Does anyone want to buy a primed evo 8 spoiler or know anyone who does. I have an extra, no carbon fiber, just straight paint. best price plus shipping!

kinda OT^ if u put that on your 04 u will really get "is that an evo?" lol. i have the same color with eyelids and thats all i ever get. kinda funny though to see how retarded people can be when it comes to knowing about cars. maybe one day i will say yes it is an evo. lol
I've never had anyone come up to me and mistake my Lancer for an Evo. I guess that's because I don't have anything done to my car really. One guy did come up to me and ask what color it was... people like the Thunder Grey...

I have been asked a few times if it was an Evo... But I also have the Recaro seats and the Evo VIII Steering wheel in my car. I will most likely get it even more so when I install an Evo VIII wing in the near future... Maybe after I get a turbo kit, I will start letting them believe it is one. But for now I say it is the Evo's kid brother. One person even asked if I had it Imported all the way from "China." Ok, this person either was stupid, or was trying to make me mad. I just said, "Nope, Bought it right here in Indiana. Where did you get your Ford Truck, Mexico?" He called me a "rice burner" and drove off. Ok, Right now, my car is 98% stock, how am I a Ricer?

i dont put down lancers for just any reason but ill put down anyone who is a wanna-be.... using an evo steering wheel and seats i dont consider it such since they are good functional pieces that go on the non-evo's with zero problems.... but its so gay when the lancers get the "evo body kit" and get it painted etc etc... then one day wake up and say, hey i coulda bought an evo for that money
same laughable things people do, for example putting badges of a better model on your "base" model...
i basically see the rest of the lancers as a different car then the evo.... 80% of the parts arent even interchangable.... so if i dont laugh at an integra, sentras etc etc why would i laugh at lancers..... long as lancers mod for speed, handling or good looks without going to the ricy side.... i give them a

This one is really bad, the dealership out here where I live almost gave me an EVO oil change. They got confused becuase I have the EVO VII letters on the back, but I thought everyone knew that if all 4 fenders aren't flared that it isn't an EVO. They are really gonna be confused when I get my EVO VII kit on man! LOL!!!! I do wish I had some AWD though and someday I will have some Nice Sparco seats. Recaro is nice, but I love me some Sparco!

haha i get it all the time, mostly from people in hondas. go figure. but i think it's cuz i do have the evo 8 spoiler, and tail lights, even though their custom tinted. but i've seen people in a car and they will say something, and i can read 'evo' off their lips, the rest i dont care about, but i just laugh..
i don't get the evo treatment, but here is a little tid bit. some guy and his girl driving a beat down SHOEburu pulled up next to me in their can and the guy yells out wasup Phantom! i thought it was cute. so i made a right turn instead of making him feel bad for being in a subaru.
