I personally think the evo is hideous without the wing. But, like someone said earlier, it is all about preference. Don't drive like an idiot and the cops will not mess with you.

This topic has come up a few times and I'm not sure if I commented already. If I haven't:

"Making an Evo wingless is like cutting your cars ***** off". If I did comment already: "Making an Evo wingless is like cutting your cars ***** off"

To me, Evo always has the spoiler on, it just looks/feels wrong without the spoiler.
Also...I often use my spoiler as dining table

I think they look good either way! My wing started peeling on the top so I took it off and it's been off almost a year. I'm getting a carbon trunk for it soon, and will keep the stock wing and trunk incase I ever want to go back

was wingless for 3 months. put wing back on, put a gurney flap on it, NEVER LOOKED BACK.

you got an evo. stop trying to make it look like a lexus is250 or whatever. it just doens't make sense. especially the wing was there designed to work. yes. it was designed to work with the car.



i understand if you have an rsx and the wing there is just for stupid show.
but you have an evo. now that i've been to both sides, i am prejudice against this "trying to be different so i'd go wingless" bandwagon. unless you have an RS. otherwise. no respect for that.

While the wing was designed to work with the car, it's not going to be seriously detrimental to the car without it. Obviously the RS (which you are okay with being wingless) has the same aerodynamics aside from the wing, and that car does just fine, so it's as if going wingless sabotages the car's functionality, especially since it's not as if most Evo drivers are slaughtering road courses on a weekly basis and need that extra downforce.

I've given wingless a shot, and I don't mind it. I miss the wing, but not enough to go out of my way to put it back on. I park outside sometimes, and for whatever reason, people always seemed to do things to my car with the wing, from leaving cans/bottles/cups on it to someone eventually damaging it with their bare hands. I remember once when I lived on the beach, someone even drew a swastika with their fingers on the moisture. But without the wing, so far so good. I enjoy sleeping better at night.
