hmmm i will have to look it up later but it was something about impacting on the front bumper at low speeds can't do any damage and they didn't want to have to put all sorts of reinforcmenet for a FMIC or something like that. after i get home i will try to search it out.

I don't like wings either. Makes the car look cheap IMO. Also they block rear visibility which aint good. But I guess its needed in the STi and Evo since they pack horsepower in such a light car you need the wong for downforce.eaglecatcher wrote:I personally don't like big wings, I like small ones.

only when you get up over like 125mph. as far as blocking rear visibility... the worst part about that is it is at the exact right place to hide the lightbar on top of a police car behind you.Jeffs wrote:I don't like wings either.
