VIII wings are full carbon fiber. IX's are CF centers and plastic sides. Both are the same size.

THE only diff is that the early model evo 8's have full carbon fiber spoilers, and the 9's have the center peice only carbon. As far as fitment and shape. There is no difference

The flat part of the wing on a 9 is hollowed out or honey combed at least. You can tell if you knock on it with your hand, and then knock on a 8 wing. 8 wing is more solid sounding.

not to mention the insides are carbon on the 8 wing, with 4 dimples?, whereas the IX insides are paint matched - and flat.
the sides are also all CF on the 8 wing, and plastic on the IX.

but the evo VIII wing is the same as evo IX wing...fitment wise...
but composition wise the VIII is made of full cf...if you were to wetsand the paint off your wing you would end up with a full cf wing...mad jdm tyte yo!
