Evo 8 Spoiler blocking vision??

I've been in a few evos but never really payed attention, but what I heard was the Spoiler really blocks peoples vision looking through the back window?
Has anybody else noticed this at all?

If so what have you done?

It doesn't bug me much at all. I have found that at night most of the headlights behind me are blocked by it.

It serves a purpose, as most cars you encounter will end up behind you anyway.

It doesn't really block my vision but it does block the headlights of those idiots with the highbeam on.

I had the evo 7 spoiler on my lancer and it didnt really block my vision... It's just annoying becuase if there is a hot girl or someone driving behind you, the wing blocks out just thier face perfectly lol.. BUT its great cause it also blocks out headlight beams at night.

I agree, the vision sucks especially with tint. For that minute flaw I 'll live

You can still see almost everything behind you, just a small bar that you cant. Move your head and you can look around it. Never had a problem driving, or backing out of anything

blocks my vision, but you learn to look under it or over it. the car itself makes up for it, so i dont complain

I've found that the wing perfectly blocks your back view when your on the highway. You can't really see any cars behind you unless it is pretty close. Some might not mind, but i've found it annoying especially when police can be right on your tail. Oh and once I thought the wing was a car when I checked my blind spot
