Newages look great without spoiler, also 4D classics. But 2D classics like my Type R look like crap without It's a shame because I'm no fan of big spoilers.

I really wanna like de-spoliered, but nah, just looks **** imo. Doesn't suit them at all, but that one posted just above does look pretty good...

i absolutely detest spoilerless scoobs and ventless ones too if im honest if your going to take away the cars trademarks why not just buy the base model 1.6 impreza and benefit from the better fuel economy whilst your at it lol. just my opinion of course but people who do that have bought the wrong car!

I think it depends on the year, Newages, spoilerless looks horrible, it looks unbalanced and strange to the eye imho.
The classisc's though look ok with it, seems to work with the lines of the car...

Prefer spoilers myself, as long as they are Subaru spoilers. However someone at Subaru decided it was no longer needed as the new 4 door saloon doesn't have one and they've dropped the Impreza name too on the STi model. Whatever next???

Looks miles better IMHO especially on classics.

New-ages Imprezas don't look quite as cool de-spoilered.

I de-spoilered my Skyline also. I like the slammed, stealth look.

Its like comparing a 205 T-16 with or without all the cosmetic stuff

personally i like them both with out, i took mine of my classic and loved the look, when i came to sell it the person who was buying it wanted it back on so i happily fitted it back on, i stood back and look at the car and thought it looked horrible, it reminded me of the cheapy tacky show kits you can get for the cavalier or the mark 3 escort or fiesta !!!

Got to be spoilers. Just added a waist spoiler to my wagon. Lurvely.

Edit: and the question got to me sooo much that I just did my first post.

Personally for me cars look better with the spoilers on , on the early clasics with there tiny boot spoilers just did not appeal to me. The very 1st mod i did on both my uk wagons was change the uk spoilers to the sti items,not a great deal of difference in weight ,but look 100% better looking imho.They also aid the aerodynamics of the car. All model scoobs look good with spoilers on imho and i dont see the appeal or reasoning for wanting to remove them.
