I drive a red EVO with a wing and let me be another one to say that it does draw attention. The first week I bought it I was pulled over twice for bull**** reasons...no tickets thankfully, but pulled over nonetheless.

My car was also broken into recently, most likely a smash and grab from some punks roaming the streets. Thinking about removing my wing for a more low profile look, plus the carbon fiber is sun damaged

So yeah like most people are saying if you want the attention, go with the wing. want a low profile beastly car, go wingless

totally agree. when i had my wing, cops and ricers followed me all the time and i was pulled over 2x for random crap. the moment, i took the wing off and debadge her, people just thought it was a regular lancer.

Not to jinx myself but I have a RR evo 8 and had it since may and have the stock wing carbon trunk and hood with a huge AMS intercooler and haven't been pulled over once... Yet I've been followed and even got a couple waves but no messed with and just for the record I also have a red 95 eclipse gst with no wing and not nearly as loud and I can't even say how much I was pulled over for no reason lol but not to be off topic I choose wing

I really like the way the evo wing looks with the center bar and inside of it painted a different color than the body. Check out some black Tommi Makinen Evo's, White wing on a black car. Someone do that to their VIII or IX so i can see how it looks....haha.
All that said, I ride with the wing. Too bad we cant wiggle it up and down like the old 3000gt vr4's. That was fun.

I have a GG 06 GSR, I'm definitely keeping the wing, where previously I had the STI which I de-winged and I regret it afterwords. I say keep the wing!

i recently went wingless for a more subtle look, dont know if it worked or not though as no one in AUS really goes wingless so i might even stand out a bit more now . tbh only from the back you might mistake it for a lancer, from the front or sides you can still clearly tell its an evo cos of the more aggressive lines. ive just ordered the rexpeed type c spoiler now though, i couldnt stand the holes just being plugged vinyl'd , and i didnt wanna fill the trunk as i know i will want to go back to the oem wing maybe in a few months

I love the look of the wing. I feel like to go wingless your car really needs to stand out whether it be with wheels, carbon trunk, etc. I don't think ill ever go wingless.
