    i thought it was just shaded since the sun wasn't on it, but yeah it could be CF. Press can you enlighten us as to the OEM/non-OEMness of the hood scoop on the Subaru please?

    Taking another look, it might be CF, cause it matches the center of the roof spoiler, which could also be CF.

    The roof spoiler (I think it's actually a downforce generator, kinda like the vortex generators on EVOs) looks OEM, I'm thinking he just painted/wrapped the middle. DAMN I can't remember if they came in black.

    I don't think I've ever seen one of those OEM... sure the hood scoops, wing, and wheels, but never that (of course just because I haven't seen it doesn't mean it's not possibly OEM)

    The roof vane (figured out that's what it was actually called) came out with the 2006 redesign, which also saw some changes to the turbocharger, et cetera. It wasn't on all STI models.

    The scoop is definitely not oem. It has carbon fiber vinyl over it and it's larger than the oem scoop. I told him I don't like it

    HAHA.. owned by a Corolla owner!

    But that's the thing with Subies... they are SUPPOSED to be obnoxious, in both looks and sounds.
    Like I said, you know more about cars than I do. Thanks bro.

    Prodrive... that's the brand I was thinking of. Look at the WRC cars, they have them on it. I like it. But not if it's carbon wrapped.

    That's the first corolla I've seen with a rear lip, but no sideskirts or front lip.
