If you mean the low black wing, the holes should line up, but the low wing has a center pillar that, if you want to attach it, requires drilling another hole or two. I had a low wing from Spoiler Depot (Google it) but I had them remove the center pillar.

The Lancer Ralliart had a lower wing with no center pillar, I've only seen 2-3 Evo's on here with it though.

It actually came on the Evos OE back in the early run of the 03 models

The optional low wing on the 2003's was a 3-post.

From way back when...

I have zero points on my liscense and my last speeding ticket was in '98. Last cop that pulled me over said that if I had a clean driving record he would just let me off with a warning. I asked him a warning for what? I didn't do anything. LOL He just gave me a **** eating grin and sent me on my way.
OT but isnt not wearing a seat belt a secondary offense? I know it is in florida, but idk about Ohio. Ive not had mine on next to a cop and he looked over and i showed him it was undone, he just rolled down his window and said, "just put it on so i dont have to tail you for 3 miles.". i said ok

i have a red IX rs. no wing. no attention. theres been 3 times that ive been speeding and the cop pulled the other guy over. in fact, i dont even think RICERS know what my car is. i rev my engine(stock exhaust) try to race and they laugh. then they finally go ahead and race, and precede to sh@t their pants.
i do, however, get attention from idiots in suvs tailgating me, but then again, who doesnt?

Evo with Evo wing = Evo

Evo without Evo wing = lancer.

it is as simple as that no matter what excuses you people come up with.

Its like me buying an M3 CSL and tearing out the carbon fiber roof to put in a regular one + sunroof. Then throwing led weights in the trunk. Then changing the tires. It would no longer be special like its supposed to be...I just dont know what to say to everyone defacing their cars like this.

Almost 36 and have never had a problem, and yes I am a Sales professional. Anyone who has asked about it I have just told it comes that way from Mitsubishi and give them a ride and the understand why it's there. Of course my Evo is far from stock, but really I dont care what others think as long as it's clean and doesn't have stickers all over it will be fine, Maybe my Evo being Apex Silver also helps it look more less wild and more common.
But really people even if you take the wing off it still has a huge agressive hood with a hole in the hood. Widebody fenders and big Brembo brakes and wide tires, Kinda hard to think is a regular car.

Maybe it's just me what negative attention do you people get. I dont understand what everyone is talking about. Is it people think its a riced out civic if so Fu##'em theyre stupid. You know what your driving. Is it because people all want to race you. Fine let them WANT.... Please let me know if it's other things besides your own feelings of not being accpeted, because it seems the negative attention as I seem to here is people giving a crap what other people think. If it's that Big of a concern to you dont own a RallyCar
