There are a few pics of debadged / dewinged STi's on I-club and they look AWESOME....The wing isn't very functional...in C&D's test it deformed a lot, and besides any wing/spoiler doesn't really start to work (if functional in the first place) until around 75 MPH...as the STi spoiler is flat and not tilted forward it's doubtful it makes much downforce...

There is another one somewhere, can't seem to find it right now...

 

well i didn't read all the posts because i was too lazy, but i did read the first few.

there is nothing wrong with putting sti parts on your car. sti is a company that sells parts. similar to trd, mugen, nismo, amg, etc.

the only thing i disagree with is the badge on the trunk. thats when you start trying to imitate having a "sti" and that should not be done.

if you think putting sti parts on your car is rice because it says sti, then you are a fool.

 

I know that I am jumping into a cage full of screaming ape's that think I am a frikin banana. But here it goes. I have a 03 white WRX. It looks very similar to the STi Type RA. And I like that look. The only things done to the out side are. From front to back. I blacked out my front headlights, STi carbon side markers - i hate the orange blinkers, Zero Sports Carbon stock wing risers - to make it functional (yes i like to go over 100 mph and turn), a Jun bumper exhaust shield, and yes an STi badge on the back! My car also has a injen intake, 9.5lbs flywheel, gruppe-s up pipe, HKS down, APEXI N1 cat. My car is quite quick. I like the way that the $10 STi badge matches the STi carbon blinker covers that match my carbon wing risers. Soon I will have an STi hood scoop to go with the STi intercooler. The car looks good with that little pink badge on it and I have power under the hood to keep that pink badge a respectful name. Besides chicks love pink, and I'm always up for some tail.

i think the STi parts make the car look bad ***. after my accident, i had the body shop put on the STi head lights (EDM), grill, and hood scoop. the front of the car looks so much bettter than before. kida makes the car look a little more stretched out and not as boxy. as for the STi badges on the trunk lids, i dont know about that. carbon side blinkers are cool, but the badges are a little too much. but may be im not one to say much about that because i took all the badging off my car.

 

mister2cool, is your sti silver, if it is i will trade you my factory wing, hey i took my 2.5 rs off the front, and painted it red on the edges, and put it in the grill does that count, it is a 2.5 liter? hey it is your car if it feels wierd putting something on it, it probabley is, cause someone out there no matter what itis gonna bust your ***** about it.

 

I have an STI hoodscoop... because I wanted more air to the tmic... until I actually get a front mount.. I think it looks nicer as well. I plan on getting STI head lights and a front grill. Because the lights will make me see better at night especially with HIDS, and the front grill looks nicer as one piece! I DO plan on keeping the STI emblem on the front, to pay tribute to the STI because I think it owns... As for that, anything else in my opinion is tacky.. I hate the STI's wing... way too big in my opinion, and I don't like the body kit that they use... Love the power plant under the hood though...hehehe

But it's the people that own the cars that they think what mods make them nice... Want to make your car look tacky, that's fine, you paid for it and it's YOURS.. not mine. I have no right to tell you what to do to your car or john doe's car... to each his own :-)


( Ijust don't want to see any damn rex's with tacky banners and stickers everywhere on their car like I see sooooooooooo many riced out cars... yuck yuck yuck!)

Are STI mesh foglight covers, morette headlights, and an STI radiator cap Ricey ?

 

No, not ricey. Anything STi is not ricey, they dont make euro tail lights. Dont compare STi to Honda R because Honda's are designed to get good gas mileage and that is it! Then some kids get their civics for $1,500 and want to make their P.O.S. "fast". Honda definition of fast is an air filter coffee can, and body kit, then they attempt to race us and get killed because they are slow. Anything Honda is ricey, even the very nice S2000 is slow compared to us. I do not know one pice of STi equiptment besides the badge that dosnt perform some function. Besides has anyone heard of a slow WRX? I agree that STi is more like AMG it is a performance tuner for a performance car. Honda R is a fake performance tuner for a car that tries to make over 100whp. While STi adds 100whp to the car.

The Facts, Deal with it.

My friend has a fast as hell civic... He actually has the b18c Integra Type R engine... He spent $5000 for just the engine swap. I'll admit it's a honda, but so far I have yet to see him not smoke anything out there... Funny as hell too, he has a complete sleeper look out there... It is kinda cool that he can redline to 9k rpm... that is pretty neat.
Overall it's one of a couple civics that aren't riced out and can actually perform out there :-)

Not to act like too much of an ***, but my WRX is my slow car. I have a 1987 Buick Grand National (turbo 3.8 V6) with close to 500whp. Its alcohol injected at 21 psi of boost. I find civics to be pices of ****. If anyone put 5 grand into their motor (wrx 11-12 second car)(gn 9-10 second car)(civic 13-14 second car). Get my point. And that little ***** had nitrous, a totally different story. Try SMC alcohol injection for your cars its like a mini shot of NOS, but it wont hurt your motor, it actually cleans it, and it is alot cheaper. Member of the fuc*in hate civic club.
