Where can I get a Vortex Generator?

I did a search on this site for the info, If I missed it put up the link and close this, I have looked on RRM's site, on Accolade's site and on streetconcept.com and could not find one listed, I called the dealer and they want 260 bucks. I am not going to pay for that. Any info would be great.

Here's one for 230. Not much better. Go to the list of registered vendors and browse their website. Maybe you can find a better deal

Check in the Evo classifieds, a few vendors have them listed in there.

This is the best price I've found on the OEM one. Works out to about $200 shipped. I've seen cheaper on Ebay, but they are not OEM and some folks here have found fitment issues.

Do they actually improve an RA's handling or anything though?

Good question, I would assume very little. Anyone have any input on this subject? Looking to get one myself.

Functional, yes. Noticeable? Probably not much.

I get all the oem stuff I can (guage cluster surround, aluminum pedals, etc.) from mistubishiparts.net... I can't say enough good things about 'em... I'd look there for the OEM parts...

Here's a link

The vortex generator will not improve your car's handling. they are supposed to work in conjunction with the evo's large rear spoiler at top speeds. They look sweet though.
