willstephens Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 I just bought a APR rear drag soiler for my 2006 subaru Any tips for installing it, I have never done it before? Thanks Will Its at car domain.com Product #as-105526 brushed aluminum black 55inch wide, 4inch tall, I liked the look of something low profile, and the car is midnight blue. Let me know Thanks Will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fweasel Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 IAny tips for installing it return it. any installation method of that "universal" spoiler on this car is incorrect, IMO. Anyway, you'd likely be the first I've heard of on this site anyway. You're the pioneer and will need to make your own install write-up. ignore him, he'll go away.

Penguin Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I think I can help you out here. 1.) Upon receiving spoiler unpack from shipping container. 2.) Find large garbage can to throw waste into. 3.) Insert spoiler into garbage can. If needs be stomp on it to bend it over in order to fit. 4.) Take empty box and use to store old clothes in, or magazines. Or optionally dispose of box as well in the same manner as the spoiler. 5.) Go into garage and obtain ball peen hammer, or claw hammer. 6.) Hit self in head until urge to rice out your otherwise nice car passes. 7.) Repeat step "6" as needed anytime the urge hits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speeding_gaijin Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 actally, it's a not a bad looking one. i'd have it painted in atlantic blue as well. You should get full body kit installed before installing a rear wing. stock cars with just wings installed look silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusDubya77 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I am sorry, but its ass..I looked it up..it might look good on a cobalt, civic, but a Legacy???? :woowoo:check out the Diamond Gray Metallic Monster!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B4LGT22 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Legacy is suppose to be a sleeper car... why make it so noticeable to cops especially with that wing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speeding_gaijin Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Legacy is suppose to be a sleeper car... why make it so noticeable to cops especially with that wing? and who made up that rule? i guess it works only in country where cops aren't educated enough to distinguish between a legacy and camry. in japan, where legacy is coming from, it's anything but a sleeper. subaru, the drivers, and the after market parts manufacturers never even tried making into a sleeper.

zmarko Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 I seriously, honestly, am praying that this thread is a joke.

zennoodle Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Ummm... hrm... If the the Legacy the OP purchased will be nothing but the sole purpose of drag then I don't see why it would be bad. Otherwise for a daily driver... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea its shockingly amazing how unknown the LGT is in the US, id be willing to bet that 99% of the US population has no clue what it is and couldn't tell you who made it.

wavezz Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Being this is a public forum, I can't express my opinion. Aftermarket wings are just bizarre, I could never get it other than Major D. K. Extension for certain social circles. I've worked on aero-elastic wings for CART and other aero 'bits', previously at Swift Engineering (www.swiftengineering.com) - every case that I'm aware of on a road car under 125mph the drag exceeds the benefit. Even Lambo Countach pre wing was a faster car than post wing. Unique cases, like CART, you need an increase of down thrust at lower speed but want release at higher, because the drag kills fuel you'll lose at the pit. Taylor-able wings is the ticket, but that's for tuning to a course. A small snip of engineering done on wings (I've done three major projgrams) http://pages.sbcglobal.net/john-hamilton/id35.htm Dump the weight, save the $$ and put it under the hood or into other hardware. My 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
