Also do you race it at all? Like track it? If you do then you need the factory wing or a bigger wing that is functional. The wing makes a big difference if you are on the freeway or track other than that it is just for looks. Hay you can see better out of the rear window when its gone

Wings just seem to invite trouble with the popo besides that seemingly every honda ricer lancer es trying to be an evo kid on the planet takes our wings and puts them through the ultimate disgrace by slapping them on rides not even your blind grandfather could appreciate.

Stereo systems so loud they blow chicks clothing right off...
Please, get over it

Don't get me wrong-I love the wing! I do also plan on tracking my Evo later. I will definitely be keeping the wing on the car when it's fixed. It just looks so terrible with all the get coat peeling off. I just figured that I would rather take it off for now until it gets re-cleared.

in that event, take it off brosef. that way you can have the experience of wingless then put it back on.
wingless makes the car look more feminine, if that's what you're trying to accomplish.

Go to pepboys and look in there isle with the all the gromets and stuff. They make these little black plugs that will pop right in the holes and stay there. Thats what I have and haven't had any problems with water leaking in during rain or car wash.
