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

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.

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

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

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!
