Winged or Wingless???

I desperately want an EVO.. I just can't decide if I want the wing or not. Post some pics of your wingless EVO's. (Wingless, not the little lancer wing) Thanks in advance.

U cannt get it wingless cause i have tried when i bought mine. u either get the cf wing or the low profile one. You can swap it with a lancer es trunk or just get a cf trunk.

i have the low profile wing.. and i like it.
My only advice to you is to spend some time looking at the actual cars, not a pic. One with the big boy, and one with the low pro. We can shoot off all day what we like about the wings, but in the end it's personal preference.

Here is my black evo VIII with the short wing; so you can get an idea how it looks.

Hopefully this pic will work <crossed-fingers>

I removed my wing to improve rearward vision and to reduce the amount of unwanted attenion from ricers, thieves, and law enforcement.

I agonized over this as well. The one I ended up getting has the big wing and I'm pretty happy with it. It takes some getting used to, but I think the car doesn't look right without it now.

It will attract cops, so make sure none are around when you do something stupid

Overall, though, I like the way the lines and the stance with the big wing. Pictures made it look ricey, in person, it looks like it belongs.

That being said, the small wing looks good on some colors. No wing is cool too, if you're into the "sleeper" look.

You can't really go wrong -- this car is not about how it looks, it's about the giant grin you get with every turn, stop, and start.

good luck,
a

Wing vs no wing really depends on what you plan on doing with the car. If you're not planning to auto-x it or do high-speed runs with it, then I'd say no wing. Otherwise ... definitely get it. I've got it on mine and according to the butt-dyno it definitely makes a difference once you hit triple digit speeds....

The EVO looks 100 times better with no wing. This has already been discussed a million times.

Pro's: Can add down force at high speeds. Can add resale value to vehicle.

Con's: Adds drag. Adds weight. Adds cost to vehicle purchase. Attracts cops. Attracts thieves. Looks immature (ricey). Creates blind spot/obstruction in rear view mirror.

Just say NO.

Is the wing bolted to the trunk or is it an easy removal? I personally can't stand the wing. Its going to be the first thing to go on my Evo
