STi Wing color difference

['Buru in the Burgh]

Ah thanks for the correction, they looks very similar.

Just an off the wall question, has nothing to do with this thread, but why are the 05-07 STi wings two different colors. At least on the silver...

That's a picture of my buddie's STi, see how the bottom part of the wing (the base) is like an off-gray color, and the top part of the wing is like pure silver. I've always wondered that, all of the STi's I've seen around here are like that.

Both of the '05 STIs I had had the same color for both top and bottom parts....

Also, the second pic you posted is just optional factory parts....

Haha ok, but why does his '06 have two different colors?

[Yamazaki]

Absolutely no idea.... Inattentive factory workers maybe.... :lol:
