I like the look of the STi wing, and I even had one on my bugeye for a while. unfortunately I like change, so I swapped it out for a WRX wing just because I wanted something different.

I remember a while back there was a guy ripping on STi wings on WRX because "it didn't come like that so you can't do that" and people said "what about the replica S202 wing?" and his response was "well that wasn't available on USDM cars, so thats ok" and then I said "well neither was an STi wing on pre-2004 imprezas and his response was something along the lines of "oh, well, uh......"

its your car, it depends on what you like, end of story.

I think it looks fine. Better than the carbon on aluminum apr wannabe wings you see on front wheel drive everythings.. That never did make sense to me.. Now if you got the chargespeed doom wing, that might be a bit much.

just like everyone says bro, its YOUR car, do what you like. As for my personal preference, I like the lowkey look (winged or wingless). You can spot the STi wing from a mile away. But screw what I say..you have a clean wrx.

That wing "writes checks" that the rest of the car can't cash.
Sorry.

Who cares? everyone is gonna have a different opinion on whether or not they like it personally. Not my cup of tea, but it's not MY car. If you like it then who cares what someone else thinks. Hell, throw STI stickers on your car if you want it, it isn't anyone else's decision on if it's lame or not. If you like it and want it, more power to you, it's just a wing. My reason for not liking it is I can't see the drivers behind me and I get too much attention from the cops. Other than that, it's pretty slick looking.

I dont have a problem looking behind, you gotta look in the "window" between the spoiler and the trunk of the car, and most cops here know that STIs come with wings like this, well most cops not the really stupid and ignorant ones
