how to remove wing?
Just removed my wing, took about 10 minutes, and looks a HELL of a lot better IMO.. Also way better visibility when driving and a more mature look IMO. You will also get way less attention from cops.

I cannot remove the wing from my 08 GTS. It looks to me very well glued, the fishing line didn't help at all. I'll try again at midday/sunlight.
If you have any other tips/ideas ... please let me know.

Just yank it off,...the wing that is. You are right, it is very well glued so it does not fly off! Give it a good pull,...again, the wing that is and you will be fine. The heat will make it easier, but probably not neccesary.
PS - I learned the hard way with my last Evo and did it right,... I just bought a RS trunk lid, had it shaved, and now I'm flossin it right son! Better yet, I have a spare lid with wing intact in case I want to be gay without getting railed in the a$$.
When I removed my wing on my VIII, there was a large amount of rust under the laft corner of the wing. Mitsubishi covered it, but the shop expereince was a nightmare. It is almost impossible to find a good shop anymore. If you need a good one on the greater D.C. area, let me know.

How to remove wing on 08 Mitsubichi Lancer GTS
Job done 
. Thanks vetboss, and thanks to you all !
As I don't like use brute force, I used some 3D Adhesive Remover (WalMart) in addition to the fishing line and my wife
. To cover the holes I used some clear tape (a thick one), I want to be able to put back the wing if needed. Still I coudn't remove the two black plastic things, any ideas on that ?
The car looks little bit more mature now, IMHO. It will look even better with tinted windows.
