i am with more is less, thos pics of wingless STi’s are awsome because it looks akward at first and at the same time it makes the rest of the car seem more appealing, when you see an sti the first thing you notice is that huge wing ( or at least i do) and as for the CF trunk i would stray away from that. i think one sold color on a car makes it look complete and clean

Yea he is a member on [iwSTi.com](http://iwSTi.com), from NJ, his name on there is EssteaEye, are you on that forum?

If not, get on there, there is TONS of information on anything you need to know. Over 12,000 members. Also there is a very good amount of owners who have Wingless STi’s too, so its not surprising to find one on there. Check it out, you wont regret it.

Oh and that lip is a CF replica of the S203 lip, its about 300 bucks, look:

The lip is held by just pop rivits I believe, everyone on that forum puts it on themselves.

He has the exact same springs as me, Tanabe GF210’s, the spring rates are nice and high and the drop is sweet.

That front lip is sweet, i have been looking into the v-limited. I still like the v limited better but that is around 500

BTW thanks for posting that joe, i hate not spending my money on god fast parts but it really makes the front end look alot more aggressive.

so besides the springs and the s203 lip, that car has a stock rear bumper and side skirts?
