I don't get it, people bash rice all the time, yet when a carmaker gives us a car riced out from the factory, it's OK? Rice is rice, and Subaru riced out the WRX to hell. There is no way that wing and hood scoop are needed to achieve the performance it gets. Sure it has some grunt behind the fugly, with a 300hp engine, but it's still riced out. It's like pointing at a riced out civic, making fun of it ... and then saying OH, it looks AWESOME because it has a 200-300hp engine (if they did some mods or new engine or whatever). Stupid. ugly is ugly, rice is rice.

Now, gimme a nice Legacy GT or RS with a nice set of wheels and simple nice black paint.. oh yeah :cool:

scoops = can look cool but Subaru is really overdoing em now (I hope it's at least functional)
wings = absolutely ridiculous on 99% of cars especially for any car intended for daily-driver use (definitely NOT functional for daily-driving)

you mean like mitsubishi?

that wing is okay, that hood scoop is hideous

The scoop is a necessity. Its a 4 cyclinder engine producing the power of an 8 cylinder engine. Think they might want a little extra air flow?

you can make it look a little better than that y'know

words cannot describe how ugly that thing is

you can run that thing with no hood for extra flow, doesn't mean it's a good freaking idea!

Uhhhh, okay.
