This was actually my plan, but to tell you the truth, the wing is starting to grow on me.

The wings okay with me...I think. I think the car would lose it's balance in design if the wing's removed. However, the taillights have to go, no if's and no but's.
Personally, I think most of the attention are positive. Although some might be negative. Anyhow, I got a couple or so salesperson eyeing my EVO at the same dealership where I got it from when I went back to buy oil filters a couple of weeks ago.

Same thing happened to me when I pulled into a 
dealership in my STi . All the mechanics and sales people came out and checked it out. Wanted to know how much I payed etc. I told them msrp and they said they were selling their evo's for 5k markup still lol .
It was a fun little detour.

The Evo's a great enthusiast car but not everyones' an enthusiast. Heck, even a lot of car enthusiast think the Evo is uglier than crap. I can see why they feel this way...a lot of the asthetics on the car is overly exaggerated. Heck, throw on some decals and I'll guarantee your average commuter will think the Evo is no different than the "riced" out car next to him.
I know the Evo turns a lot of heads but how many of them actually admire the car remains suspect. I really have my heart set on two cars (STi or Evo) but I'm not too fond of exterior designs. A few years back I thought they were the most goddy looking cars w/ great performance, and had all the desire in the world to get one. Now, they just look goddy.
But you can't find a car out there with the pricetag to match all the performance these cars offer. Maybe if they had something out there that was more subdued looking with the same performance (i.e. turboed motor, AWD, etc.). 
Anyways, I look at it like hell I won't see the exterior of the car while I'm driving.

But all poking aside, it's easy to tell people love the evo cause they come up to you and tell you..... I even had a 60 year old lady and her husband come over to tell me how beautiful sunshine is
But I swear if one more riced out tools tries to race me in his stickered up fartcan havin automatic transmissioned inherited this pos from my crack ***** sister tries to race me...
Ohh yeah... I had a couple of teens try to get in my car a few days after I bought it, gone back to the dealer to pick up my other car... they must have thought it was the dealers... till I clicked the alarm that is
