well been thinking of doing this for a while and have now taken the blunge and de-spoilered my boot.
after taking the spoiler off i was left with this so welded the holes up

then filler etc and the finished result


and some randoms

 

love it .. looks so cool with the flush back end

 

Nice car,but i cant see why everyone's following the yanks

 

you mean you don't do anything like the yanks j

 

As in?

 

i like them with or without spoilers but as not many pepole have done it around my way i thought i would and the sti spoiler weights a ton

 

Got any before pics? I hope you don't plan on driving it very very fast

 

whys that surely that little spoiler wont cause that much down force if any

 

done a good job!!!

 

Sorry, I drive a legacy and I'm not familiar with the various models of imprezas and which spoilers they have as standard - I wrongly assumed it would have been a bigger one.

 

well it was a mid level sti spolier cant think it would make much diffrence would it??i hope not

 

Well, i like the de-spoilerd look, but im biased! And im not copying the yanks, mine came from the factory like it 14 years ago!
Oh, give that engine a clean!

 

i have now just havnt taken a pic yet

 

very nice, i love this look, i was going to try this myself but didnt have the *****!lol

 

I don't know TBH - that's why I was curious to see pics of the spoiler before removal - I have no idea how big it was. I wouldn't worry about it TBH, unless you do a top speed run or similar

 

i like the spoilerless look, but after watching that video and a mate with an evo telling me it feels like someones lifting the back of the car when he despoilerd his. il leave mine there.

 

just a little update...

i decided to make my own bumper dont no why but i did lol and i think it looks good

filling the holes with foam



fibre glassing



filler



primer

 

Sorry mate, but you have ruined the front bumper, looks ton's better before

Also think it would look better with a sti6 rear spoiler

 

i like the de-spoilered look, but then i've just done mine the lid with the spoiler can stay in the garage till i change my mind...........

the bumper looks too blocked up, if you understand me??? needs some vents or something to break it up, fair play for giving it a go though

 

fair enough.... but the reason i done it is because i dont like big spoilers think they have had there day and i dont like vents all over the place or big fog lights thats why im getting a sport bonnet too plus fancied doing something different as most scoobs look the same which is'nt a bad thing

 

another ruined scooby.

 

hmm looks nice but not a fan of the rims .


the diy front bumper looks not so good imo

 

fair enough mate.

 

lads you gotta remember its his car, not yours!

bold move with the front bumper, looks ok but wouldnt do it myself. post pics when painted!

 

Oh dear

 

lol...i really like it but not to anyone elses tastes as it seems not to fussed tho might change your mind once the fmic is fitted and sprayed.

 

looks a bit like the old-school cossie illusion bumpers!!

maybe an cold air intake on the left and plate on t'other side???

 

yeh that sounds good...its no where near finished the numberplate is jus sitting there at the minite i only finished it last night will have to play around with it.

 

Love it de spoilered, go lower!

Get some carbon canard thingys for the side of the bumper, get it sprayed and I think it could look alright!

Fair play for being different!

 

cheers dude..its now on tein superstreets coilovers. them first pics where taken a long time ago i think it will look good once finished
