Default What Spoiler is this???

It came on a STI 7 I bought last night and I'm debating on whether to keep it? It seems to be carbon fibre throughout which is great but I'm not sure I like the bottom section being open like that and would prefer a Standard STI 7 Spoiler.
If I was to sell it what is it's value and how much would I expect to pay for a Genuine STI 7 Spoiler?

Looks like a copy of the Prodrive WR Sport spoiler for a classic

Here's mine

Looks similar to an sti 5 or 6 spoiler, but they have the bottom part and a light too usually

So not entirely sure

In regards to the second part of your question a genuine OEM STi 7 spoiler from a dealer is around £895 !!

Looks like he might have replaced the boot lid as well, unless the car is a bugeye non-prodrive style. I'm sure the original STi 7 prodrive style spoiler was held by more bolts running across the bootlid.

Non-prodrive bugeye STi's had the normal "ironing board" spoiler AFAIK

Do you have the additional torsion bars fitted to help keep up the bootlid with the additional weight of the OEM Prodrive STi spoiler ??

There are now quite a number of good copies around

Cheers

I like the fact it's carbon fibre, just wish it had more at the bottom.

Most people are telling me they are not a fan of it! I'll give it a few weeks and then decide I think. Unless anyone really likes it and fancies a swop?

Its a scoobysport carbon spoiler as mentioned earlier.

I got one on my wrx in 2001.

Its ONLY 2,9kg total weight. The original STI comes at approx 15kg. No wobbly vibrations on the carbon wing, like the original 2002 STI does on uneven surfaces.

Less drag on the carbon one as the side of the spoiler follows the c-pillar better than STI.

I have to agree Impreza's look crap without a rear spoiler.
