yeah try and get a rx bootlid as sometimes when the panel shop weld the holes up the the metal may warp.

im another one who loves it dewinged. But as its been said its really a matter of preference.

just make sure its lowered, has wheels and tint. these cosmetic mods set it off in my opinion

CF boot lid then paint. Weight saving and flush finish in one go.

Grommets look ghetto, always will, they are a fail at fit and finish and look cheap.

The STI Spoiler looks awesome but without the wing will be something a little different. I don't want the black gromits, it will drive me crazy. I'm going to get a few things sprayed so i'll get the boot lid dont at the same time. BUNG!!!

Where can i see this lip you speak of..?? I think i have seen them on the later model WRX but not on a GC8. I know what you are saying about looking povo. Can look bare sometimes without the wing.

No it wont. Every 2nd GC8 is de-winged these days. Be different and KEEP the wing on.

You should sell the sedan GC8 and get a wagon (GF8) and get the proper STi wings for the hatch (top and waist) - other than JME's hatch, i've not seen a hatch with the proper STi wings
