I have a real rooof scoop/vent (Litchfield Type 20 Spec C) and without fail people say "What the hell is that?"

Also has an 80kph sign, so as far as I can gather you can't use it above that - front opening.

Mudflaps serve a purpose where as VTA's and graphics don't.

Big mudflap serve a purpose if your driving a rally car off road, but make you look a tool if your using it for road use

I didn't say anything about 'big' mudflaps though did I?

I said mudflaps serve a purpose - which they do. They reduce stone chips on your bodywork regardless of the roads you're driving on.

Agreed not got a problem with mudflaps, just massive rally mud flaps, which is even worse on a standard impreza

Best mods are obviously:
Decat and remap

Worst mods:
Welded diff to create rear wheel drive.
Any mod carried out by someone using the word "hellaflush" with a straight face

Oh and i've got mud flaps because stonechips are a real problem living down ropey country lanes like i do.

They are legitimate on turbo cars for flow characteristic IMHO.

Yep just like that....fouling the bodywork makes it just that little bit extra shyte

Now if the rest of the system is 2.5" as well (with the OE cats) then it would be the cherry on the cake
