Makes the car look powerful and cool but yet not ricey because everyone knows it came stock

WING IT! Unless you're going to drag your car.

 

with evo 8 wing.

 

Stock wing makes the best iconic profile. Pus, it's is at just the right height to block bright headlights in the rearview.

 

I am starting to like no wing on my evo 9

 

Have you found that wing yet?

 

stock wing is the best IMO I really like the shape of it and is the best looking factory spoiler I've ever seen. Some people (that I've never met) think it's immature but for me it's quite the opposite, it makes the car more serious since it does also have a lot of purpose. If they call me boy racer, sad on them to think so. I have a list of mods worth more than their shiny new loaner haha..even stock the evo is a serious machine in the racing community so the wing is justified.

Wing or no wing, it's still un-mistakably an evo. unlike Subaru where the base wrx and sti look almost identical it's hard to mistake an evo for a lancer unless you know nothing about cars, in which case who cares.

 

I vote wing


but I have rust under the rear left side of the spoiler.. where from? idfk.

I read about someone else having rust in the same spot. May be time to take the wing off for the first time haha

 

Wing. I did both.

Some time in 2012, I picked up an authentic Do-Luck carbon fiber trunklid, since I liked that lip that it has (at least more than a wingless carbon fiber trunk) and found a deal on a used one that was cheaper and/or less of a pain than every option other than lucking out and finding a wingless Lancer/Evo RS trunk without holes that was already painted graphite grey.

I liked the look -- it was clean and I definitely felt a lot less worried when around law enforcement. I stayed that way for maybe a year, and I remember I decided to put the original trunk back on when I was going to claybar the car for the first time, since I figured I should do every panel. When I put it back on, it just seemed right.

 

I still get caught up with this debate, ive had it both ways and always change my mind. some days i absolutely hate it because of the attention from immature punk kids that it brings to you along with people thinking youre a "boy racer". But then i also have my days where you realize its a purpose built performance car and want it exactly how mitsubishi designed it. The wing is evo history IMO.

 

I personally find the car just looks a bit naked, out of place, without the OEM wing. The dimensions of the Evo has the farthest rear of the vehicle very short, and I find without the wing the car just looks a bit odd. With the wing poking out a bit past the edge of the trunk, I think it looks as it was meant to.

That being said, I have yet to remove my wing and will be doing it soon to experiment with the aesthetics. I like the idea of zero attention being drawn.

 

I prefer wing, but wingless looks awesome too.
Never know when you need a table.

 

where im at and where i travel, ive learned from experience that it doesn't make any difference wing or no wing when it comes to getting noticed/attention wanted or not lol

 

As far as law enforcement goes, it doesn't seem like they care anymore. There are probably easier tickets out there, like speeding, tint, cell phone, etc.

 

Did any one notice any handling differences after taking off the oem wing.
