i may go wingless if i get a roof spoiler.

I've debating debadging my trunk of everything except the STi badge, or plastidipping the emblems so they aren't chrome, giving them a "ghosted" look. That keyhole ****s it all up. I suppose I could plastidip it as well and just touch it up from time to time.

Wingless looks great on a lowered car with proper wheel fitment and a roof rack/vane spoiler, but you will notie a difference in the way the car handles even at highway speeds.

They were actually gaining 1-2 MPG's by going with the WRX spoiler or even no spoiler. It's because the spoiler is actually functional.

Some more info on it if anyone is interested:
Is Subaru WRX STI Wing Worth Keeping? Or Is That Spoiler Useless? | R U Subaru? - Tuning Forced Induction Cars and Alcohol Injection

lol.....

that spoiler is functional, but its not like the car is suddenly not going to stick to the road. get over it and take that monster off.

(lip spoiler+ roof spoiler)- ride height+ (new wheel*4)=

= my car.

i want the roof wing so bad, but its $450 from genuine subaru parts and i still have to drill into the car to mount it.

nick pull the trigger, and shave the decklid

450 isn't bad. Now drilling into the car would make me **** myself.
