply directly to a 2013 crosstrek or will I have to make alterations

Who’s 4th gen Impreza wagon js parked by ur curb at 6:03?
Good call on that magnet. 10 seconds to remove that socket vs spending half the job fishing out sockets and bolts.

niceee, cant wait to see whats next
The dog is really cute....and a big thumbs up for the video.....
#loved the Video
Hey dom I have a 2017 impreza hatch and I'm wanting to put a turbo on it what do I need to do to convert it ?
The only thing about this mod is I wish you could tilt the wing to make it super aggressive.
2 years too late, but you could by making the spacers on the corners shorter and the center ones longer
Is it possible to put a WRX Impreza hatchback after market spoiler??
I have a 2018 blue Subaru Impresa
Do you think this mod would be OK with a black spoiler from a Crosstrek?
I'm worried about how it's gonna look with the blue paint under the spoiler.
The spoilers on the 2018 crosstrek and Impreza are the same thing. I wouldn’t do it though. Just roll with it stoxk
You’re my hero
Thanks bro!
Nice! Thanks for videos, instant subscriber
11BNUFFY thank you, I appreciate that
@@DomFillari have more specs on the spacers? I plan on buying some today and just want to make sure I get the rights ones.
Yes
Nylon Spacers
257IDx1/2ODx(1/2 in long) & (1/4 in long)
@@DomFillari Perfect. Thank you so much. I'm also on Impreza5 forum which led me here.
Nice! I appreciate the support
This guy sounds like ChrisFix lmao 🤣 cool video, man!
Right on!..
Thank you!
Just like that!
boom!
Personally I think I would have done the smaller spacer before the bigger one on the last two inside ones
What are your thoughts on going 1” instead of 3/4” on the spacers?
I went 1 inch its nice
Chucks Tylors what car do you have?
Where did you get the spacer?
Home depot
@@DomFillari thank you!
GOT EMMM
Can you still open the hatch all the way? Planning to try this on my crosstrek 2nd gen. Hoping it's the shit
No bad,taller will be nicer,I think 👍
I have 5 door Impreza five speed needs a face lift.
I have something for you to plastic dip
what you got?
How much for this? I will pay you.
FYI 2018 hatches have different bolts which are shorter!!!!!!
If yours are different, get 6 bolts that have the same thread size with an extra 3/4inch length
@@DomFillari that's the plan. Making another trip to the hardware store tomorrow.
Sorry bro. Keep me posted on the mod, I can’t wait to see it.
Also, can you send me the specs or the bolts that where on yours? Where they still 8mm?
@@DomFillari They are still 8mm, just shorter and black.
I rather make a custom duckbil wing
holy eyebrows!!!!
hahaha funny bro
