the reason why i have the sti foglight covers is that 1) i don't need my foglights, 2) i want genuine parts, and last but not least 3) when i got the car and parked it, someone called it a neon. a neon... i just lost it, bought the jdm headlights along with it. now i just got my cf side marker w/ the sti logo so that no non subies will mistake my car again for a f**kin neon.
I have a 2002 WRX with the following STi look: solid foglight covers, door sticker, trunk emblem, and carbon fiber side markers. Btw, I have an automatic too. The stickers and emblem made my car super duper faster on my butt dyno. Jk, but I have a VF30 with COBB Tuning stage 2.5. Heck, I could've bought me a real STi and a few mods on the amount of money I spent. It's all fun! It's MY car anyways. I THINK it looks good. Geez, now anyways... where should I put my new VTEC sticker up at?

I bought the STi fog lights but the first thing I did when I got them was take off the STI logo. I don't like having any logos on my car. If I could I would remove the STI logo from the cluster I bought.

oh no my car's not a wrc car so i guess i should go take everything off now *sniffle*

On the topic at hand:
I agree that most STi parts out there, aside from the back badge and the side decals, actually have function. Don't quote me on this but the STi grille *may* be *slightly* more aerodynamic than the stock piece. Solid fog covers also look like they can provide an aerodynamic boost, and ofcourse the mesh covers protect the fogs.
STi lips are supposed to have aerodynamic functions, although that kind of improvement i'm not sure, just remembered seeing the windtunnel pic in an impreza magazine a long time ago. As for the rest of their stuff.....well they're all functional.
Doing it for the look is all good in my book, what do i care if the guy's car is an STi or not, i'm not gonna be getting in to it thinking "oh i have STi stickers on my car, now i gotta prove something to other people" Nah, STi stuff looks good, its better to have STi decals than "ebruni corp" stickers all over after you've slapped on that oh-so-sexy combat kit.

Holy crap, why the hell does this dead horse topic get dragged back out of the graveyard once a year?! Get a life, grow some *****, and realize that STi is an in-house tuning company that happens to also tune a car in factory that is then released to the public. Think AMG, genius! 
Ah that was kinda harsh. Just the way I like it!
