Default De-spoilering classic wagon?

My 99 Sti Wagon has two spoilers on the back.

I was thinking about taking them off for a more smoothed, stealth look.

Anyone done this or have any comments/suggestions?

Might I need some bungs for any holes left exposed or anything?

Will it look good of ****house?

You might get away with the waist spoiler, but not the top one. Took mine off to do some paintwork and tbh it looked terrible. Window goes all the way up to the roof - looked like an AMC Pacer...

Hey Bingo, that's the look I was after?

Love the offset on those sweet rims also.

I think it looks better. I like the 'smoothed', 'stealth' look.

I have a Type-sa wagon that comes de-spoilered as standard, looks soo much better. But guess what. my roof is a bit sun damaged think i might be following you on the black roof!!

I find the waist spoiler handy to stick the petrol cap on, so may keep it. lol
