I have always loved the VIII/IX wings. Come on, it's the first carbon fiber wing ever offered on a production vehicle. That's history there and another reason why Evo's are special.

It's a shame the wings offered on the X's are just plain jane lancer wings. Seriously, my car looks like a Lancer gts.

Is there a clearance issue when the trunk is open? I recall the wing on my VIII coming real close to the rear windshield. Also how's the sightline out the rear? I recall the wing being right in my way.

No there are no issues of any kind. And for the wing haters, it's just my way of respecting my older evo brothers The sightline on the stock x wing blocked my view, but the 8 wing is slightly higher, so i can see the cars behind me now.

They are Depo brand. Many body shops i sell to use this brand. Besides, the only difference is the clear turn signals with orange bulbs. The orange corners look terrible and match nothing on the car but the ugly orange reflectors on the head lights. At least the clear signals match the white better. That is why i choose the "ebay" lights.

How much does each wheel weight? My 18" rpf1's look small on my car =(

Also, for the 9 spoiler, does it bolt right up or do you need to drill holes?

I have to admit, the 8/9 wing on the X looks fantastic. I'd rock one for sure.
