I'm undecided if I like that or not. Almost think it'd be too much for a car with a Vortex diffuser and a rexspeed tpe C + OEM spoiler.

You're pulling some Romeo and Juliet shiet. Just stick with a vortex generator! Don't cross contaminate.

As far as aerodynamics go... this would serve no benefit.

But I don't know what it's called. It's typically a rear window sunshade rather than a spoiler...

isn't that a Subaru thing? I would imagine it would look really weird if you also have a vortex generator

Are your windows tinted? Cause that tends to help. Saw I white 06 Subie today with one of those. Good looking car, but I've never liked the GT look myself. Don't think I'd want to drill holes into the C-pillar either. Vortex on wingless is pure sex IMO. It your car though.

ive been back and forth on a roof spoiler for my car as well. i think this one looks better than the one you posted and does not require any drilling.

So that one basically mounts just like the vortex right? That wouldn't be so bad.

yeah, just adhesive tape. ive seen a couple of evos on here that have it or something similar and it does not look bad. i think it looks best on a car that is wingless.

Im pretty sure that is called a Roof Vane. I worked for my cousins parts company and it was typically more a of a subaru "thing".

true story. The roof vanes and vortex generators serve the same purpose. The 06-07 STi (I believe that was the only years/model.) came with one. While, the Evo's had the shark fins. However it would seem you can get either one for each lol.
I also agree, the sun visor looks better (if at all) without a wing. Personally I would go with some 5% or something.
