Smile Roof fins

Has anyone fitted the individual roof fins that fit to the rear of the roof?

If so has anyone got any pics & are you still happy with them?

Has anyone fitted them & had any regrets?

Where is the best place to source them?

Really roof fins are not for Subaru,they're suited more for EVO

You reckon ? Not the fact that baked bean tins are made of thicker material
And the rest is made from old lenor bottles and can't make 300hp without the help of some yoof and his eBay account
Then they will only make proper power for a limited time before its back in the garage again for summat or other

They are brilliant cars for a bit of fun and to mess with
But you can't take Any of em serious bolt ons or not

As you well know you've got to go German if you want a proper car

the sti 2.0 is very reliable if modded correctly and 300bhp with the ppp from the dealer.
the build quality is not great but newages dont drop apart like french cars.
they used to be a desired performance car but now the shows make me sad,every other impreza is a wrx with a sticker kit.
there are a few decent cars out there but getting fewer every year.
i have a german car but it doesnt have the same thrill as my impreza fast but not as fun.

Yeah they are without a doubt a very fun car I agree
But I'm sure it will go full circle and good examples will become desirable ( same as escorts )
So the more that get chaved and devalued the better

Btw I've got carbon roof fins lol ( on when I got it )
And I'm not taking em off because ive no idea what's underneath
Plus they go with my carbon effect track suit and dappy hat

It was stuck to the roof. I bought the car with it already fitted, hawk eye top spoiler is much nicer than fins!

I know what you mean but it's nowt new
In the 70s it was jacked up back end , wolf race slots
It's like fashion , you look back and think Jesus fancy doin that to a decent car
Go to a ford show now and you won't see any like that ( all returned to standard and mint /ish )

Same will probably happen with imprezas

If its something you like mate dont let anyone else put you off. I think they look nice but only if you do them a certain way and mod the car a certain way
