any help on this? I'm looking for an OEM alternative (cheaper). Found something on Ebay, which looks like a cheap piece of plastic that is "ready to paint", but I don't trust it.

what exactly is a vortex generator some on infor me?

 

An expensive hunk of plastic to make your car look more like an MR.

 

Basically yeah.

It's actually supposed to move the air around your car to help with downforce. On the MR it's supposedly tuned to work with the Evo wing. It really is pretty much for looks on our car because for one downforce on the rear of the car doesn't do much considering we have front wheel drive. It may however help with rear end stability at high speeds (like over 110mph), but the impact is so slight that it's really hard to defend that the vortex generator is nothing more than for looks on a RA.

 

For me, it would be all for looks. I want to make an aesthetic mod to the back end of the car. Debating between adding an EVO 8 spoiler or a vortex generator. Just something to set my car apart a little from the rear-end. Any other ideas anybody?

 

I will admit, it is a cool little chunk of bling, but just too expensive for what it is.

 

I found it for $167.99 plus shipping at mitsubishipartsstore.com

 

actually it just "stabilizes" the airflow over the rear of the car for yes, high speeds.

 

Cerious Performance is actually in the process of making a carbon fiber vortex generator from a stock MR one. Keep you eyes open, shouldn't be too long untill it comes out!

 

Speed Element.com has the vortex generator for 50 before s&H i just ordered mine earlier this week.

 

Rexpeed FTW!!!!! Best quality, best service, best price, IMO.

 

for the really cheap-o's:
