after owning my car for the last 2 months fancy making some changes and one of them is to go spoilerless, but im finding it hard to make a decision, so im asking for some help, my idea is to sell the carbon boot and carbon buddy club spoiler and buy another carbon boot, wat do u guys think.

 

imo the sti spoiler sets it off, have seen some sweet despoilerd but not my cup of tea

 

was told as well ( maybe total bollocks) but the sti spoiler is 1 of the few that actually work once going fast, the vane work under 30mpg, then the spoiler takes over

 

Worth having a browse around the gallery maybe. There've been a few over the years. IMO the classic can look a bit girly or rounded in the rear without a spoiler. A bit like a mini-Omega. I've seen minor bootlip spoilers done and the usual bootlid and lower/earlier bootlid spoilers. Some of the best despoilered or "clean" looks I've come across are over the pond on NASIOC. They fit FMIC, a non-turbo bonnet and despoiler for a clean/sleeper look.

im very familiar with de spoilering subarus iv done it on most iv owned im just not 100 percent sure on this 1 personally with this spoiler looks a bit ott for the road and im not a massive fan of the oem sti spoiler, im not sure which way to jump

 

I was about to jump on here and say 'noooo' leave the spoiler, but looking at your pics it might just work. I think the car will look good either way.

Why dont you unbolt the spoiler and post some more pics up?

 

good plan ill do that this morning and post some pics up

 

To add my two pence worth i would def go with out spoiler, my two classics didnt have spoilers and my new age is going without as well. Got some pics somewhere if your interested.

 

yeah post em up bud be good to have a look cheers, well iv too the spoiler off this morning and it definatly looks cleaner i think the spoiler is just too much

 

gotta be low to pull of the spoilerless look

bit of reverse rake going down but you get the idea

 

i really really like that thats my cup of tea, loving the big brakes too.
this is my old type r

 

I like spoilerless tbh. Iff you race in time attack you need downforce otherwise your just creating drag. Shame about the holes it leaves in the boot though, can,t you just plug em with rubber plugs? Or are you a perfectionist?lol

 

yeah i know exactly what your saying the idea when i bought the car was to have that time attack look but as i walk out to the car every day im thinking is this a bit ott just want to tone it down a little. and also put my own stamp on it as its someone elses project. yeah id have to get a new carbon boot and sell both the spoiler and boot as an item im a bit if a perfectionist when it comes to things like that need to get the front bumper sprayed asap too
does anyone know where i can get a carbon boot at a decent price i see japspeed used to do them but cant get hold of them

 

If you do go spoilerless how much for ya spoiler....

 

i prob will be going spoilerless mate but id have to sell both together as there is holes in the boot to fix spoiler the boot is a seibon 670 new and the spoiler is carbon buddy club 350 new id sell both for £500

 

Probably out my price range as the boot needs to be with it. Plus my missus would kick me in the ***** if she knew id spent 500 on a spoiler and boot lid . Ive got a sti6 spoiler in primer that i could sell tho.

 

have a think about it bud there in very good condition and the mrs dont have to know if i can find another carbon boot at a decent price i may be able to lower the price a little
