One of the features I like the most about my EVO, its the wing so there's no hell in hell I will be taking that out for no reason. My mother says it decreases visibility but it's not that bad.

The evo looks 10x better with the wing. It seems bare and like you dont even have an evo anymore without it =[

I'd have to go with the wing also. Also about those pics that compare the STi and Evo...does anyone have any air-test pics with the vortex generator?? I think that will help the smoke, in those pics, get smoother streams of downforce in the back. The generator is supposed to be effective over 85 MPH I believe.

I do notice quite a bit of difference when it comes to rear vision. To add insult to injury, the wing seems to obscure the light bars on police cars, making them much harder to spot. Did I mention how much I dislike the wing?
I drive both everyday there is no difference on the highway at all even at 100mph.

I cant wait to take that POS off my car. Im gonna use it for rail slides till it breaks

Maybe something lower profile would be more functional? (Re: finish off the rear, and yet stay out of view enough?)

That's because your rims are ugly... j/k I KEED, I KEED!

I almost bought a black one. I admit to liking it w/out the wing, but I'm an old man :]

In my old SRT-4 that basket handle attracted cops and boy racers in force no matter how easy I drove or how slow I went. My wingless RS is catless, cammed, and loud as all hell. It never gets a second look. Most cops think it's a rental car with aftermarket rims and that's 100% OK with me. A wolf in sheep's clothing is what I wanted. Fast is what the car does, not how it looks...
