Ebay Vortex Generator

Anybody seen this up on Ebay?

Sounds too good to be true...I wonder how the quality would be?

Quality=probably all the other generic ones floating around... Ouch, $35 shipping though. It must be coming from Japan or something.

Yeah, its coming from Hong kong I think.

There's a guy in Nova Scotia that has bought and installed one. He says its practically the same as OEM. So, maybe I'll bite. Its WAY cheaper then buying from a dealer.

How much are you willing to trust someone who can't spell Mirage?

Looks OK i guess but Derek888 sells them on here for $110 painted

I know everyone has their own preferance, but IMO the vortex generators are kinda ugly. Is that why ya'll want one? because it "looks good?"

And thats your opinion. Respect the differnce in opinions here please.

YOU may think its a waste of money b/c it doesn't add HP to your car but some people like to have a car that LOOKS good too. Having said that, be considerate of what others thinks "looks good". Ok...thanks, have a nice day.

No need to get all butthurt. My comment wasn't written to knock you guys, I was simply asking a question. If you think the V-gen looks good then good for you. I was just hoping that you weren't gettin it thinking it was gonna make you faster or make the car handle better or anything. Cause if so, don't waste your money. kthxbye

I'm not going to speak for anyone else here, but, I like the way it looks and am very aware that it in no way has any performance benefits UNLESS you have a Evo rear wing (or comparable) and are driving in excess of 100 MPH.

I just think its a cool little detail.

Good then get one. Just make sure your not buying some crappy version of it.

I also like the way it looks and have recently purchased one for my Lancer. Shipping as we speak.
Let us know what you decide.

Remember, it's your car, do what you want to it. What you think looks good is what you should do.
