Got an 04/05 style hoodscoop.

It’s FRP. Chargespeed, piece looks pretty well constructed. You cannot use the OEM 04/05 sti scoop on an 06. I Have always preferred the 04/05 style and wanted it since i bought the car, **I know it’s not going to improve peformance at all.** However, since i am painting a new bumper (and my 240sx) _world rally blue_, i figured now was the perfect time.

it’s probably an inch taller and has a way more aggressive look to it. it kind of slants forward on the 04/05

Wow. I have never seen that version on an STi. What is the the JDM version? Hmm I like Newman’s better… And where’s the Subaru plaque on the grill?

Definitly liking the more aggressive hood scoop. I don’t see why everyone is blind and can’t see a difference?

I still hate the stock spoiler though, cant see crap out the rear window…
