Default Time for a spoiler change

Thinking of swapping my STI spoiler and going back to the more subtle WRX one for a while; had the high level one for 3 years now, maybe time for a change...

Thoughts? (oh and I'm not considering going spoilerless - not my cuppa tea)
P.S. The car's on coilovers now so it's not sat as high as the pics above show - those are just most of my before and after ones for comparison.

WRX Style:


STI Style:

I'm tempted to do similar with my sti, but not a huge fan of the wrx one and cannot find anything else I like...

Despite the fact that I have switched to a Spec D to be more discreet, I have to say I vastly prefer the STi spolier

I would stick with the STI spoiler mate unless you can find something else you like I wouldn't go back to a WRX one

This is a very subjective poll and personally I've been through the phase of considering a larger spoiler and have on a few occasions had the funds and almost hung myself, but I still cannot justify attaching a large spoiler to my car as I simply am unable find a gain to be had beyond how it might appear to onlookers.

+1, but I did find myself feeling a bit small parked up with all the STI's on the cruise to Southend last weekend.

Like the window spoiler mate, but that boot one is a bit OTT for me! Enjoy it though, what are the shipping costs like?

4 working days from the states, and the box was there when I got home last night

The only difference I can see beween a genuine S202 spoiler and this are the end plates are not removable, although the more I research it the less I am convinced that this is the case on the originals. It is well finished and lightweight - pics this weekend albeit on a car awaiting a coating of paint
