IMO wingless Evos only look good when they are lowered.

alot of people have good points here but here... I am also in my 30s and I am really considering taking the wing off. I will however pic up the Rexpeed wing... the smaller one that fits over the OEM holes and still lets you swap back if you want. I don't like the completely wingless look either.

One thing I have to say though is that if you go wingless you have to lower the car.... otherwise it looks funny.... my 2 cents

If you track the car and take sweeping turns at over 70-80mph range it will definitely be a bit more light in the tail end of the car. Where it would really be missed is driving at higher speeds on a banked oval or something. For regular street driving I think it's more just cosmetic but everyone is welcome to their opinions.

I was even considering raising the SSS wing about 1-2" to get into cleaner air off the roof and also angling it forward for a sharper angle of attack and greater downforce with the drawback of increased drag. Since the wing is at a zero angle of attack right now the MPG and drag hit is minimal but that means the downforce isn't huge either.

It's usually the other way around. It's the younger folks who worry about looking juvenile. Witness the "Am I too old for an Evo" thread.

The Evo X definitely looks better with the wing on - it's not as ridiculous as previous versions. On the Evo 9 and below, the RS actually looks better while still being clearly different than regular Lancers, without a wing.
