Let us know what you think about them. They are trying to see if it's worth it to make them and bring them over to the U.S. Market.

what I would do, and this is just a thought. Is to extend the flush spoiler our 3-5 inches out from the trunk.so its flush (flat) on the trunk but still provides the downforce and looks good. Plus, no one else makes one and they look bitchin... just my .02

Its hard to till just from the drawings.Maybe some computer generated pics would help.That way we can get a better look at them.

all the cross sections are pretty similar with the exception of the last one having a z type shape.
any type of lip spoiler for the trunklid would be appreciated as long as it's not a ridiculous price for such a small piece...

Damn. Too bad I have a wagon.
They need to make a universal in some semi-flexible material, i'd put any of those on my non-subies. :)

1 or 3
| 05WRXwagon | 09-16-2005 11:35 AM |
I think they should get one that improves the downforce and quit worrying about small changes in the looks.
| shicane | 09-16-2005 12:01 PM |
which ever the design they choose to go with... it would be great if the piece doesnt look like its tacked on.. ie...the wing slopes down and sits flush with the trunk .. that would great both style and performance wise..
i vote for #3 and #4!! :cool:

| bushflyr | 09-16-2005 01:21 PM |
As far as looks go, 1, 3, or 4. But whiteGDB's pwns them all. The real question is which provides the most down force. "More than stock"... If I want more than stock I'll give my Trunkmonkey an extra six pack. :rolleyes:
| Ineed2speed | 09-16-2005 05:36 PM |
[QUOTE=whiteGDB]you mean something like this? although a little larger.

Thanks for the positive feedback, wasn't sure if anyone would like it.

Prodrive testing the waters on a new spoiler is great....but could you ask them why they haven't gone through on the 04/05 lip? Would be much more interested in that.

#3 is similar to the lower trunk portion of my zerosports wing. Works very well with the upper half. But personally, I think this look works for a car like the S4, not the WRX or STI. Cars with much better looks to begin with and much prettier cross sections.
Also, how many people are going to buy this with all the holes in their trunks? Every WRX and STi comes with a wing. We'll all have to do a trunk swap, an added price. Or are they hoping to attract the RS market? Won't happen. Most of the RS owners out there, with a few exceptions, don't care about modifying their cars and aren't members here.
P.S. Tell Prodrive to release the front end for the 04-05 they were supposed to release a while back.

I like the designs that slope down at the sides to blend in with the quarter panels.
| truwrxtacy | 09-17-2005 11:22 PM |
looks kinda like the mines spoiler to me... :huh:
| ScoobyNubieToo! | 09-18-2005 12:39 AM |
Is it me or do all of the pictures look almost the same?
| Richmond WRX | 09-18-2005 02:46 AM |
They need a none of the above option. It would be nice to see something smaller then the sti wing but slightly larger then wrx wing. For those that want something in the middle about the only option is wing risers or the over priced spoilers from different versions of the sti . Mines already has a spoiler design close to alll those anyway.
| spongejosh | 09-18-2005 04:38 PM |
i'd say 2, 5 and 6 are the best looking ones. i've always wanted a m3 looking wing but the mines version is is way to big and clunky. the actual bmw wing is very small and tasteful. it also leaves a very small footprint on the trunk. the mines wraps down the back and looks too big. c-mon prodrive and make an affordable nice little spoiler.

Interesting idea. The comment about holes in our current trunks is right on.

I like 1 and 3 because they start out low and peak in the center. But if they would put a LED brakelight in there I would buy one in a flash.

| Phil Jr. | 12-23-2005 11:47 PM |
i voted #4...but honestly I would like any of them besides 5/6/7. The way the impreza trunk is shaped you need a rear lip that is taller in the middle and shorter on the two sides...imo
I would DEF. buy on of these if it was prodrive engineered though, less weight/drag....yet the same or more downforce? Where do I send my check? :D

+1. Although it looks very similar to the Mines lip. Someone else has been posting about making one like that too recently. How will it be attached, double sided tape or bolted on?
