Cool How many people would by the Subaru STi rear spoiler for a 03 WRX?

As above!


this is the spoiler i mean!

so how many of you impreza 03 WRX owners would but this for your car costing £900 from your local Subaru dealer?

or would you rather buy a something like - http://www.scoobyworld.co.uk/trolley...wnewagewrxwing at half the cost!

answers please,

cheers,

Nice, I was thinking about an sti spoiler.... until I looked at the prices. The Scoobyworld one is almost identical at a pretty good price.
I would definitely consider it in a month or so (a little bit broke at the mo).
looks nice.

Anyone got this one, good quality?? any other pics??

Yeah, I would replace my spoiler but NOT for £900.

http://www.drmotorsport.co.uk

have a spoiler for newage cars which they say is THE only one to fit the exisiting 4 bolt holes of the WRX spoiler and they come with free painting for your car. They also have Genuine Subaru STI 7/8 spoilers for £700.

Question

I have never bought any bits and pieces for my WRX. Why the big price differences?? Are some of these not painted? Is there a big difference in quality? Do you pay for what you get?

Autoearth.com - yeah great spoiler price but $112 delivery and it takes 8 weeks via seamail - this is over the top. It should cost around $75 via USPS Global Priority - rip off.

Here is the one from Ravspec, not sure on the price or whether they would ship to the UK, was about $500 last time I looked, the others look fine but I wanted the straight up and down look of the genuine STI one but £900? and then you need a torsion bar to fit it? Nearly a grand for a spoiler - are they having a sense of humour failure?

I have the prodrive sti spoiler on my o2wrx and gues what, no leaks no piant problems and when people see it they say thats the best spoiler i ve seen for your shape lol

you pay your money

I have seen plenty of people who have had paint problems leaks on most other spoilers (not all, it seems to be allot to do with who paints them )

would i do it it again? to right worth the extra imho

I'm with Rich, when we got our MY03 STi and MY03 WRX the first thing we got done was get the STi spoiler and full colour coding on the WRX. Best money spent and no hassel with paint issues plus the fact you get a three year paint warranty

Begs the question, if you can get a genuine Subaru spoiler sent from USA and pay the duty on it and it is still half the price of the UK one? are IM spankin our butts - I think so!
