fyi, it wont look like the picture included, that wont include the carbon strip, and Im not sure if that is the one accolade makes. However I believe that Accolade makes them in FRP, form of fibreglass. I think RRM makes them in ABS plastic, which supposedly shakes badly at higher speeds(not confirmed by me).

In the end, you only get what you pay for.

Hmm... I'm thinking about getting an Evo 8 spoiler to mod the tiny stock spoiler I have now... who knows? Whoever wants dibs on it, I'll post the sale for it soon. I don't know how soon, but we'll see. *grin* (The color is phoenix red, and I've driven around with it since 4/29/06, so it's still virtually brand new... hopefully, the removal process won't damage it)

If anyone can direct me to an already phoenix red evo 8 spoiler (which I sorta doubt), I will be very giddy and grateful. Meh, I'm being lazy--it's almost 2 a.m. from where I am. In any case, I plan on getting it from the dealer.

Since the spoiler's cheaper than the turbo, I'm going for all looks right now. Ah, yes, but the day when I stop getting mad at 350 Z's? Mmm... turbo.

I say don't do it cuz you'll get the shaky after effects...Hecka looks stupid when u see your wing hella flimzy or shakin' while drivin' at high speeds and it also looks bent after a while..trust me...I was one of the first to put that crap on...I'm prolly goin' for the CF stock lookin' spoiler from RRM...cuz the EVO spoiler is too expensive..feel me!!!

the shaking is BS, i had an abs one and didnt shake a bit. i just got a new one and its the same. maybe they didnt install it tight enough, cuz i never had a problem.

Seriously though, why the hell do guys with lancers buy evo wings? I just don't understand it. I had a lancer and not once had the urge to buy an evo wing. Why?! It's just stupid
