A front end hood deflector for the WRX, is this real?
I found this site offering a front-end plastic deflector for the hood of a WRX. I was wondering if this is just a misprint?

no, its real...i saw it in person on someone else's WRX....its designed differently so it doesnt deflect air for the hood scoop....but for me personally things like that arent for me....neither are bumper moldings....hope this helps...

As announced in Drive Magazine, the difference between this offering and the earlier one is that the trailing lip on the deflector is removed so that airflow into the WRX hood scoop is not disrupted. It still protects the front of the hood from bugs and rock chips but won't help much with bugs hitting the rest of the hood.

Just out of curiosity, does anyone have a picture of the WRX version?
I think the headlight parts of the deflector look fugly on a bugeye so I'd want to chop those off and between that and whatever they cut out of the center to keep air flowing, wouldn't be much coverage left really... oh well.
Bonkers. :banana:
