Spoiler choices for an STI RA
 
Right, I'm stuck on what spoiler I should fit to my RA. I know they didn't come with one out of the factory but the spoilerless look is not for me. It currently has some horrible carbon fibre/GRP thing which will be going in the bin. Options I have lying around are a genuine Prodrive RB5 spoiler, a UK Turbo 2000 mid level spoiler and the standard low level WRX spoiler. The car is v2 so as much as I love the RB5 spoiler I don't feel it will look right. The Uk Turbo spoiler again is to late a model but I have seen variations fitted to RA's and they look good. Was there an option for a mid level spoiler for the RA? I have seen ones that appear more sweeping and possibly taller than the UK Turbo one and I have also seen slightly lower level versions. The WRX spoiler is completely out of the running, can anyone shed some light on the mid level variations please?

I like the look of a mid level spoiler on an RA. I had a V1(I think!) on my Type R for a while and that looked good.

I still have it in my garage whilst I've fitted a low spoiler for a stealth look! I maybe interested in your RB5 spoiler if you'd consider selling/swapping etc.

I did see your boot it looks good, I'm running with the one I have fitted they went out of style for a while but I think they look great.

Cheers guys, I'm going to go with the mid level I think. Been doing some digging on the type ra forum and aparently STI RA's from 95-98 had a mid level as standard so its all good.

gpssti4, that spoiler looks huge! perhaps its the angle it's taken at! The RB5 spoiler is now for sale for £150+postage if your interested or take a punt as it will be going on ebay in the next day or two.

I've PM'd you regarding your RB5 spoiler, I'll take it subject to it being in good undamaged condition. I don't mind if it needs a repaint as on mine it'll be black anyway.

Another view of my V1 spoiler. It doesn't look quite so big from this angle! (Or so the wife says lol)

And maybe a slightly better one.
