neither unless your suspension and brakes are done. if you just have to have one look online. most stores and vendors here on i-club sell kits and lips. telling you from experience though they are a waste of time and money. you'll get more attention from the cops too. just stick to the basics and work on the handling and braking. you'll be happier in the end i promise.

What you got?

What do you have in mind? I would go for the lip, because it might be cheaper and it can still serve the same purpose. Show us what you are thinking about.

if all you have are the flex then i would say spend the money on a good rear sway and endlink combo, maybe rear strut bar, ss brake lines, steering rack bushings, and a good set of tires. doesn't make sense to have a car that looks fast if you can't control it or stop it when it gets there.

That's what the V-limited looks like on an '04 STi. The style is a little different for the '06-'07, but you get the picture. I also have the STi Limited rear lip spoiler on there as well. The rear lip spoiler and trunk just so happen to be for sale too!

Car Info: STi (cornering, accelerating and braking hard).
It's kinda hard trying to make an STi low-key. So you either try to dress it down (wingless, badgeless, etc) or just put so much sh*t on it that it looks completely outrageous.

V-Lip spoilers have to be the biggest "scam" in the Subaru community. You pay hundreds of dollars for a badge and thin piece of plastic that'll break the first time you hit a parking curb. So much for rally bred durability.

Don't get me wrong...I like the look of a v-lip, but wouldn't pay more than $100.00 for one. That's what it's actually worth.

Sorry to be hatin'
