View Full Version : GC owners, how many are spoilerless?
Impreza_RX 02-15-2005, 12:42 AM 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.
quentinberg007 02-15-2005, 02:59 AM 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. :)

imprezaboi 02-15-2005, 04:43 AM 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.
scoobyimpreza 02-15-2005, 07:20 AM i am wingless... but then again i have a coupe spoiler in the back seat, but my car is in the shop and i havent had a chance to put it on.
DJ 9iron 02-15-2005, 11:45 AM Yeah, if you go wingless, I think it would need something else to balance out the dramatic effect. Perhaps fog covers, lip spoiler etc. :)
RS22b 02-15-2005, 05:59 PM i couldnt agree with the hairy ape above more ;)

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
Brad Pittiful 02-15-2005, 09:31 PM i dont like the wingless look...so i kept mine on
munkis 02-15-2005, 10:27 PM stock coupe wing > than all wing and wingless trizzunks.

kunfuzion 02-16-2005, 04:27 AM mine was wingless for almost a year, but it had a cwest front bumper, karbonlite side/rear skirts. i later added the carbon sti wing.
west_minist 02-16-2005, 05:05 AM I myself is looking to get a V5/6 wing from Japan

Seeing StaRS 02-16-2005, 12:51 PM bah, the suby needs a spoiler. it looks naked without it :)
west_minist 02-16-2005, 01:06 PM The thing, not always, but a drag wing would look good.
IllNastyImpreza 02-16-2005, 02:55 PM whats the srx stand for?
west_minist 02-16-2005, 03:07 PM 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.

Rice & Gravy 02-16-2005, 05:52 PM Looks nice. Did you swap trunks or plug the holes? If so, what did you use?
99subi 02-16-2005, 07:59 PM MY99 L Impreza going to lower it soon with my H&Rs. IM never getting a spoiler! :devil:

Cujo31 02-16-2005, 09:31 PM that's the best looking L i've seen, esp. once you lower it

IllNastyImpreza 02-17-2005, 12:56 AM I took my spoiler off once...But I couldn't bare the sight of my car without out. It just looked to naked.

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.
AFBeefcake 02-17-2005, 01:58 PM my Brighton coup is wingless.
But that will change once i find a RS wing.
CrazyMike13 02-17-2005, 03:41 PM 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

americanyouth 02-17-2005, 07:54 PM Well said, Mike.
The car just doesn't balance nicely without a wing to back it up.
CrazyMike13 02-18-2005, 12:03 AM Here are the pics. This is the day I switched from V6, to Spoilerless, to Coupe'.

west_minist 02-18-2005, 03:46 AM Does it sound like the HKS Carbon TI?
How does it sound in general?
imprezaboi 02-18-2005, 03:56 AM Crazymike, I'm digging the license plate. Nice!

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.

Siper2 02-18-2005, 11:46 AM 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.
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:
http://www.rs25.com/uploads/albums/userpics/12642/normal_fabbb2d7.jpg
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.
=S2=
You finally got JDM's!!!
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...

JewPac42 02-18-2005, 04:42 PM I guess I missed the thread. You need gold wheels, white/gold is the ****!
Too bad my new gunmetal rims will be here in a day or two! :)
JewPac42 02-18-2005, 09:55 PM Too bad my new gunmetal rims will be here in a day or two! :)
What did you get? And, if you are serious about my rims, make me an offer, I need a new look.
VTsuby 02-18-2005, 10:13 PM Who owns that sexy yellow impreza that thing is beautiful. Mine is wingless unfortunetly. Mud flames, scratches, and haka's with fifteens oh yeah. Who in charlotte can paint?
scoobyimpreza 02-24-2005, 04:27 AM if you scrolled up.. i said that it was MY old car..
my red one looks pretty much the same as that now.. but red and has a coupe spoiler (not installed)
C-daleRidr 02-24-2005, 03:48 PM 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.
I am Frakk 02-25-2005, 01:17 AM I'm going wingless!!!
quentinberg007 02-26-2005, 12:38 PM http://homepage.mac.com/pigeonfarmboy/Images/Subaru/cams98RSwingless.jpg
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.

Damn the RK's look awesome on your car.
