Question Evo VIII Spoiler Adjustment

Has anybody tried to adjust the angle of the carbon fiber rear spoiler on their Evo VIII?

I took a look but I dont really see any endcaps on the spoiler,. unless the entire side comes off.

(p. 3-45 to 3-47 of the owner's manual)

Hi,

Can't do it. Looks like the owners manual was finalized, printed and thrown in the glove boxes then they changed the wing design. Oh well.....

I believe those pages are left over from the Evo VII's tail. The directions look exactly like how the VII worked.

I think they shuld've made this wing adjustable as well... it would'e been another great feature.. cos i doubt it cost alot to do it..and it'd jus be something simple but something nice..

I'll bet you could just get the uprights from an EVO VII and use the CF center section if you really feel compelled to have an adjustable wing.

How will you determine which setting to put it in for differing conditions? Under what conditions will you require more or less downforce?

Oh, just for looks you say? Nevermind!
