    holy crap.....

    you are a ricer. Now you'll get m4d tyt3 downforc3s y0!

    At least it's not an APC spoiler.

    j/k it doesn't look half bad. Now you need the towel rack from the '06/07's and it'll be complete.

    Its one of those things... if I see that car on the track it is sexy, but if I see that on Jimmy Carter you are a ricer.

    Yes, you are 100% ricer. Is that a Black painted trunk or Carbon Fiber?

    The trunk is primer black from the factory. We are going to get it painted to match the car.

    I think it looks sweet as fuck! I've always had a soft spot for the big aero spoilers.

    Too big for my taste, but I believe function should always come before form for any performance application. However, I am curious whether aerodynamics make any difference at autoX speeds.

    haha, I bet the wing effects are fairly minimal at 50mph, but it does provide some flair :)

    I think Mere's goal for the car is to have the most flair, kind of like Brian from Office Space:

    Do you mean MMTasty from here? I have a front lip I need painted, and also need to paint the STi Scoop. I want to get it done soon, while I still have the money to do so.

    Everyone knows that a wing like that adds at least 45whp.

    I mean seriously.

    Agreed. But depending on the angle, some of it is pulling you backwards :D

    I left one side off for the picture so that you could see the cross-section. They are both on now.

    We need more pictures. Get a profile picture from a decent distance.

    You should paint the trunk fo-carbon fiber.

    Are you getting a the GTC-500? I had considered getting that one, as it is a bit bigger, but I heard that the fitment isn't as good, and might require some fabrication.

    Not only is it huge but dang that thing is wider than the car. Don't go clipping pedestrians when you turn onto a new highway.

    haha...

    I actually do think that the wing will provide some downforce, so I don't doubt that it will be functional. We can modify it to give a greater angle, which should take effect at lower speeds.

    Get a nice cow catcher in the front.

    I think it looks pretty cool. It can't be worse the stock wing.

    yeah, for STU, some sort of wing is required, and this one removes 10lbs of weight from the car.

    I could remove more weight with a smaller one, but I kind of like the flare :)

    I was wondering why you'd want downforce for auto-x. Rotation FTW!

    We are going to put ours up at the same height as the gt500 but the uprights will go all the way to the frame rails and it will hang further back than where your's is.
