I gotta be honest... not my favorite STi.

Pics aren't too great either.

no wings and grills! would be great! go foh wingless! n way engine bay looks good!

I actually dig the wing. Spray the grille mesh black and get black/gunmetal wheels. Then you'll be set.

exactly my thoughts. it will look so much better with the mesh painted black. and I'd get rid of the "cobb tuning" in the trunk. it is too large and the font is kind of funny. reminds me of a steak house sign.

otherwise amazing engine bay and I'm sure the car itself is a beast.

so I came up with this. it is an approximation and done fast just to give you an idea.

well that's my third wing so far. First was the stock sti wing then i swapped trunks and wings with a wrx and now i got this wing which was a gift for Christmas. i'm still not happy with the wing so right now it's for sale on ebay. The cobb tuning decal covers some scratches that i made while trying to debadge my trunk.

Now by the end of summer i can get a cf trunk lid and a type RA R replica cf wing by seibon. i don't know if i should get the trunk lid alone and go wingless or both

mesh need to be black

Wheels need to be black, tint needs to be blacker =]

I agree. the wing, vortex generator and Cobb Tuning sticker kills it. and to continue being quite honest, there is absolutely no reason to post these:

Wing FTL!

sti4life04 · 06-04-2008, 08:51 AM

yea i would have gone wingless or just stock sti bro sorry and the cobb has to go as well

The car is very clean. You should get some credit for that.

I'm curious about the installation of the rear wing and the anti-submarine belt on the harnesses though.

Re: the rear wing, the angle seems especially steep. Doesn't seem like it would function properly at that angle.

Re: the anti-submarine belt, they are not typically installed around the front of the seat. Proper installation calls for them to be installed almost vertically and generally through a cut-out in the seat. With the current installation it is unlikely the harnesses would function as intended in an accident. This could lead to severe injury to you and your passenger.
