Wingless
I took my wing off to draw less attention...for the record I had an RS trunk so it was legit (no holes)
tickets with wing - 2 (in six months)
tickets without wing - 0 (3-1/2 years)
my ix was loud as all hell and thanks to it's low key appearance I was never bothered
I don't even run a front plate on the car (requirement in jersey)
.....
my x currently has a wing but I have a stock exhaust and same result...no attention
my theory was always exhaust or wing...both never both

Ive been debating taking the wing off. Doesnt the thing weigh about 40 pounds net?
I dont think I even go above 85 mph ever, but enjoy the perks of being lightweight.
It never crossed my mind to go wingless on my VIII. A car with such angles needs an edgy spoiler to keep the back end as agressive as the front. I have thought about going wingless on my X tho since its more refined/rounded.
3. The wing is COOL - especially for us Evo 8 owners! Seriously, a full carbon fiber wing that survives some of the most ridiculous wrecks we hope to never see! Incredible! Carbon fiber weave is gorgeous, lightweight and a lot of folks spend a fortune adding CF parts to their cars. Enough said.

Even in a high speed course I doubt you would need the downforce more then you would doing drag at a much higher speed, considering your gonan break before the corner anyways which will cause enough lift to negate any generated at speed if there was any left after slowing for the corner. Maybe you are talking about road racing...
i got a yellow 8 and i love my wing had a garbage full carbon wing i hated when i bought it. Went wingless and backend just looks dumb its to small and tall just doesnt look right with no wing when your looking at it straight from the back. Then got a buddys yellow evo 8 stock wing restored it and bam i was in love it looks so much better and does make a difference. Downforce really helps keep my snow tires in check when im on the highway without it its so wobbly all the time its annoying without the wing at higher speeds

i dont run the front plate either, but cops in my town know me by first name so they dont even bother with the plate anymore, now i just get loud exhaust or tints
