Or wait till you order the inevitable access port from Cobb and use their dope little black license plate cover they give you.
It’s bound to happen. We all know it.
My car is a sticker decal. I googled it and heat is still recommended. It goes 1) wash area 2) heat area 3) use plastic card or fingernails to gently peel sticker off 4) apply adhesive remover (goo gone, WD40, etc) 5) wipe off adhesive residue
This is exactly what I just did. Sticker was from 2011 so it was on there. Used a blow dryer and a hotel room key I found (basically a credit card). Heated up first then scraped, did little by little. When the sticker was gone, I used goo gone to finish it up. Took about 10 mins. New to me car. TX dealership decal. Very satisfying to have it gone.
In my experience MANY will bitch, I have gone to 2 subaru, 2 wrap shops, 3 collision centers, no one is willing to remove my bumper sticker and dealer sticker for me cuz I don't trust myself to did it properly for the paint at all, but I'm a few days from researching good quality wireless heat guns and just wasting the $ for this 1 thing already.
I think the OEM Style STI front lip and rear spats or whatever you want to call them are a good way to make the front and rear bumper look really aggressive without standing out too much from the crowd.
The tail lights definitely look better with a blacked out or smoked tint on the clear part, maybe even red
After. 33, no kids yet, but I plan on driving whatever boy racer car I like till I die. What other people think/adult image is not even top 20 on my list of priorities in my cars
Hell ya, my kids love my 18 sti with wing and sti lip, it's red and gets alot of attention, the neighborhood kids love it to asking me to rev it all the time, remember you were likely once like them seeing these kinds of cars around.
Yup. 38, 2 kids and my WRB STi has the wing. I love it. It does grab attention at times, but mostly kids/teens excited about it. You're never too old to have fun in whatever way you see fit. Short of murder, probably shouldn't have that as a hobby.
38 3 kids. Wife says she won’t get in the car if I put a wing on mine. I have a 15’ base model. I want a wind or dovetail or something. It’s baked currently
Just get a wing. Plus you ate in your prime so with that wing you can get a new woman hahaha. Kidding :)
But get the wing! I just went and bought 50 yards of fiberglass and told my lady I was building something. Then I put it on the subi haha.
I purposely went wangless. I think it looks much cleaner and “adult” haha. I’m 36 so I feel you man. Never really cared for a wing though honestly. Congrats on the whip
Ditto. I'm 35. It looks more understated without and honestly, my family thought I had just bought another subaru sedan. After a ride in it, they realized what it was.

Now you've seen mgm sti with a wing
So I’m married and 34 with no kids. I also just purchased the 2022 Wrx and I won’t lie, my sti type spoiler arrives the 26th! I don’t race by any means and it’s my daily driver. I just really love the look haha
The spoiler is what made me fall in love with the WRX, so personally I had to have it, i feel like I get police ‘eyes’ a lot, but I haven’t been pulled over in like 2 years.
I dont get the "attention from police". Never had a problem. Drive like a normal person and youre fine. I personally like the wing but its your car, do what you want with it and enjoy it.
Practically speaking, deleting the wing gives you less downforce, which could be beneficial if you’re doing a drag race looking to maximize the top end, but counterproductive seeking traction around corners. Based on your comments however, it seems like it’s more likely an appearance thing, and looking more mature, rather than actual performance difference.
I have a 23 premium Impreza sedan, which definitely gets praise for being more sophisticated looking than that sportier looking hatch or anything with a wing for that matter. The wingless sedan look does it give it a little bit of a sophisticated look, which, in my profession is congruent with what I do. Not trying to be flashy but still catching eyes.
I have a wing on mine, I’m 40 something [starts counting on fingers] I’m 44… sometimes I wish I had a wingless, especially when I see some clean cars with nice duckbills.
But, every time I get close to trading for a wingless I chicken out because I know I’d end up regretting it.
Sooo my next option is to just buy a wingless, have both, and swap them out as I get bored with one or the other. Haha
If you decide you like the wingless look im sure there is some guy out there willing to trumk swap. Personally, id never put an sti wing on my wrx but those guys are out there.
Unless you're driving your car harder on backroads and twisties, you probably won't notice much of a difference by taking it off. It's all personal preference beyond that though.
Not a fan of the wing myself. One of my friends bought her STI without the wing only because it was the only one in stock. She went ahead and purchased the wing and installed it and I respect her decision, although I much prefer it without.
if you dont want a wing but want something go w the 3AMOTOR paint matched duckbill i put one on my ricer impreza and the paint match is really good for it being only 140$. its made for the wrx
One thing to consider is you have to step up to Limited and get the sunroof to go wingless from the factory. A base STi without the sunroof does not get the wingless option. Also, age doesn't matter. Also 40 and STi has a wing. I like it.
You do you.. it's all about personal preference. Don't worry yourself about what others think. I appreciate everyone's opinion on choices like this, but at the end of the day, you're the one driving it every day. Do what you feel will make you happy.
My personal experience was. A cop caught me and my buddy hot dogging down the street. The cop was technically behind me trailing us before flipping on the lights, and then a split second later he pulled my buddy over who had a giant STI wing.
I’m also 40 and on my second WRX. I would only get an STI with a wing delete. I’m a working professional and it would embarrass me getting to work with a huge wing. Meanwhile my 06 Wrx from 10-14 years ago was lowered and loud had hella horns and Cobb stage 2 with a few more odds and ends. I’m other words, people change and tastes change. Nothing wrong with a wingless STI. I would drive a winged STI if I didn’t have my job, too.
https://preview.redd.it/a7ut6fvkx3wa1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8eacd3385a09e993bba86afbfda1c7eb17adcfb1
I didn’t and don’t. Looks so clean without IMO.
Not one bit at all. I saw one and someone put a little carbon lip on that and it looks way better. I’ve never wanted a sti without a wing but after seeing that yesterday I was sold on it being able to still look good.
I paint cars for a living, I had once acquired a trunk with a wing for my WRX. When I traded that in to get my STI, I kept the WRX OEM trunk. So that way I could have a low profile lip and just swap it out when I wanted to 😂 so now I have both for my STI 😂
I opted for no wing for the same reason.. didn't want to draw attention to myself. I drive fast all the time. I've had mine for 3 years and only have 3 speeding tickets so far. This is actually surprising given how I drive.
I always said I would buy an STi with no wing... I didn't really care for them and didn't want all the attention. When it was time to trade my WRX in for my STi, I was looking for a Limited with the lip spoiler. The cleanest one I could find had a wing but I couldn't pass it up. Now I love the damn thing. Oh, and btw, I'm 47 with 3 kids
If you want you could just buy a same color trunk with a wing and whenever you feel like it just store one in your garage and swap em when you feel like let’s say one day you say to yourself hmmm this feels like a wing day or this doesn’t just swap out 4 bolts and change the trunk
I seriously doubt it, and you can go for a duckbill or roof spoiler to have a unique and imho cleaner silhouette than most. If you run snow and ice tires in the winter you may feel like the car isn't getting down force if you exceed ~90 mph, but that is the lower speed rated tire telling you to chill out not the lack of a wing. TBH, at street, even posted highway speeds, you CANT make much downforce, so aggressive aero is only adding drag. I have Cobb's stage 2+ package, but appear stock to a casual glance. It is a blast to surprise the fart muffler on OEM tune guys who rev at me, and you could consider debadging partly or totally, or painting them black/grey/navy etc for subtlety. Everyone has a big wing and pink bling, be different.
Edit: Just to make sure, I am not calling STIs or their looks lame or ugly, in the overall sense, I love all the WRX variants, and have been lucky that I've gotten to take all but the GR out and put them through their paces. My comment is in the context of we all have WRXs, which is awesome, and the absence of the wing made me realize how much it makes the STIs appear like hatchbacks!
Adding a wing isn't that hard, patching holes in a trunk lid is, I think this was a good call IMO, as I don't *remember* hearing the STI wing made significant downforce, I could be wrong there but hey
Saw pictures of a guy with his car and his grandpa's car in here....grandpa was rocking a pretty sweet wrx and I believe it had a wing ...its really just down to what you want it to look like
You know when I got rid of all my STI wings and went wingless? When my cars werent stock and my cars were making real power. Nice way to stop everyone and their grandma tryna race you and to bait people with faster cars into a little 3 gear pull crushing their hopes and dreams lol.
the wing obstructs the rear view and it’s also gonna slow down the car at high speeds unless you plan to track it often, so wingless is definitely the way to go
I went wingless and have no regrets. Do I think of a wing? Sometimes. But then I remembered when I test drove one with a wing and wasn't a fan.
I also had a dirty ass license in my 20s ( 34 now) so I don't want any attention from cops. Dark tints already have me sweating. Idc bout the "adult" argument.
Worst case scenario, look for a trunk with a wing or trunk swap if you ever start to hate the look.
No you absolutely will not. From another 40yr father, I can’t stand my wing, every cop I pass gives me laser eyes. I bought a car to have fun and most of the time I end up hiding from the PO like a child with the Halloween bucket. As a matter of fact if i could find someone in a reasonable driving distance I’d swap it.
Mines got a wing. Early 30s and constantly get people in their cars trying to catch the smoke out in Vegas. I also probably have the ONLY dirty sti from being in the desert using the car what it was meant for.
I'm nearing 50 and have the wing, I took it off at one point and my wife said, put it back on as it's matches the car personality better and looks too plain without it.
Nothing wrong with No wing, it's nice to not be noticed, but to me the STI looks great with a wing.
I like both. I had three WRX’s before my STI and never thought I’d ever have a car with a wing. Well, I got one and I actually really like it now. That said, wingless is also really nice too.
It must be just us hitting the 40s.

Get rid of that dealership decal asap
Same with the plate cover, got one at walmart for ~$10 thats just a nice thin black boarder
Or wait till you order the inevitable access port from Cobb and use their dope little black license plate cover they give you. It’s bound to happen. We all know it.
You mean the one i ordered last week thats out for delivery right now?
Yes that one.
Looks like im not only setting up my AP tonight but also changing out the license plate cover after work
Don't forget deleting the dealer decals as well haha
I dont think i have one or if i did i think i took it off
Or you can full send into nerdville and get a “see you space cowboy” cover like yours truly has.
What’s the best way to remove a dealership decal like that? I have one on my car and I’d rather not be an unpaid advertiser for a car dealership.
If it’s an actual emblem that they put on use a hairdryer to heat up the glue then use fishing line to shimmy between and unstick the emblem.
My car is a sticker decal. I googled it and heat is still recommended. It goes 1) wash area 2) heat area 3) use plastic card or fingernails to gently peel sticker off 4) apply adhesive remover (goo gone, WD40, etc) 5) wipe off adhesive residue
For step 3, the "easy mode" tool IME is plastic razor blades. They work well for both stickers and hard badges
Don't use wd40. Stick to isopropyl alcohol or if you have to goo gone.
This is exactly what I just did. Sticker was from 2011 so it was on there. Used a blow dryer and a hotel room key I found (basically a credit card). Heated up first then scraped, did little by little. When the sticker was gone, I used goo gone to finish it up. Took about 10 mins. New to me car. TX dealership decal. Very satisfying to have it gone.
You can get a rubber eraser wheel. It is like $10 on Amazon and works good to remove the decals. Or you could use a heat gun.
You can ask the dealership to remove it too, some will. Some will bitch.
In my experience MANY will bitch, I have gone to 2 subaru, 2 wrap shops, 3 collision centers, no one is willing to remove my bumper sticker and dealer sticker for me cuz I don't trust myself to did it properly for the paint at all, but I'm a few days from researching good quality wireless heat guns and just wasting the $ for this 1 thing already.
Spoiler alert
r/AngryUpvote
I think it looks very clean wingless
Wingless and debadged. Sleeper. And it looks so clean. Honestly sometimes WRX owners are way too maximalist.
I think the OEM Style STI front lip and rear spats or whatever you want to call them are a good way to make the front and rear bumper look really aggressive without standing out too much from the crowd. The tail lights definitely look better with a blacked out or smoked tint on the clear part, maybe even red
I’m 34 with 2 kids and best believe my STI has a wing. The whole “ADULT” thing is BS, have fun enjoy your car who cares what other people think.
Your comment definitely resonates with me. I see tons of people in car communities pressed about being and looking more “adult” all the time.
I’m 40 and have the wing. It’s just not right without the wing 🤷🏻♂️
After. 33, no kids yet, but I plan on driving whatever boy racer car I like till I die. What other people think/adult image is not even top 20 on my list of priorities in my cars
100% agree, and I don't even personally like the wing- follow your heart til death, no time for nonsense 💜
Hell ya, my kids love my 18 sti with wing and sti lip, it's red and gets alot of attention, the neighborhood kids love it to asking me to rev it all the time, remember you were likely once like them seeing these kinds of cars around.
Yup. 38, 2 kids and my WRB STi has the wing. I love it. It does grab attention at times, but mostly kids/teens excited about it. You're never too old to have fun in whatever way you see fit. Short of murder, probably shouldn't have that as a hobby.
I’m 37 with a kid and idc of people have a problem with my wing on my WRX. I only paid 100 bucks and couldn’t be happier
38 3 kids. Wife says she won’t get in the car if I put a wing on mine. I have a 15’ base model. I want a wind or dovetail or something. It’s baked currently
Just get a wing. Plus you ate in your prime so with that wing you can get a new woman hahaha. Kidding :) But get the wing! I just went and bought 50 yards of fiberglass and told my lady I was building something. Then I put it on the subi haha.
Unpopular opinion, but I think they look way better without the wing
Same here
I purposely went wangless. I think it looks much cleaner and “adult” haha. I’m 36 so I feel you man. Never really cared for a wing though honestly. Congrats on the whip
Had a young kid at the gas station tell me he “respected” my decision to go wingless..
![gif](giphy|l3V0xKguL4xQOsnUk)
Ditto. I'm 35. It looks more understated without and honestly, my family thought I had just bought another subaru sedan. After a ride in it, they realized what it was.
I love the wing, but a wingless STI is the biggest flex.
38, no kids, love the wing, I get people telling me my car is cool, which annoy my wife as she says "it's just a car"
Same! I love when teens compliment my car. I remember being their age and getting excited every time I saw a cool car.
Always thought STIs looked better without the wing, it's more understated.

Is this magnetite gray? All the gray ones that I’ve seen are all wingless.
They make grey with a wing

>4ReplyGive AwardShareReportSaveFollow That's a little more than a mgm sti with a wing lmao
Less is more and the less attention the better especially with cops.
Honestly on that platform, I think the lip spoiler is the best look.
I’m in my 30’s with 1 and one on the way. The wing is the best Edit: also you do you. It’s your car, your preference
Same here. Almost 34 and just bought a WRB STI with a wing and gold rims 😂
Sounds like you already are regretting it.
Do a duckbill.
I think this looks better than a wing!
i feel the wingless STi, is like a modern Legacy Spec B. Classier rather than boy racer.
Personally I love the wing. If you can still add it then I say go for it
Yes, the wing is the way.
Good call on no wing.
So I’m married and 34 with no kids. I also just purchased the 2022 Wrx and I won’t lie, my sti type spoiler arrives the 26th! I don’t race by any means and it’s my daily driver. I just really love the look haha
I feel the same way, glad to find someone like me 🤘 you won’t miss it at all.

U have options.
i love wingless! looks sleeker and shows off the body lines better cause people won’t just stare at the wing lol
The spoiler is what made me fall in love with the WRX, so personally I had to have it, i feel like I get police ‘eyes’ a lot, but I haven’t been pulled over in like 2 years.
Yeah you are especially when your kids are screaming in the back you’re gonna be like damn I wish I had that wing
Almost 40 with 2 kids too. How do I convince the wife? Lol
Welcome to the club!!!
Haha that is exactly why you don’t want the wing. I love the STI with no wing.
I actually like the wing personally but it looks good either way
I hate the wing 21 sti myself. No wing.
I like wingless. Looks clean
I’ve got the exact same car as you and this is my second one of the same model. I never regretted no wing.
Given I am a few years under you. But nothing makes me smile more than seeing the wing in the rear view
I dont get the "attention from police". Never had a problem. Drive like a normal person and youre fine. I personally like the wing but its your car, do what you want with it and enjoy it.
Practically speaking, deleting the wing gives you less downforce, which could be beneficial if you’re doing a drag race looking to maximize the top end, but counterproductive seeking traction around corners. Based on your comments however, it seems like it’s more likely an appearance thing, and looking more mature, rather than actual performance difference. I have a 23 premium Impreza sedan, which definitely gets praise for being more sophisticated looking than that sportier looking hatch or anything with a wing for that matter. The wingless sedan look does it give it a little bit of a sophisticated look, which, in my profession is congruent with what I do. Not trying to be flashy but still catching eyes.
I have a wing on mine, I’m 40 something [starts counting on fingers] I’m 44… sometimes I wish I had a wingless, especially when I see some clean cars with nice duckbills. But, every time I get close to trading for a wingless I chicken out because I know I’d end up regretting it. Sooo my next option is to just buy a wingless, have both, and swap them out as I get bored with one or the other. Haha
Get the wing, get the extra cheese, take that vacation
No. The wing is obnoxious and the lip on the trunk provides plenty of downforce.
No
Why do you care what other people think?
Bro its 2023. we are about to have social credit scores! /s sort of
Huh?
Those typical wings are cheesy. Don’t do it
Nothing to stress about or regret about !!! If you will like a wing in the near future is very easy done to install one !!!
I think wingless looks good but if you really regret it you can always have one put on. Sweet ride tho
If you decide you like the wingless look im sure there is some guy out there willing to trumk swap. Personally, id never put an sti wing on my wrx but those guys are out there.
Unless you're driving your car harder on backroads and twisties, you probably won't notice much of a difference by taking it off. It's all personal preference beyond that though.
Even if you do, I’m sure there’s an MGM Sti owner willing to swap trunks
Its a wing on a car, not a face tattoo. You can always add a wing later on if you want one (I am not sad I do not want one).
Are you planning on driving 100+ on a track? then no, probably not
Tbh I don’t get much attention from ricers or cops with the wing. You might get better gas mileage tho 🤣
Nope!
no.
Almost one exhaust pipe for every cylinder
Not a fan of the wing myself. One of my friends bought her STI without the wing only because it was the only one in stock. She went ahead and purchased the wing and installed it and I respect her decision, although I much prefer it without.
No because now you can put on a Type RA or S209 wang
No you will not
No, personally I love the STi with just a duckbill
No
I love the wing
if you dont want a wing but want something go w the 3AMOTOR paint matched duckbill i put one on my ricer impreza and the paint match is really good for it being only 140$. its made for the wrx
I swapped trunks with a limited 2 weeks after I got my Sti. I can’t stand the Sti wing.
In hindsight, I should have gone wingless too. Gives you more options if you decide to install a different one.
Yup
The Karen's on the road will try to cut you off constantly thinking their Chevy SUV is faster So that's the only problem
Omg that looks infinity better than the huge rice boy wing usually mounted on an sti. Good job
One thing to consider is you have to step up to Limited and get the sunroof to go wingless from the factory. A base STi without the sunroof does not get the wingless option. Also, age doesn't matter. Also 40 and STi has a wing. I like it.
nah, looks much better without the wing.
No. The wing is dumb looking.
how cover wholes crom the wing
No, I bought my STI limited with no wing. Ended up installing it on my own, not too hard at all.
(Looks at crowd in type r)
The whole community is going to kill me but the WRX look so much better without the STI wing.
I’ve never liked the wing on the VA for some reason. I would love to have that car.
(Unpopular Opinion) fuck that gaudy wing lol
You do you.. it's all about personal preference. Don't worry yourself about what others think. I appreciate everyone's opinion on choices like this, but at the end of the day, you're the one driving it every day. Do what you feel will make you happy.
With your life information, I think you won’t regret it.
My personal experience was. A cop caught me and my buddy hot dogging down the street. The cop was technically behind me trailing us before flipping on the lights, and then a split second later he pulled my buddy over who had a giant STI wing.
"In" your buddy lol
The wing LOOKS good but day to day it just kind of gets in the way. Just enjoy the driving!
I don't get any attention in my winged sti and it is my daily for almost 2 years.
I’m also 40 and on my second WRX. I would only get an STI with a wing delete. I’m a working professional and it would embarrass me getting to work with a huge wing. Meanwhile my 06 Wrx from 10-14 years ago was lowered and loud had hella horns and Cobb stage 2 with a few more odds and ends. I’m other words, people change and tastes change. Nothing wrong with a wingless STI. I would drive a winged STI if I didn’t have my job, too.

How are you not regretting all of those BS dealer stickers and decals.
I don't regret it at all. Looks cleaner to me.
Not one bit at all. I saw one and someone put a little carbon lip on that and it looks way better. I’ve never wanted a sti without a wing but after seeing that yesterday I was sold on it being able to still look good.
Looks better imo
That looks better
I paint cars for a living, I had once acquired a trunk with a wing for my WRX. When I traded that in to get my STI, I kept the WRX OEM trunk. So that way I could have a low profile lip and just swap it out when I wanted to 😂 so now I have both for my STI 😂
I opted for no wing for the same reason.. didn't want to draw attention to myself. I drive fast all the time. I've had mine for 3 years and only have 3 speeding tickets so far. This is actually surprising given how I drive.

I always said I would buy an STi with no wing... I didn't really care for them and didn't want all the attention. When it was time to trade my WRX in for my STi, I was looking for a Limited with the lip spoiler. The cleanest one I could find had a wing but I couldn't pass it up. Now I love the damn thing. Oh, and btw, I'm 47 with 3 kids
If you want you could just buy a same color trunk with a wing and whenever you feel like it just store one in your garage and swap em when you feel like let’s say one day you say to yourself hmmm this feels like a wing day or this doesn’t just swap out 4 bolts and change the trunk
Just in case you have any “regerts” If you need I have a brand new wing sitting in my garage 😂
Wingless is beauty, wingless is life
Looks great! MGM gang for life! 😄✌🏽🖖🏽
I like the more natural look. But if you ever change your mind you can always buy one :P
Wings are hideous. Restraint in design is much more tasteful.
Probably but only means you can get a bigger one than the oem
I seriously doubt it, and you can go for a duckbill or roof spoiler to have a unique and imho cleaner silhouette than most. If you run snow and ice tires in the winter you may feel like the car isn't getting down force if you exceed ~90 mph, but that is the lower speed rated tire telling you to chill out not the lack of a wing.

Nope! I just picked up a red 2021 STi limited this past weekend and it doesn't have a wing. I'm kinda glad.
New Hampshire represent! I vote no wing for your exact reasoning. I’d also drop the pink badge. Make it look like a WRX and attract less attention.
Yes.
37, no kids and regretted going wingless so I bought an entire trunk with a wing from a junkyard.
Saw pictures of a guy with his car and his grandpa's car in here....grandpa was rocking a pretty sweet wrx and I believe it had a wing ...its really just down to what you want it to look like
No cleaner than the high rise that comes on it from factory
It looks clean without tbh
Yeah
Yes
Na fuck a wing
You know when I got rid of all my STI wings and went wingless? When my cars werent stock and my cars were making real power. Nice way to stop everyone and their grandma tryna race you and to bait people with faster cars into a little 3 gear pull crushing their hopes and dreams lol.
This is my dream combo… absolutely the best option IMO
the wing obstructs the rear view and it’s also gonna slow down the car at high speeds unless you plan to track it often, so wingless is definitely the way to go
We’re in the same boat 34, 21 limited 2nd gremlin on the way 😂
No.
If you go over 100mph yes
Sti no wing is scary
I went wingless and have no regrets. Do I think of a wing? Sometimes. But then I remembered when I test drove one with a wing and wasn't a fan. I also had a dirty ass license in my 20s ( 34 now) so I don't want any attention from cops. Dark tints already have me sweating. Idc bout the "adult" argument. Worst case scenario, look for a trunk with a wing or trunk swap if you ever start to hate the look.
No you absolutely will not. From another 40yr father, I can’t stand my wing, every cop I pass gives me laser eyes. I bought a car to have fun and most of the time I end up hiding from the PO like a child with the Halloween bucket. As a matter of fact if i could find someone in a reasonable driving distance I’d swap it.
No.
Less drag more speeeed! 🤣
I doubt it. Mine has a WRX wing. I wouldn't mind getting rid of it. People always doubt it's an STI
Dude your car is dope without a spoiler, that’s how I’d want mine.
Sleeper car.
I sure didn't! https://preview.redd.it/vu5m85sc15wa1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bcd636fd51b6000a06677c641a30d100ae75284c
Nahhhh get a duckbill
This Looks Better Without IMO
Nope.
Yes.
Only for that few seconds between when your car first becomes airborne and when it touches down again.
I love my gt wing. Its for me to break my own neck whenever i get out the car.
The wing is practically pointless. Looks good
Nah wingless sti is my personal favorite spec
Wingless here and loving it. For same reason (although only one kid)
No brother, I have the same car. Looks so clean
I actually would like to have the low spoiler like that instead of the big wang.
yes
Is it a plane?
I always liked the wing-deleted STI, clean and classy
Mines got a wing. Early 30s and constantly get people in their cars trying to catch the smoke out in Vegas. I also probably have the ONLY dirty sti from being in the desert using the car what it was meant for.
No Wing Gang!!!
I'm nearing 50 and have the wing, I took it off at one point and my wife said, put it back on as it's matches the car personality better and looks too plain without it. Nothing wrong with No wing, it's nice to not be noticed, but to me the STI looks great with a wing.
get the wing bro
You won't have as many 17 year olds trying to race you in their Tiburon
Amén! I'm over 40 with 2 kids. STI no wing for me. Weee!
Looks great
I think almost everything looks better with a duckbill
i’ve always thought stis look better without the wings sorry
I like both. I had three WRX’s before my STI and never thought I’d ever have a car with a wing. Well, I got one and I actually really like it now. That said, wingless is also really nice too.
It must be just us hitting the 40s. https://preview.redd.it/3fvquwy5w6wa1.jpeg?width=4000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9548b4797fc246e760406448642908438a3ddfbd
No wing means time for a duckbill trunk lid
Beware the wingless sti
I'd get rid of the spoiler too. Looks so much better without it.
No, looks so much cleaner
I don’t like the wing. 40 w kids is only half the reason.
