Why do they refer to the classic shape version of this wing as an RB5 wing . It's a WR wing that was fitted to some RB5's (i.e WR versions) but the standard RB5 had the normal wing.... Bloody yanks!

Never said it was

A quote from the Prodrive web site: "This new Prodrive wing’s design is influenced by the limited edition RB5 wing from Prodrive’s facilities in England."

But it does look like it IMHO

Ok, ok, call it journalistic licence Plus this Title wouldn't fit! "Prodrive release a new RB5 'style' rear wing for MY03 WRX! Although not everyone will agree it looks like the RB5 wing, Prodrive USA think it does."

Or

"Probably the best Prodrive RB5 rear wing for the MY03 WRX in the world ever!"

But it's *NOT* even an RB5 style wing.... it's the WR wing which the style came from. There is no such thing as an RB5 wing!!!

Ok point taken

BUT

Its not even WR style, well apart from it fixes at the 2 sides, could be scoobysport style

classic = curved out side plates

bugs= Square end plates as you can see by the pictures

Still, its a nice spolier

not as nice as the real thing though

that one on the blue car is horrible,
i like the new one in the first pic but it should be closer to the edges of the boot lid, it looks as if it could be a universal one just plonked in the centre of the lid,

i can only see a red X on your post tone loc,
i would agree the blue spoiler is nice from the back but i don't like it from the side, it hangs off the boot lid too much for my taste.
