Default Rear spliiter remove or not??

I have the chargespeed rear splitter on my car and I'm sure its adding loads of drag? I don't know wether to remove the whole thing or take out the centre part so it looks like spats?? If I were to remove it completely I would still need to add spats to the bumper to match the side skirts. Once I remove part of the splitter I intend oon trying to get a good diffuser fitted to the car.

Which would look better, remove the whole splitter or just remove the middle section from the exhaust on and get it matched at the other side?

The exhaust looks lost inside that splitter, if it was mine I'd loose the centre and leave it looking like spats, here's an idea

Remove all of it but that's just me, I'm not a fan of after market kits on imprezas but each to your their own.

If you want to keep it i would atleast loose the middle

Bottom right is the best option with that kit, although I'd look at this to fill the gap

I'll text you regarding the price, as for staying on the car @ 170 + mph not sure but I know it was OK at 165 mph ish (not on the road of course) it's a genuine subaru part and has a good few mounting points so i would expect it to be OK.

Are you going to use your car this year like?
