Mitch Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Thanks for the kind words... The car was in an accident about a month ago and they just declared it totaled last week. Funny how life works sometimes. Sorry to hear that. Apparently your okay though. That's the good thing. What happened? You parting out anything? At least let me know where it's going.

Gasaraki Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 ...clearing of the back windshield, reduced dust accumulation on our long rear bumper is what i'm really aiming for... Me too. Anyone know how to make to the air flow over my rear windows so it can get clear at speed? My 97 did a better job than my 08. Could it be because my 97 had a spoiler and my 08 doesn't?

TSiWRX Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 ^ Strange.... My rear window does a decent job at "self clearing" at anything above 40 MPH or so. I have the OEM spoiler on my '05. Does that spoiler actually do something!!?!? <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasaraki Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Currently the whole middle column of my rear window will have water swirls at speed but towards both sides, they are absolutely clear. Just want to direct some air directly over the glass to clear them up better or faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impulse Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 ^ yea, exactly, the sides are clear from the air flowing around the car, but the middle is snow covered/has water droplets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyWachter Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 ok, so it seems like a lot of you are against these, but i liked the aggressive look so i figured i would try it. check it out and let me know what you think. http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k131/jon_wachter/5ca3aec3.jpg http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k131/jon_wachter/023c4e5a.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda like how the STI aero was mostly designed for average speeds of like....35-45mph (when STI was slapped on a race car that subaru could tout as 'stock' and win races with). Guess big wings only work at over 100 then right? Its aerodynamics guys, big or small it will make a difference, go put a big GT wing on your car and drive it in a windstorm and find out for yourself. Whether that difference is worth your money is a valid question but that is not the argument I see from most of lgt.com. Just because it happens to be popular with ricers (and often times not that attractive) doesn't decrease its merit, and to shun it simply for that is just ignorant. With that said, I wouldn't do it because I don't think it's worth my money, but to each their own. Not that hard guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
