i would have gotten one due to practicality and versatility and performance...i didnt really care what the car looks like. honestly the first time i saw an Evo with a wing i thought that was the most hideous car on the road. but now hideous = aggressiveness

i think the cars look better with the wing, but i took mine off to avoid haters from spotting my car from 5 miles away then wait under a tree at a parking lot so they could throw sh*t/do damage to my car.

it's ****ing unfortunate that the world we live in today is messed up to that degree imo.

 

I agree ^^ the wing does look very aggressive. But i would prefer not to have it (thats why i had a RS) and one of the main reasons is bc of people noticing the car and trying to screw with it. The US isnt the safest place to live..people are crazy!

 

The EVO is no EVO without the wing. The wing has been there since day one (1992).

 

doesnt look bad with out it but....

I also have to like the car (looks) to buy one...and to me the wing gives both the sti and evo that special look

 

Wing or no wing, it is still an Evolution. I'd take it with or without.

 

ALL manufacturers with any type of racing heritage have wings on the competition versions. Doesn't mean they put them on production models.

 

Its an Evo regardless if it has a wing or not.

 

I love those two black wingless evos on page 1! so nice!

 

I hate the wing. As I'm about to trade a wrecked RS on a new Evo, I plan to remove the wing if we purchase a SE instead of another RS.

 

I don't really like the wing so far, but I'm hoping it grows on me after a while. I've been thinking about converting to wingless, but whenever I see a picture it just feels like something is missing.

 

i myself think the wing realy doesmake this car look good, but yea if it came wingless only from the factory. i would have still bought one.

 

+1 gives me some ideas,

 

my 03 is wingless and I love it
NO Wing= Less attention from the cops
I have yet to get pulled over(knock on wood)

Without the wing, you have a lancer. The spoiler came with the car way back when it was a baby. It truely made the car. and thats how everyone knows its an evo..

Screw being a sleeper anyways, i would rather someone know im an evo and not mess with me.

 

Whether the car came with the spoiler or not, I still would've bought the car

Oh and btw, someone earlier said today that wing is not just for looks--um, yes, to a small degree, but it's mostly for looks b/c spoiler does create such small amount of downforce at small speed that its pretty much negligible. That means 99% of us don't even fully utilize the wing.
