If you have dark tint your vision is going to suck no matter what.

I do not think the Evo 8 wing is bad. The Honda Assessory "High" wing on my 99 Si and the Type R wing on my RSX blocked much more than the Evo wing.
The RSX Type R wing blocked headlights, police car light bars......actually made it difficult to see the cop when he pulled me over.....I told him I was not paying attention......that was not a smart thing to say.

If you can't see the cops, shouldn't really be a problem unless you are doing something you shouldn't be doing.

Ya, I was not behaving...At least he did not notice the red switch on the dash, or give me a hard time about the big wing.
If you compare the Evo 8 wing to other Evo wings, it is not that big. It is smaller than the 7 wing, I saw a post over a year ago that had the two wings side by side and the 8 wing was smaller. And, the 8 wing does not have the wicker of the other Evo series wings.
Plus, the Evo is a not a small car, so the wing is in proportion to the car. Now, if you want a big wing, the Surpra Twin Turbo, now that is a big wing.
Back on topic, other than a few things the wing is not really an issue. Plus, the Evo's side mirrors make up for it. They are incredible, and make slicing traffic very easy.......but, I am way off topic.

The wing block the view exactly where the cops cars have their lights I hate that.

OTOH, you get used to the wing back there. For most purposes is not so bad.....
