    what do you guys think about an STI hood scoop for my 03' WRX. Should I go with the new 04' STI style or the old style (oem style just bigger)?

    Both look good. I feel that the OEM 02-03 Scoop fits the line of the car better, but after seeing Milo's scoop, it is defintely nice. Either way, like Married04WRX said, bigger is better.

    i say stick with the 02 03 style STI scoop. milos looks good for a few reasons. im not sure how good it would look without the wing risers. too big if you ask me.

    I've got the 03 STI scoop on my 03' wrx. I like it, I agree- it fits better with the lines of the hood.

    I like my 03STI scoop on my 03 wrx...milos scoop is bad ass though but it definitely helps that his spoiler is raised....not sure if it would look right with a regular spoiler...plus i got mine already painted my factory color so it's just a subtle difference....

    I have the STI wing, you can visit my garage for pics, that's why I'm having a hard time making up my mind

    I still think that the curved STI scoop for your 03 WRX fits the curved lines of your 03 hood better than the straight lines of the 04-05 Scoop. On an 04-05, since the hood is all straight it fits well, but with a curvey hood the straight lines of the 05 scoop look a little out of place. I think Milo's looks really good becuase, 1 the carbon fiber matches his risers, and 2 with a black car, the color hides alot of the body lines.

    point taken, that was easy...I was leaning towards 03' style to start with. Thanks for the input.
