No some of the 03s came with the smaller wing FYI...

That's a pretty good buy and its awesome that the last owner has every single receipts.

I read on here awhile ago that some of the 03 evos did come with the smaller wings. I'm not sure if it was option to have it put on or it just came like that

^^ beat me to it

I've seen only a very few evos with the short wing and I don't particularly like it. Many got them so the car did not attract too much attention. I would go winless or a rexpeed Type C.

Nice find.

congrats on the purchase ! it was an option back in 03 to get either the big evo wing or the short wing. i believe there was no extra cost involved either. i believe alota the buyers from back then werent happy with the large wing so many dealerships gave the option for it

in 03 you had an option between the high rise spoiler or the low rise spoiler (like the lancer one), the car looks good and for 12k its a rally good price especially from a dealer

Well happy to report that he is very happy with the car! First thing on the agenda is an oil change, and new spark plugs, which should take place today.
