Should be. I think the doors on the Lancer and Evo USDM generations are all the same.

Window Deflector? I never had a problem with windows flying at my car to the point where I needed to deflect them. Or do you mean a Wind Deflector?

lol

Best answer is that you can have the window open but not have air blowing in at 65 mph. A good choice when driving on the highway, driving in the rain, or smoking in your car.

I hate the way wind deflectors look, but sometimes I'd love to have the window down a couple inches in the rain so I didn't have to run the A/C.

and parking your car on a hot sunny day with the windows cracked a little is a lot safer ( i think) with wind deflectors because you cant even tell their open.

Aye theyre nice. My friend has them on his truck. they look good on the truck. But on a car, their hideous.

I'd love um, but I wouldent be able to stand the look of my car when their on.

They do HELP ALOT though on the highway and stuff, I do alot of highway driving to, I'll just suck it up and be a champ though =P

I'd rather have a big *** ricer wing then wind deflectors =P

Reason why i ask is because someone is selling a set (brand new) for 60 CAD to me. Sometimes it's nice to drive partially open window when it's raining.

+1. These reasons are exactly why I have them, and I think they look good too! The way the lancer is designed there is no way your having the window open when it rains, It comes right in. I'm a smoker too, I've not had them, and now that I have them I realy appreciate being able to crack my window whenever I want. Also, like was said, if you crack your windows on a hot day, no one can tell.

If you get them you should really get the Mitsu ones, they clip into window frame and use two sided tape. They are very well made. I have a friend that got some other brand and they were flimsy junk, that just used tape, and they did'nt match the lines of the car, kind of boxy looking. my .02
