STi wing issue
Whenever i am on the freeway, or at least goin 60mph, i notice in my rear view mirror that my wing flexes and wobbles. Say the wing is straight like | and it wobbles like () up and down.. great pictures huh? Well is this a normal effect as the car is in motion? and could this cause a problem with aero dynamics?

The majority of us happen to like those things about the STi and it happens to be that a lot of us keep those parts on the car and it looks good, not stupid.

well, maybe.
opinions are just that, opinions. mw1029h if you'r happy with your STi looking like an RS more power to you. there's nothing wrong with wanting to be low profile. it's just that for some, tossing those parts goes against what STi stands for.
unless you have a JDM Impreza WRX STi Type R Spec C 16', they don't come with the wing... or Brimbo's.
