Im considering buying it but I'm not sure yet, since it's $160 it seems too good to be true.

Being that it's only plastic, I imagine that it's going to shake in the wind pretty bad.

the one i got installed when i bought my RA is kinda flimsy, thats because its actualy only held on by 2 small screws that go into the trunk. the reason for this is because its bassicaly a fake evo spoiler, mine was $800, the tech said the actual evo spoiler is like 5g's or something. i dont know if thats true or not. looks great though

800 for a spoiler.................. the car comes with one that looks decent, the evo spoiler is overkill imo

If you just installed it useing the screws its goina be flemsy. Your suppose to use 3m double sidded tape under it also. Those together is all that holds the real wings on the Evo!

3m touble sided tape isnt gonna make arent gonna make the fibre glass and plastic fake evo wings stiffer. they are flimsy because of the material. the center section is so long, and to be made out of plastic, i can barly suport its own weight. if you come to terms with it, its not a big deal. I think the evo wing is more to the tune of 1800 dollars IIRC. im happy having only payed 150 + paint for mine, a little shaking is no big deal. I would imagine if you had a three bolt setup on each of the vertical parts mounting it to the trunk instead of the two inline bolts, that might stiffen it up a little. you know what i mean, a triangle mounting pattern instead of the two bolts inline with eachother for some extra support, but the side peices just arent wide enough to pull that off.
