tysonK · 2009-04-12, 12:59 PM

keep wing.

van · 2009-04-12, 01:42 PM

STI=Keep wing
EVO=No wing

ScottyS · 2009-04-12, 01:58 PM

Wingless is sooooo 2005.

Dean · 2009-04-12, 02:06 PM

A minor variation of Van's

STI=Keep wing
WRX=No wing

EVOs look horrible without wings.

Another variation:

Tracked = keep wing.
Daily driven = remove wing.

I *hate* the stock STi wing. Took mine off within a month. Much less notice from ricers, LEO, etc.

OP. What other things have you done to the car? Supporting visual mods usually make the decision for me. I like wingless on some, sti wing on some, and the wrx wing on others. It all depends on your wheels etc.

Dean · 2009-04-12, 05:31 PM

Since I am old and therefore know how to sit on a porch a whittle, I plan on getting a couple 2X4s hunks and carve some spacers to raise the top foil up and out of the middle of the back window.

(Yes, I know they sell them for some rediculous amount.)

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-04-12, 05:56 PM

Dean just sculpt an sti wing out of ice.

Compromise... Limited Spoiler

100_Percent_Juice · 2009-04-12, 07:22 PM

There is no compromise with the limited. It is pure awesome! Are you listening Khail? As soon as you are tired of yours, I have first dibs!

MattR · 2009-04-12, 07:26 PM

mmm...limited spoiler, on a limited even! Yes, they look great.

get rid of the wing.

STi - remove wing
EVO - keep wing
WRX - remove wing
Limited lip/wing = best

WRX06TR · 2009-04-12, 08:03 PM

ZOMG I said something that people agree on!! Woot!!

DaveWRX · 2009-04-12, 09:47 PM

Personally on the sti I would say wingless with the sti roof vein. But it looks best with car a little lower

sybir · 2009-04-12, 10:00 PM

Roger, lowering is a must for a wingless STi, otherwise it looks naked.

I have a Mines lip I still haven't put on, I'm leaning towards a Limited lip.
I also have a Ureshi carbon rear window spoiler (think Hamann E39/E46 piece) that I'm procrastinating on....I don't like the STi upper wing without the trunk wing, as they're supposed to work together. The longe rI keep the back clean, the more I like it.

I also have the stock trunklid/wing hanging in the garage should I decide to switch back. IMO, it makes more sense to buy a wingless trunk and get it painted and be able to swap instead of tracking down someone else's setup. One of the Sac guys is selling a PSM WRX-winged trunk in perfect shape, with full STi badging, if you want to split the difference and not go full wingless; I think he only wants $250 and I can put you in touch if you want.

Evo Mike · 2009-04-12, 10:54 PM

keep it!

Evo = wing
STi = wing
wrx = no wing

wrxkidid · 2009-04-12, 11:59 PM

I hate the wing. lose it.

Some evos look good wingless but most look better with it.

cody · 2009-04-13, 08:23 AM

Another variation:

STi in CA=no wing
STi in NV=wing

You're way more likely to get pulled in CA for an attention attracting wing and then they see your other mods...

khail19 · 2009-04-13, 10:00 AM

Maybe I am biased, but I definitely like the Limited spoiler. I was wingless for a while, but it looks better with the lip to me.

^Are those new wheels?
