Vortex Generators, Oem Lips, Spoilers, and Crystal Black Housing Tail-lights

I'm planning on buying a few things for my car pretty soon and I was wondering what are the best brands out there for these products? And if there's an OEM part number for it, does anyone have it? I'd much rather have an OEM part but if it's to exspensive I'll go with an aftermarket part. So I'm looking in buying a Vortex generator. Is there a difference between the 8's and the 9's? And for an Evo spoiler, should I get an OEM one or an aftermarket one? Also for the OEM lip, where can I find one for a Ralliart besides ebay? Does anyone know where I could find one or is anyone selling it? I also am wondering where I could find some Chrystal Black Housing tail-lights for the RA, not the powder black, it's like a shiny black or should I just get a lower model tail-light like an es or something?

I believe Modding should be about your personal taste, if you like it then go with it =)

Vortex Generators - I think aftermarket ones are much much cheap than OEM, unless you can find someone selling theirs. And no Most exterior and interior parts are the same for Evo8s and 9s.

What do you mean by OEM Lip? Like your ralliart right now doesn't have a lip? Or you looking for an aftermarket lip?

Evo Wing - a new oem one is over 1grand. A lot of people are selling theirs on the evo forum. As tons of evo owners like to go wingless.

I don't know what you mean by tail lights, like this?

When the bought the car, the guy who owned it before me got into a little accident, he bumped into another car and the bumber cracked. He replaced it with an ES model bumper without the lip. So my car kinda looks retarded in the front. Is there any particular brand I shoud stay away from for the Vortex Generator?

for vortex generators i'd say you can get it from rexpeed or speedelement for a fair price. i'd stay away from the CF VG because i've heard of fitment issues.

wingless ftw! if you want to see what it looks like check out my S&S page

depo tails are probably what you're looking for unless you plan on blacking out your headlights with tint or something

aftermarket body parts are usually much cheaper than OEM.

Extreme Dimensions makes a plain jane replacement lip, among other things. they have "evo style" wings too, not sure how good they look.

That said, your ES bumper won't have the holes to mount the lip, and i don't know how the ED lip is mounted, i've been thinking of getting one, cause half of mine ripped off after i plowed thew a snowbank, and it's currently glued on. Anyway the main point is that it may be a bit of a project. Like, bumber off, and make sure it looks CLEAN when your done, otherwise it's a waste of money.

Are they Chrystal black? Or is it like matte black? Crystal black is like the the color of a shiny bronzy black.

tinting your tails are illegal pretty much everywhere, but people still do it...
and speed element for the vortex generator.

You'll have to buy evo and do some custom mounting work
