I would only put my stock STi wing on for meets or track days. Most of the time it was the limited trunk which had a subtle lip. Far smaller than the stock STi aero bits. I found that the minute I put that wing back on that I would be challenged to race. I remember one kid revving at the light and giving me a stare. In his Oldsmobile Alero. A fucking Alero challenging me to a race. Granted, I was in Surrey.....

Anyway, I get what you're saying. I had one of the mom's at my kid's school call my STi, juvenile. But what are you going to do. It's the price you pay for driving a car that catches people's attention. Racecars attract a certain type of person. Plus thanks to F&TF, they're a rolling challenge to many.
