Anyone de-spoilered their car?
Discussion
As above really, has anyone done it?
I have read plenty of threads where people have said it would be cool to run a de-spoilered car with FMIC and a blank bonnet - thinking about this route coupled with some nice jap rims.
One of the things that got me thinking bout doing this is the fact that my car has an sti8 spoiler which leaks like f
k!
My boot is pretty much constantly wet. Ive tried running a bead of silicone round it but it never worked.
Dont like the wrx spoiler and never seen an aftermarket one so my damp patch is pushing me into a smoother "stealth" look for the car.
Opinions, pics, fellow damp patch drivers - all welcome.

i) They look st without the spoiler
ii) They are subject to rear end lift at high speed when running without the spoiler
(It was commong for cars to run spoiler less at the MLR 30-130 event, until one guy span at 180mph and it's since been banned.)
But the main reason is that it looks st. (IMO!)

Take the spoiler off to make it more of a sleeper, however, forgetting that you have a 4inch exhaust hanging under the bumper.
Without the bread bin on the bonnet and the picnic table on the boot lid, they just look like an incredibly dull saloon. Which is ironic if your after a sleeper, as in my opinion a sleeper should still look good, just not shout about its performance credentials...
-P
Go to a decent scooby spanner man. They will have a trick to fix this. You probably just need a decent gasket or seal where the bolt holes are.
It does not look good because it looks like its missing something. Even somebody who had never seen a scooby before would think that... And then the drainpipe exhaust and prodrive sticker...
