2006 STI wings removal
on the 2006 STI's (or even previous models) is there any way to remove the big huge wing in the back, and replace it with some replica s204 wing or WRX wing?
in addition, is there a way to just remove that other rear roof vane spoiler? i'm guessing it will leave holes..
whether or not they are "functional" body parts, i just cannot stand the look of them and rather have it removed ... IMO, too "ricey" for me...

^ true on the trunk, just swap with someone of the same color and whatever spoiler you want. As for the mid wing removal, you'd probably have to take it to a body shop to cover the holes.
As for the ricey part...if you don't want them on there...don't buy the car. With the extra amount you pay upgrading from a wrx to an sti, you can make 2 times as much power.

If you are going to completely replace everything and do everything yourself, it's a different story, but to think you can do a WRX to STI conversion for cheaper than Subaru is silly.
So true. Too many of my friends make the same mistake. I'm so tired of the "You should have gotten a WRX and..."
