02/03 wing fit on 04/05 wrx?

hey guys, i was wondering if a year 02/03 wing would fit on a new WRX years 04 or 05. cuz i found a cool wing i like, and i dont know the dimensions of the surface area of the trunk and wnated to get input from the experts. also, would a bigger wing than the stock wrx wing need special parts in the trunk mechanism to help it open with the extra weight? thanks guys

I'm pretty sure it will fit. The only changes on the back of the WRX from 02/03 to 04 models were the taillights. The bumper also now has a little cutout to accomodate the new taillights.

But, I think the trunk stayed the same size and shape.

the trunks are the same;...I have traded trunks with a 02 and i have a 04 so this would lead me to believe that the wings will work on any trunk.

What can be done to remove the useless wing on an '02 WRX wagon? Is is possible to put in some anti-collision lights or something useful? How much weight is saved? Is there an aero penalty or benefit? I'll appreciate thoughts.

thebing - yes wings are compatible with both models of GD-bodied Imprezas. That is, an 02-03 wing will fit an 04-05 Impreza no problem and vice-versa.
nypatrick - I don't think the wing on the 02 wagon is useless, is it? If you want a larger wing, I think Dolphin and/or Liberal makes one.
