i think it depends what look you are after personally . sti style suits the scooby perfectly with many styles . big canards and stripped interior then a drift style carbon spoiler looks cool slammed subtle and smooth then de-spoilered at the end of the day they all look amazing if done right

spoilerless is an acquired taste my last 2 were spoilerless although i now have a rather large pram handle on the back now to help with the downforce

I like to see a fairly hefty spoiler on a classic, but can't stand the mid spoiler on the wagon. It should have just a roof spoiler, makes the lines easier on the eye imo.

I bought a new wrx (2005) and the first thing I done was replace the spoiler with an sti one as this makes the car look a lot a better. The spoilerless cars look awful imo but everyone to their own. If anyone does want a 2005 wrx spoiler for free I still have it in the loft.

i have a type ra which left the factory with no rear spoiler and no side skirts etc... most type ra,s now look the same as any other impreza because all that stuff has been bolted onto them over the years, so for that reason i,ll be leaving mine as it should be... SPOILERLESS!

I was spoilerless for a while but the car was becoming very light above 160km/h and it was even scary when going faster then 200km/h, so i decided to add a V6 Sti spoiler and now the car is way more steadier and really sticks to the road at high speeds.

I like the no spoiler look, but I've also seen first hand the consequences of not having a spoiler so my spoiler is staying where it is!
