    where is the best place w/ the best price to get a cf RS hood for my 05 sti? i'm also looking for a wingless trunk(doesn't matter if its cf or not).....i'm really picky about fitment, so that is the most important thing.

    Your best bet in finding a wingless trunk is to find somebody local who wants an STi wing on their car. Should be pretty simple to find a wingless trunk from a regular WRX owner, just post up in the classifieds. Somebody will bite soon enough, and all you have to dro is trade trunks & the springs.

    Hope this helps!

    Maybe check around on google. I dont know many folks on here with CF hoods on their STI's.

    As far as a wingless trunk you could always go swing by the dealer and pick one up and have it painted. probably cost around ~500 or so.

    Scroll down and take a look at what they have. No "RS" Style hoods, but they have different hoods without a hood scoop. There's also the reverse scoop that you can put on. They also have CF trunks.

    yeah, i've got the injen fmic w/ my stock turbo right now. i'm gonna be upgrading the turbo and to a larger fmic here soon.

    finally got in touch w/ the guy through iwsti, i pm'd the guy like a week and a half ago and didn't think he was gonna get back w/ me......thus why i posted everywhere about it.....anyway, he told me it was a new style cf RS hood and the only place in the country you could get them was South Coast Subaru. i figured i would post it in case anyone else liked the hood and wanted one!

    thats a pic of a reverse cowl hood, theres a hole in the middle to get hot air of of the engine bay. rs's(post my01) have no holes

    a reverse cowl is great for front mounts but is not an rs hood
