The other VGs:product review

So i went ahead and got it from...ah EBAY! thats right ebay. for $49!lol. anyways heres my review. finish was good, no scratches or being warped. its not carbon fiber just ABS plastic. fitment could use a lot of work but if you have a heatgun your good. im still working on alignment so excuse it being a little off. anywho the part that didnt fit was the hump towards the back. i had to use a heatgun and a metal roller to contour the shape. so the humps arent prefitted when they were made, its just straight. but everything worked out perfectly. i love the way it sticks out taller then the rest of the VGs. i dont know if ill rock it forever, just wanted to see what $50 would buy me. enjoy the pics.

if I have a heat gun, do you think I can completely flat out the ridges? I have sun roof so no side ridges for me!

pm the link to the VG? thanks

Do you mean having it moved back a little so it touches the back window? There's enough room to move it the way you want it. If I wanted to I can move all the way back but again I'm still working on the alignment part lol.

personally i think it looks good, unless you get FQ400 VG or the APR, all of the other VG fits kinda the same. Craptastic.

Yeah why am I going to pay $150 for a piece of plastic that does the same thing? And don't give me that "you drive an evo" crap. It's An evo on a budget lol

+1 on eBay link! We sunroof people can't even get the fq400 to fit properly if we tried. I prefer 4 fins on each side, but it's pretty much this or nothing. Curse the MR touring roof!

The factory VG's on the IX's fit like crap kinda too. Even the stock ones don't fit that well at the corners.

there's a picture of it on a ww evo x, thats NOT what it looks like. its tough abs plastic and you'll definitely need a heat-gun on a low setting to contour the humps on the side(thats if you have humps). anybody who's confuse or needs intructions can PM me.
