WRX VB Carbon Fiber Exhaust Finisher: Install and Care

What this finisher actually replaces

The r.m.k Design Carbon Fiber Exhaust Finisher is a direct replacement for the OEM plastic trim that sits just above the exhaust tips on the 2022+ Subaru WRX VB. It is not an overlay that sticks on top of the original part. You remove the factory plastic piece and fit the carbon fiber unit in its place.

That distinction matters for both installation and appearance. Because it is a replacement, the carbon fiber sits flush with the bumper rather than adding thickness on top of the existing trim. The result is a cleaner rear-end look that reduces the amount of visible plastic on the bumper.

The finisher is sold as a pair, with left and right units included. The clear coat has a UV protectant to help it hold up against sun exposure.

How to install the finisher without removing the bumper

1. Confirm your model year: This finisher is listed for the 2022+ Subaru WRX VB. Check your vehicle before ordering; the supplied information does not confirm fitment for other generations or models.
2. Remove the OEM plastic finisher: The product is a direct replacement, so the factory plastic trim above the exhaust tips comes off first. The supplied information states that bumper removal is not required.
3. Fit the carbon fiber replacement: Install the r.m.k Design unit in place of the OEM piece. The supplied information describes the install as easy and does not require bumper removal, but it does not list specific fasteners or torque values. If you are unsure about any step, have a professional handle it.
4. Check both sides: The pair includes left and right units. Make sure each side sits flush and secure before you move on.

Why there is no torque spec or fastener list here

The supplied product information confirms that bumper removal is not required and describes the install as easy, but it does not include a step-by-step procedure, fastener sizes, or torque values. Rather than guess, use the general sequence above and rely on the hardware and attachment points already on your vehicle. If you are not comfortable identifying how the factory trim is secured, a body shop or experienced installer can remove it without damaging the bumper.

The product page also includes a disclaimer to read before purchasing. Review that disclaimer before you start, especially if you are ordering internationally or expect to return the part.

Caring for the clear coat and carbon fiber

• Wash with care: The finisher has a clear coat with UV protectant. Treat it like painted exterior trim: use a soft wash mitt and avoid abrasive pads or gritty sponges that can dull the finish.
• Skip harsh chemicals: The supplied information does not list approved cleaners. Stick to mild car wash soap and water, and avoid strong solvents or acid-based wheel cleaners on the carbon fiber.
• Inspect after washing: Check that both left and right units are still secure and that the clear coat looks even. Catching a loose edge early is easier than dealing with a missing piece.
• Mind the sun: UV protectant is part of the clear coat, but long-term sun exposure still affects any exterior finish. Park in shade when you can, and keep the finisher clean so contaminants do not bake in.
