Strafe Design has a set of side skirt extensions with winglets for a 2015+ WRX. They measure in just a couple of inches longer than our sideskirts so I ordered a set. Strafe Design uses 3mm aluminum composite for their parts so it shouldn't be hard to cut down to match the length. I'll update with pics when I get everything installed.

The splitter is on the car now. It's in the pic on the first post. I'm going to see if I can use the extra pieces I cut off the side skirt extensions to make winglets for the wind splitter. I'll update with more pics when I get the extensions on.

Well I got a few new parts installed the last few weeks and I just got my new wheels and tires in yesterday. I installed the new side skirt extensions too. I bought ones for a WRX and cut them down and made the proper bends to fit. It's a process but I like the way it turned out

All in all nice job on the car though. Didnt know if i would like the orange when it first came out but yours looks great

Oh I wasn't happy at first lol. I got the wind splitter first and the ad on the site said I could add APR splitter rods for like $50 or something like that. So I added the rods. Then when I got the rods they were definitely not APR. I emailed them and got my $50 back. Then the splitter needed to be modified quite a bit to make it fit and look right. I had to basically modify and cut out like 9" and create the right arch to make it look right. I was pissed but in the end it looks great. I knew the side skirt extensions would need modifications as they are not for the sonic but overall I have a nice splitter kit with rods, installed for less than $400.
