Took the STi to Bandimere (1/4 mile 5800ft elevation)

Swapped with a platinum silver 02 2.5RS. Changed over trunk, lock, torsion bars and third brake light. Pretty straight forward, took about 45 minutes. Haven't installed the third brake light yet. What do ya think?

It's different....that's for sure. Very clean looking.

I dunno...I like it....but I just can't feel an STi without the rally look.

 

[Sha_zapple]

Yeah, it looks naked to me! You need something in the back to offset the huge scoop in the front!

 

[murley]

I like it, myself. I love the dip in the rear deck lid.

 

[azninside]

not bad....it still needs a spoiler tho...maybe a flush mount spoiler or somethin ::shrug::

 

[Hispanics]

I think it looks good. Kind of a sleeper look to it. You won't see me do it though!

 

[wrxmania]

it looks like a sleeper for those who won't know difference.

looks nice.

 

[Hispanics]

Yo Azninside, You gotta do something about that prelude. I mean I am Honda guy myself. I have an Integra. Soon to be an STI! Actually I susbscribed to Honda tuning and now I am going to have to switch to Sport compact car! Get that pic otta here man!

Swapped with a platinum silver 02 2.5RS...

my condolences. looks exactly like a "regular" my04 wrx, which i think looks quite good. all you need to do now is put in some fogs and no few will suspect the wolf in the sheep's clothing.

To each his own I guess, but you need something on the back. With just the big scoop it looks unbalanced. If you get rid of the wing then the scoop has to go too.

Yeah, except for the hood scoop, BBS 17's, Brembo brakes, front lip, side skirts, HID's, huge exhaust tip, fog light covers and pink Sti stickers/badges at every angle :lol: .

 

[4MLA1FN]

okay okay. i take it back.

 

[RDiamond]

I like it. It's nice to see a non-ricey mod like that. You're definitely going to be able to sneak up on & smoke some unsuspecting Vettes (non-Z06, of course).

I don't think it's unbalanced, it looks more classy imho. Of course, it's hard to use that word about our car. :lol: I kinda like the S202 spoiler, too.

 

[rokuSTi]

So. Calif at MSRP ?

i wonder if removing the rear wing will affect handling and aerodynamics at freeway speeds.

hopefully we'll find out.

keep us posted.

 

[Agent Chobos]

I like it! Very clean & elegant. And the profile almost has an Audi quality to it.

Nicely done.

 

[wi77iam]

I like it too. From the side, it looks to me almost like a BMW 8-series, with those fender bulges.

 

[mistkerl]

That looks so sweet! All you need now is to FM your intercooler and put on the RS hood,

Seriously though, I really like the wingless look. It totally brings out different lines in the car that are otherwise obscured by the wing.

Got up to about 145mph the other day, car felt as stable as ever :lol: .

But did you try taking any turns?

 

[Goose]

I like it!!!! I like it alot....wow... this has got my little brain turning... let me know what it's like a t top speeds... I love the Rally look of the wing, but where I live it's like painting a bullseye on your car. I was planning on de-badging to avoid the inevitable, but I think I might go one step further. Very clean job. Post picks with the third light, that could look really good/ bad. (that will prob determine it for me)

Very Nice!!!!
