I highly doubt it would ever be floppier than the 04-05 STi wing. The STi wing was 1-piece, all plastic. The three part consrtuction of the EVO wing won't let it flop like the STi's did, even if the EVO wing was all plastic like the 04-05 STi.

The 06 STi has a three-part contruction doesn't it?

It's because only the deck on the 9 is Carbon fiber, The sides are ABS Plastic.

The 8's spoiler is completely carbon fiber.
Not entirely. Only the inside area of the sides are carbon fiber.

Awesome! Another advantage the Evo 8 has over the 9. I don't feel as jealous anymore. The thought of "I should have waited" is beginning to diminish.

Nope. The entire thing is carbon fiber. Couple of people have sanded them down to find out. Search on here and you'll find the threads.

Just to set this straight so people will understand because some people OBVIOUSLY don't get it.

EVO 8: Wing is completely carbon fiber, only thing that is not carbon fiber is the bolts.

EVO 9: Only the deck is Carbon fiber, the Sides Inside and out, are made out of ABS plastic.

Isn't the 8's wing carbon fiber reinforced plastic?
