looks OK from all angles except straight on...its all down to the length I think. To be fair there really wasn't anything wrong with it before

looks like a Lexus! not a fan of the spoilerless look on newages but that looks ok if you really want something on there i don't think a normal WRX one would look too bad, or maybe an S204 jobbie?

edit, nope forget the WRX idea, just seen one on a white newage on the really low impreza thread. S204 then. or a modded R34 skyline one, now that would look cool

No big spoilers allowed I'm afraid, I just don't do them...unless it happens to be a real WRC one in carbon, which ain't going to happen...

I wanted something which would break the back of the car up a bit and try and reduc rear end lift at speed, as it can get a bit wobbly when doing 70mph

come on it'll be more a medium size now the WRC one, that's a big ******!

wouldn't a sacrifice with a spoiler be better than ending up in a hedge?

reckon you'll be stuck to a 50mph safety limit

Risking some abuse here, but I think it looks like the automotive equivalent of a comb-over.

If you're hair line is receding, you shave the rest of it off and accept it. If you have a full head of hair then you look after it, keep it clean and tidy. It's one or the other but not somewhere in between.

Well.... it made sense in my head.

I think it looks without.

I ultimately wanted a carbon version, but not sure what style/shape to go for, hence why I bought a cheapo FRP one to try out...

Need more research on this one me thinks....

Cheers for al the help/comments/photoshops guys...
