    I'm starting to 'slowly' get more thoughtful with mods and it would be fun to have but should I keep the stock wrx wing(my cars a bugeye) on my stock trunk or switch to a wingless carbon(its ordered but backorderd so I can still get out of it.???

    they do... but carbon fiber nowadays is so overdone and rice... unless your car is a complete package then just doing the trunk not only looks like an unpainted trunk (like most honda drivers) but you can definitely use that money a lot better on tasteful but noticeable mods..... maybe some lowered springs (if you dont already have them) and some other mods

    my vote ... return it...

    MNAuto has a carbon trunk and i really liek the way it looks on the WRB. i do however think if you do a carbon trunk you should match it with a carbon hood.

    I got the hood and trunk combo and I love it. I also have the WRB JDM STi hood scoop which breaks it up nicely. I really want to get CF Ganador Mirrors as well as carbon fibre brake ducks (replace fogs since I am getting a FMIC), and also a CF vertex piece. This of course will all come in due time. I originally didn't like the look of CF but it has definately grown on me and I can't stop. My only suggestion would to do it evenly on the front vs back. It looks awkward if only half the car is done in CF if you get what I mean

    They are equal and if you really wannna get technical I believe the aluminum is lighter but personally I can take the extra pound or two for the look cause if its done right...it is so sexy
