Spoiler Question
Rice, define rice...last i checked all of our cars are made over by the rice patties. all of the cars are rice, to single out a part and say its rice is dumb when your talking about a jap car from the start.
If you decide to make your stallion look like a gelding, not to worry. The wings sell for a good price, enough to pay for a body shop to redo a trunk lid. I asked the dealer to remove the wing and reduce the price on the car. In the end, I was given $500 off and told I could keep the wing. Since then, I have learned to live with the "boy racer" image the wing imparts. Looking around, there are lots of interesting wings (and probably usless) on trucks, retro personal transport cruisers, and others. These are wanna bee's while the Evo is a world class speeder.
For those who are too young to remember, BMW's 1973 CSL used a wing very similar in size to Evo's. No one laughed at the "batmoblie" as it dominated it's class on the track (only Ford could compete with it). Like the CSL, Evo backs up the statement it's looks make.

Well.. thanks for the pic.
Th car looks much cleaner and more adult with the spoiler on it.
The wing certainly looks to gaudy for me on a car thats got such sexy lines to it. Im not into the Fast and Furious look, it doesnt provide any function on the street or at most autocross tracks. Youd only get the d-force from some real long straightaways.

btw...would you say a GT3 is rice because of that U shape spoiler? what about a Supra...it's wings is almost taller than the roof line

Some of the agruments for the high wing kill me.
You are not going to see a radical difference in high speed handling between the two wings. Period! I could drive my car with no wing at a high speed and the car will still handle well.
The EVO high wing is there to invoke the look of rally racing. The wing on a Monte Carlo invokes a nascar look. If I like formula 1 racing, should I change my EVO to be an open cockpit car?
I have both wings. The small wing had the center foot removed. I can swap wings at will. I don't feel a difference in high speed handling. What difference I do see is how police and young kids react to the car. The wing makes a big difference in how the car is viewed. I personally like it a bit more stealthy, so I usually use the small wing.
I should bolt the small wing to the big wing and have the ultimate double rear wing!!!!!

the cf wing makes the evo look like a Subaru. the gt spoiler is pure mitsubishi evo. look at the wicker, thats the evo 1-6 look right there. if you don't know what a wicker is then you should refrain from disclosing your ignorance.
