Think Id prefer it if it was a bit slimmer (ie, not as tall) but hey, why not!

I'm just wondering how they are fixed on.... are they a fully opening vent similar to the Spec C ?
Or is it just fixed on the outside for show ?
I don't remember seeing one in the flesh yet.

I knew this one would divide opinion.
If I do fit one, it will have to be carbon fibre anyway.

Just out of interest, don't they act as a bit of aerodynamic resistance?

Yes, yes, I know - Impreza and Aerodynamics don't really belong in the same sentence!! A bit like Impreza and "water splash"

Likewise I can feel the difference.

I ran round for a couple of weeks in my old WRX with no spoiler and the ride was completely different. Far less stable at speed.
