My Work-In-Progress, winged or wingless?

Hey everybody, this is my work-in-progress. I'm contemplating whether I want to go wingless or not! Keep in mind i'll probably have a JDM Rear Bumper if I do get rid of the wing. Also I want to lower it, but not until after I go stage 2 [car will be too low to go on the dyno! :P]

Oh and the BNB sticker thing isn't a "racing kreww" or anything it's an inside joke. About 6 scene kids pretending to breakdance, becomes a huge cult in the southbay lol. http://groups.myspace.com/breakdancenotbreakdowns

Right now she has:
-Vishnu Stage 1+
-Vishnu Rear Diffuser
-Advan RG 17x8.5
-JDP Front Lip
-MR Tails

In the future/possibly:
-Vishnu Stage 2?
-Lowering Springs
-JDM EVO8 Rear Bumper
-Blackout headlights [anyone in socal that can do this?]

Keep the wing. The EVO looks awkward without it. The trunk is too low and the roof too high for a balanced look. The wing distracts the eye from that problem.

I've done both. I like wingless, it looks really killer from the back and the side. But it looks unbalanced from the front. But I'm all about the downforce and stability the wing provides. I'm starting to get more and more involved with racing because the Evo is so fun to drive on tracks.

Just buy a carbon rear trunk for wingless time and keep the big wing and trunk for "wing" time.

I have pictures of both in a thread a little ways down.

ON the track. If you like teen age boys and cops, rock the wing on the street.

Your car looks tight, except I hate stickers on street cars.

I took the wing off my silver evo. I like the look much better. The wing is not functional on the street unless your're going over 80 and taking some corners. I like the stealthiness of no wing. Less attention from cops and kids in civics. I also hate the blind spot when looking in the rearview mirror. That's just what I like.
