GC owners, how many are spoilerless?
Got Pics?
I took my wing off today to see what it would look like. It wasn't that bad and it wasn't that good. I liked it off, but I don't have anything to keep the holes plugged up, so I put the wing back on.

I was wingless for about 20 minutes between taking off my stock sedan spoiler and putting on the coupe spoiler. I think with rear spats, it would look quite nice. My L is wingless. :)

Personally I think the gc looks naked wingless its just the way the body is accentuated. The flow of the body lines almost dictate a wing of sorts imho.

Yeah, if you go wingless, I think it would need something else to balance out the dramatic effect. Perhaps fog covers, lip spoiler etc. :)

good call... a like your choice of words- my gc is wingless and sometimes I would like to see what it would look like with a wing. I agree though it kind of does look a little naked

Really do not know like what the wrx stands for.

The SRX is a 2002 WRX without the turbo.

It has a 2.0L Type R engine with AVCS on the intake, direct ignition, variable intake and a damn ecu that is too intelligent.

Looks nice. Did you swap trunks or plug the holes? If so, what did you use?

White electrical tape, only like that for maybe a week. It worked fine in rain and snow though and you couldn't tell until you got up close.

my Brighton coup is wingless.
But that will change once i find a RS wing.

I have some pics of my Coupe wingless. I'll get them later. The problem with wingless on RS's, is that it may look 'interesting', but it just doesn't balance out with the aggressive front anymore. The big fogs and hoodscoop take up too much 'weight'. It looks, well, 'naked'.:p

Well said, Mike.

The car just doesn't balance nicely without a wing to back it up.

Here are the pics. This is the day I switched from V6, to Spoilerless, to Coupe'.

I haven't heard the HKS Carbon Ti on an RS, so I'm not really sure. I also have an Intake, Headers, and track pipe, so it will sound different anyways. I'd imagine they'd be similar though.

Ditto. :) My car was wingless while I transferred spoilers, as well.

I actually have the rear spats and STi aero guards, but haven't installed them yet.

This car, posted above, is awesome:

That's pretty close to how I want my car to look, except that I won't be ditching my coupe spoiler. It's as big as I'd like to get.

Haha, where have you been? I've had them for over a year! I've got a Ver. 6 lip and JDM spats too. :) If I keep it she'll be looking pretty 'round summer time.

Here's a profile shot...

Last time I saw my car, before it's trip to the body shop but after I got rear ended, it was wingless. I actually took a step back and looked at it, wondering if I wanted to have a winged trunk put on her.

That didn't last long. When I get her back next week, she'll have a wing again.

That looks really good. For some reason, coupes with the 5 spoke goldies can pull off the wingless look. I've seen a wingless silver coupe with goldies that looked awesome as well.
