It looks great. Have you considered giving the tails a darker finish rather than the straight altezza? I think that would look hot, but it's your car. As far as the wheels, Black might look cool, just stay away from the polished lip.

Man, I still just can't get EVO wings on an RA/ES/ etc... They have more hard edges than our wings, which is fine on a hard edged car like an EVO.... RA's just don't have hard lines, they are a softer edged car... I love the VG on your car, but its just looking soo busy out back...

Sorry but Evo wings look awesome. An evo wing sitting on the ground looks cool. And on an RA they look effing sexy. As for hard lines and stuff... the sides of the evo wing are nice and curvy... so wtf? to each their own of course... but smeghead is right and looks great I don't know about black wheels, i thought of that or white on mine for a while, but apparently little chips show up significantly and quickly on black painted... but i dunno thats hearsay
That wing looks like its supposed to be there... 'hard edge/soft edge' omg thats the funniest thing out

As usual haters around. I want to be clear on what i gotta say. Each to their own The truth is Evo parts do look better each lancer/Ra owner doesn`t wanna be an evo wanna be its just some parts are better looking. SO why come down here and start going ehh evo wannabe`s Evry owner here knows what car they have.

Thats just my 2 cent`s.

+1 if you dont like how it looks then just say its not my liking but dont go all out on lancer owners just cause they have a few evo parts to make their ride to their liking

I like the wing and VG but I wouldnt paint the wheels black. Painted stock rollers scream "I want rims but cant afford them!" Just my opinion. Keep the stock rollers as is till you can get some sick aftermarket wheels.
