The Perrin Performance Trunk Handle (PSP-INR-500) is the interior trunk pull handle that Subaru forgot to include on the WRX and WRX STI sedan. Designed for the 2007–2026 Subaru WRX and 2007–2021 Subaru STI sedan, this simple yet highly functional accessory bolts to the underside of your trunk lid, giving you a clean, ergonomic grip point so you never have to touch the dirty, paint-scuffing exterior of your trunk again. Whether you're dealing with road grime, pollen, salt, or snow, this is the best interior trunk handle upgrade for any Subaru WRX or STI owner who values both practicality and a clean factory-plus look.
Key Features & Benefits
- Solves an OEM Oversight — The factory WRX/STI trunk lid interior is completely flush with no grab point; this handle adds the functionality Subaru left out from the factory.
- Keeps Hands & Paint Clean — Pull the trunk closed from the interior handle instead of pressing down on the painted exterior, eliminating fingerprints, smudges, and dirty hands in any weather condition.
- Durable Hard Plastic Construction — Crafted from high-quality, rigid hard plastic built to withstand repeated daily use without cracking or fading.
- Bold Red Finish — Perrin's signature WRX Red color adds a subtle, sporty pop of color to your trunk interior, complementing OEM and aftermarket red accents throughout the cabin.
- Complete Hardware Kit Included — Comes with a rivet nut, socket cap screw, rivet nut installation tool, and full instructions so you have everything needed for a clean install.
- 5-Year Manufacturer Warranty — Backed by Perrin Performance's industry-leading 60-month warranty against defects in materials and craftsmanship.
- Pairs Perfectly for a Symmetrical Look — Most enthusiasts purchase two handles (one per side) for a balanced, OEM-quality appearance inside the trunk. Price is per single handle.

Installation
Installation is a straightforward DIY job requiring basic tools and a drill. The handle installs by widening an existing pre-punched hole on the underside of the trunk deck lid using a 25/64" (Size "W") drill bit, then setting the included rivet nut with the provided tool and threading in the socket cap screw to secure the handle. Important: Use a drill depth stop or duct tape on your drill bit to control penetration depth and avoid drilling through both layers of sheet metal. A thin piece of sheet metal used as a backer between the trunk panels is recommended by experienced installers as an extra precaution. Drilling is required — no adhesive or clip installation. Most owners complete the install in under 30 minutes per handle. Professional installation is available at any Subaru-specialist shop if preferred.
