Default New owner 2002 JDM STI - advice

Hi there,

Just moved from a blob eye 2003 WRX wagon to a 2002 JDM STI.

I am considering removing the wing on the back to try and tone down the car a little, to be honest i much prefer the wagon for a bit more stealth but the drive of the STI blew me away. The STI is completely standard as far as I'm aware nothing don't to it what so ever (though the window tints look very dark?).

Am I mad meddling with the standard car?, i think I've pretty much figured ill need to replace the whole boot lid due to the large number of fixture holes the beast of a wing currently has?

Where is the best place on this forum to see if anyones interested in a potential swap or to see if there are any Rally blue WRX boot lids and mini spoilers going around here, open to to do a straight swap, oh and I am based in bristol.

Any help/direction/guidance would be be great!
Cheers

Great choice of car

If it's the high wing then it may be easier to replace bootlid & spoiler as there are lots of holes in it when the spoiler is removed.

Best place to go is the wanted section however you'll need to pay a fee - introduced to try & get rid of scammers.

TX.

Edit - I had the low spoiler on my Spec C albeit as standard:

Thanks for the responses guys,

TX - that is the spoiler im looking for

Daz - Interested but Ideally i need the bootlid as well due to the different fixings between the WRX and STI spoilers I believe - not sure if its easier to find a bootlid on its own or try and find the combo together! unless you fancy a swap!

cheers
