Spoiler Change On My Spec C
 
I'm putting my MY04 Spec C back to how it should be by removing the STi front bumper plus the S204 carbon fibre rear Spoiler, and fitting a WRX front bumper and rear spoiler as correct for the MY.

I've got the WRX bumper ready to go and tonight I picked up an NB-R rear spoiler from a friend to just use the WRX spoiler but now I'm thinking about fitting the spoiler complete with the lower riser section. I'm not 100% on fitting it complete, but this is a very rare option only standard on the NB-R and the look is growing on me.

What do you think of the below, it's not to everyone's taste but we all have different tastes.

I prefer the spoiler without the risers myself Ty.

mervil 25 July 2012 11:22 PM

Without the spoiler altogether ;)

I'm putting my MY04 Spec C back to how it should be, low level spoiler end of.:thumb:,,,, But if you want a better look, no spoiler or a STI A line lip.

I think the standard spoiler without risers would look better.

B4D HK 26 July 2012 12:56 AM

Without risers!

Suberman 26 July 2012 02:17 AM

The riser would un-spec c your spec c. :D Without it IMO.

I don't mind the riser on a NB-R, but not for a Spec C, and since you're putting it back to how it should be, that would mean no uncessary add ons.

Silver Scooby Sport 26 July 2012 06:04 AM

The bare boot would also work well I feel Ty as said above.

I prefer it without the risers as well or even better with a slimline spoiler ala A-line.

Cannon Fodder 26 July 2012 09:26 AM

I was always 75/25 in favour of not using the riser section, a small part of me likes it but the overwhelming part of me says just use the low spoiler and that is what I am going to do.

I do like the spoilerless look but I like the spoiler more, when I first had the car it had no spoiler and I'm sorry but I had to get one fitted - now anyone want to buy my Kakumei S204 CF spoiler? :D

It's all about personal choice, I have been down the modification route myself but I always find myself looking at the standard look and wondering why I decided to deviate from it. :)

Your like Hampton Court Maze :brickwall, with all these twists and turns.

Get a grip Ty and stop spending all the hard earned :D.

Next time you see me give me a good slap if I mention anything to do with exterior modifications, you have my permission. :D

I swear this is the last time, honest... :Suspiciou

Without risers IMO, I have been thinking about changing mine for some time now, Was thinking about the S202 which I have been offered, What is your S204 like CF and do you have a pic and a price in mind?

Gaz.

Looks extremely horrible

JonMc 26 July 2012 04:34 PM

I really like that spoiler and was going to go down that route had I not found a decent S202 replica for sensible money:thumb:

apac 26 July 2012 08:56 PM

Looks good Ty. One day I may go back to the low level spoiler. Though Ido like the dragster spoiler less look too!

Don't be offended..... but I would tend to agree. :o

Cannon Fodder 26 July 2012 09:30 PM

Unfortunately or not when the spoiler was removed from the riser it was found that a previous owner (not the guy I bought it off) had done a botched repair thus making both sections only good for the bin.

I'm now considering going for a lip spoiler and getting the holes filled in, I still have the option of fitting another WRX spoiler, but where can I source a good quality lip other than an A Line spoiler?

As I don't want to pay in excess of £320 plus taxes and shipping for what is in effect a moulding. :)

I'm not offended in the slightest as we all have differing tastes, plus it was always going to be a small chance of using the riser section.

I would love an S202 spoiler again, I'm not sure about how much I'd want for the S204 spoiler but it's not an original item. It is a very good Kakumei replica and I think it looks good in carbon fibre but of course it could be repainted.

I'm not too unhappy that it's unusable if I'm 100% honest, but it's a shame nonetheless as it's probably the rarest factory spoiler as I think that only 100 cars had these spoilers given the limited run of the NB-R auto Bugeye models.

Cannon Fodder 26 July 2012 11:48 PM

For posterity here is a link to the A Line / Sti Limited lip spoiler, it's just a shame it's so bloody expensive. :wall:
