I bought an Evo VIII spoiler replica from www.autoearth.com, and it's painted and installed, it has been for almost 2 months now. Mine doesn't have carbon fiber on it. It's 100% ABS plastic. It vibrates quite a bit at like 55mph and up! ? It won't fall off or nothing, but i was wondering, if the REAL evo 8 spoiler with the carbon fiber piece at the top doesnt vibrate. ? ANyone know?
\-chris-/

 

nope

 

i have the evoVII wing painted/installed and about the same mph (maybe at like 65) it vibrates a lil bit too, doesnt bother me cuz its solid as a rock on my trunk!

 

Mine is drilled good into my trunk. I mean, it's not going anywhere, but I hate the vibrating. It makes lights[headlights]behind me flash and flicker. Umm, but my guess is that the Carbon fiber is so light that it doesn't vibrate. The ABS plastic is heavier ya know? and the center of the spoiler vibrates..you know..the long piece of the spoiler?

 

wow.........i never notice that on mines.........cuz my wing is very tight and nothing rattles...it could be the person who installed it

 

i dont think its the weight, i think carbon fiber is hella rigid and doesnt flex like plastic.

solid as a rock at 130..

Yeah, but what kind of wings do you have [ budlong] and [youngotti] ?? Do you really think it has to do w/ it being drilled correctly? Cause mine is ...but its just the top part of the plastic that vibrates...im thinking cause it's too heavy.

 

i gotta evo 7 wing.....did u tighten everything??

 

stock CF wing

 

Yeah- everything is tightened...to the best of my knowledge!

jus a lil bit! goin nowhere!

 

i got a real evo spoiler now. had one for almost 2 years

 

It vibrates because on our OEM Evo 8 wings there is that rubber gunk that goen under neath the mounting poins which works as an adhesive and absorbs the vibration

 

"rubber gunk" aka adhesive...

 

yeah...
