Go for the biggy mate, the 22b one will look awesome. I am looking at the moment for a bigger spoiler myself, only got the standard '93 wrx one on and will probably go for a big rear spoiler in the end.

go for the sti5/6 spoiler well nice will cost about £300 plus paint but well worth the money,,,

i bought what was supposed to be an sti4 spoiler an when it turned up it was a top of an sti6 <too wide needs bottom to fit>doh so i am gunna try and mount it on a low line spoiler and see what it looks like!!!!! should be fun.....

Changed my STI4 spoiler for an STI5 and think it's the best mod i've done so far..

another nice one is the WRC spoiler the one that comes standard on an RB5....worth a look..!!

newport white scooby, good luck with that spoiler mod,i reckon that top half blended on would make a unique spoiler.i'm handy to a degree, but i'd **** that up big time.anything else on the cards for your sport yet?

Question

lee,
was there a great difference in the height between the 4 and 5 ?like i said i didnt think if it would look right only being a sport,even tho' its got the turbo bonnet.
out of curio,do the turbo owners think its cool to make 'em look like a turbo,or we shouldn't bother.turkish,what do you think?(not putting you on the spot,just curious to any opinions,being a scooby newie!)

Yes there is a big differance in an STI4 & STI5 but a better one if you ask me that's why i changed mine, In my opinion i would go for it mate, lets face it from the out side they are the same appart from the bonnet, and if anyone looks down on someone's cause they drive a sport then they are ar5holes and not worth the time of day.

Hi scooby from the vallys, in my personal opinion i think the sport should be left as a sport, no offence meant to anyone as that is how subaru intended it, the money you spend turning it into a turbo look alike you could spend on the insurance and get a turbo version.

This is only my opinion and good luck to anyone who want's to do anything different.

Go for the STi5, my STi4 came from the land of the rising sun with one dealer fitted, looks better than the STi4 version
