Yep... needs to go. I can't imagine you go fast enough to need that. The regular OZ/RA spoiler looks perfect for the car.

Welcome!

Just curious though, are those the Ralliart taillights you got there?

Oh yah, like the rims, they look pretty good. Do you have any other mods on your car?

while you are taking off the wing, swap out teh wheels for different ones too and itll look better. frankly its and ES lancer so its nothing impressieve, but that can be changed.

You didn't want to be like all the other Lancers, so you got the ricer aluminum wing so you could be like all the other Civics?

considering the OZ/RA cars dont go fast enough to need a functioning spoiler i dont see your point

"You didn't want to be like all the other Lancers, so you got the ricer aluminum wing so you could be like all the other Civics?"

Is that why you blew more money on a OZ with the exact same engine as my car and yet you cant afford to buy a set of rims n rubber?

Ok people lets keep this civil. I'll address the rims thing though, from a performance point of view, the rims that come with the OZ are good, lightweight and a nice size. The OZ/ES/LS/RA can indeed go fast enough to use the spoiler, it simply helps to keep the rear end planted, a huge wing can actually be detrimental as the increased drag, and, if its actually functioning, the downforce can be too much, causing the front end to pop up slightly.

If you like the spoiler though, keep it, just don't get yourself into a knot over people that disagree with it.

Nice color & rims (rhetorical question: Why don't they offer that color on Ralliarts?) I think the wing's been beaten to death and I've already mentioned my opinion of big/ricey wings on these boards, so I won't go there.

Btw, to those saying he should've stuck with the OZ rims, I don't think it was an OZ. He mentioned a woodgrained dash, and IIRC OZ's come with something different. And performance-wise I'm sure those rims are better than steelies Plus IMO they're pretty good looking...
