06 Forester STi front lip spoiler?

[Sammy C]

Hi guys, I'm after a front lip spoiler for my 06 forester sti. I've seen quite a few on google images and think they subtly lmprove the looks of the front end, providing they're sprayed the same colour. I'm finding it quite hard to find somewhere to buy one though! Anyone have one or know someone/somewhere best to get one?

Thanks!

I'm basically after this!

Front splitter I call them but can be called valance, lips, spoilers,  I've seen some nice Foresters with them on. I think you would need to get a Subaru Impreza or a Legacy one and have it fitted but could be wrong I will do some searching 1st 

I did see this not sure how well it works but might give the look you want with less cost

If you are on a budget go for the option Gambit suggested if not look at JDM options or something like this from AU

Thanks guys! the budget option does seem a very straightforward solution although I doubt you'd be able to spray it?

I've just come across this which looks like it would fit but it's so !Removed! expensive!

I'll carry on looking and might make some calls...

This is quite smart but again I don't know where I'd get hold of one :/

Carbon fibre by the looks of it then or wrapped to look like it is.

2nd one I would say they have bought one for an Impreza and a body shops fitted it. but will have a better look today :) 

[Jay762]

looks like a full carbon fibre one - id go for the value one then save for that carbon one - looks the mutts!!

Ok so guys I decided to go for the cheap eBay job. Thought I'd give my opinion for anyone who might be considering going down this route.... The material wasn't what I was expecting; I thought it would be similar to a wiper blade gasket like material but it's basically a spongy foam material. Looks like it will rip easily and flex easily due to air resistance. I'm not expecting it to last long... I took a snap this morning - excuse the fact that I haven't got round to cleaning the car! I payed around £25 from eBay.

Well quality aside it does set the front off - now all you need is a days to go countdown to when you can order the carbon fibre beasty :D

I agree looks like the real thing on the picture, I guess time will tell how long it will last for but I do like the look of it on :D
