Granted when he finds a real one he'll get a pretty good reality check...just my .02 So next time you get offended by people saying "looks like an Evo," it's probably because at night it just might "look like an Evo."
Unless you have an Evo or are in the scene and are familiar with them, you just look for the wing, because the basic shape is already there. I personally look at the wing first, hood second, license plate location third, and if i can see an intercooler or red Brembo's.
I guess the only way for me to pay respect to the REAL Evo's is to install RRM's turbo!!! That should happen this summer!
Herez the side by side:

I thought we had the same doors, but you can see in the picz that the lines on he back doors are a little different. I can't tell that about the fronts.

I got my wing in today, it came into my dealership. Gonna get it painted tomorrow. I have a yellow RA so I was thinking, painting the sides of the wing yellow then the actual deck part of it a flat black since its just fibreglass. Should I do that or just paint the entire thing yellow? Thoughts?

yeah thats the method i did, and they shipped one similar to the rrm one although they said it was "original mitsubishi" part which was all just fibreglass. The spoiler they brought in for me is evo VIII styling but everything about this one seems a tiny bit thicket. Like you know in the pics where you can see 4 bolts. Mine doesnt have that its all smoothed out and rounder. Also the deck piece of the spoiler is much thicker so hopefully no vibrations. Its getting painted right now and it goes on tues. I also have to buy a new third break light. But Ill get some pics up when I get it on asap.

Looks good, thanks for the pics. Looks like I might be swapping an evo owner wing for wing. He wants the more subtle wing, and I want the OEM Evo wing.
I'm also glad to find out that it is a factory bolt on. That makes things easier.
