You might want to check the ForSale section. I think a few members were selling one.

Chargespeed and Rexpeed have bigger fins while the APR and OEM FQ ones have smaller fins, it really depends on what style you're looking for.

BIGGER is better, i have the larger fins and love it, trust me the small ones dont look good on the X's. They look good on the 8's and 9's.

its not about how big the fins are if you're truly wanting a VG to work properly on this chassis...

the smaller fins on the 8/9 were designed on purpose for their angle and shape (including height) as to help airflow attach to the extreme slant of the rear window.

as long as they disturb the flow over the top , they work.

I purchased the APR VG and the quality is very good and I like the smaller fins.

well not really. if they disturb it by allowing spoiling or allowing sooner separation then you've defeated the whole point of it.

for fitment, the oem vg is the best i've seen (i have one on order) although they are pricey. this unit was designed by Mitsubishi for the Evo X, so i assume the fins are correctly sized vis a vis rear window angle. i expect to receive mine in the next week or two and happy to post pics after it's installed:
