mintcoffee Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 [quote name='Mono'][quote name='wunderkind']Did you know that the Camry has the exact same spoiler?! Urghh....[/quote] The new Legacy looks a lot like a Camry.[/quote] well I got myself a spoilerless Legacy. For one.. it make the leg look too Camry-ish. The spoiler looks like the camry one.. + the rear lights look sorta like the camry.. the combination of the two sort of emphasized that camry resemblence. And.. after seeing the STi spoiler. I KNEW i wouldn't be satisfied with the stock one :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthedeck Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Didn't really feel that the spolier was functional...and I was trying to get away from the 80's/90's styling of vehicles. Spoilers just don't seem to do it for me. Didn't get one on the GT...and I am 31. Later, i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agctr Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Now I still have my MY01 BUT........ I dont mind the factory spoiler on it, unsure why they REALLY changed the total look and feel from mine. But boys dont be really upset at yrself's as we did try and warn you that the new ones were POX. Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AreEyeSeeKay Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 [quote name='SUBE555']I like the spoiler on my wagon. :)[/quote] Funny, I was thinking that I didn't like the spoiler on my wagon. I was driving on gravel road the other day, and the big blunt end of the wagon left a vacuum that seemed to suck the dust right against my window. Usually wagons and SUVs prevent that with a spoiler that deflects air down towards the window, but the stock legacy wagon spoiler doesn't seem to help in this regard.

BernardP Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 [quote name='godwhomismike'] I can tell you, I disliked it before I got it, and still dislike it, but not as much and for a different reason - the dang thing is right in my rear view mirror :evil: . Thanks. - Mike[/quote] Mike, have you thought about getting it off? You are going to keep the car for at least 3 years and this could be worth it if it makes you like it even more. The car is brand new and the spoiler seems to already be "spoiling" your fun. Some bodywork/painting would be needed on the trunklid, nothing unusual. Maybe reconnect the rear-mounted brake light (I don't know about this), change the trunklid springs (?) and your dealer (or another) could buy back the spoiler from you to help you offset that cost. It would not cost much to ask for an estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtmy04 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I think they're called "spoilers" for a reason! I don't like any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magruder Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I'm 60 - what the hell is a spoiler and do I need one? Seriously, my new GT Ltd MT is sans spoiler - thank God! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KayGT Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 i love the car without the spoiler.....Personally i think the car looks more mature without the spoiler and even more luxurious....however i would consider getting the lip on my trunk but the spoiler will never be on there does anyone know where I could get the lip?

NewSubieLegacy Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I passed on the exact car I wanted that was on the lot because it also had a spoiler. I ordered and waited the 4 weeks (pretty quick) to get one without the spoiler. I'm 46 so that shot the original theory all to hell. I pick up the car tomorrow morning!!!

Boostjunkie Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 28 and I feel that the spoiler absolutely ruins the lines of the car. No way in hell I'd consider an LGT with the spoiler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 From what I've seen on local dealer lots and checking their on-line inventories, very few if any in the Chicago area have the spoiler installed. Seems like some people in other locations are having a hard time finding one without the spoiler, besides ordering. Right now I'm leaning toward going sans-spoiler, but if the lip version was available I'd definitely would go with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Older, I'm almost 50 and love the spoiler. I have a Wagon, but if I got the sedan, I would also like the spoiler. I wish I could have gotten the spoiler on my 00GT Wagon but because of the rack I couldn't fit it with the Thule Ski Box. On my 98GT Wagon I had to redill the box and buy the Legacy Sedan mount kit so I could move the box forward more, to clear it stock wing. Winged wagons are way cool dud... 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs.

fan42025 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 I'm 40 and don't like the spoiler. Makes the car look taller. Spoilers to me are only good looking on really low cars like lambos and ferraris. Glad I didn't get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foerster Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Love the LIP spoiler... Can't say that I care for the current big one though. Personally, ite seems too bulky and thick. If it was a bit more svelte and probably a bit closer to the rear deck, I'd go for it. I think the Accord does a good job in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems every dealer felt people would be tripping over themselves becuse they all would want the spoiler. My dealer didn't charge me for the spoiler, they ate the cost of the spoiler. Plus my car is a lease, so I don't think I could remove it. I'll let you guys know Monday how annoying the rear spoiler is in the rear view mirror, I am going on vacation tonight and it should be a 3+ hour trip. From driving at night it seems to offer one advantage - it blocks out headlights behind you - lol :lol: - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 It seems that most dealerships don't know what's up. They get a bunch of these 5EAT GT LTD sedans with spoilers. I guess my 5MT base GT sedan without spoiler is a rarity. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rimfaxe Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I have a GT Ltd Sedan. It came with the spoiler already installed so I didn't have a choice. I don't like the center brake light. Subaru doesn't even make a plate to cover the hole if you remove the light. I really like the STI lip spoiler- it looks very classy. I doubt I will ever change it out though, given the cost of the spoiler and the cost of a new trunk lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kellera6 Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 I have just test driven the Legacy GT but I can see that the spoiler on the sedan might get in the way. I prefer the smaller spoiler that accentuates the trailing edge of the trunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
