looks very evo-ey. i dunno, but if they made one for my car then i'd think more about it. are there pics of the entire car with it?? oh btw it's not CF, it's also stick on with 3M tape, so some dumbazz can just rip it off your car.

HAHA I just got that today! I like it I personally... think it looks better in person and I think carbon fiber is a perfect match on my car. the chargespeed one has shorter fins than the one posted above I have seen both in person and prefer the longer fins of the kakumei ones.

depends what kind of opinion you are asking for-- for function.. supposedly rear diffusers "soften" the downforce on the rear wing helping to keep the front end from lift-- i imagine the idea is because our cars are a lil front heavy-- thus the spoiler... with the diffuser it makes sense... but i would thing just adding a front lip(functional one) would be better...

just my $.02

Actually, I read that...

These thingies (and the one on the '06 STI) are meant to push more of the airflow over the big spoilers to make them more functional. If I were to get one I would pick up the same one that the STI has because it is already tested to work with the STI wing...it's like they go together hand in hand.

I don't think these fins would work as well with our car's aerodynamics.
