Default KJ the problem is that the wing never "Ricey." It was always there for a reason which in itself

of course is anti-rice. I personally do not like the change - to be honest as a friend. It has totally changed the look of the car and actually gives pause. If I saw the car, I would assume that it was a Lancer with Evolution body mods, with an intercooler that may/may not be for show, etc... Just my thoughts.

Default I remember the second wing from when I had a Mitsubishi Mirage.

Now lose those taillights!

Default

I never liked the look of the car with the wing removed completely, the OZ looks great on there!

Default Bleh..

It may have been a functional wing for the original use of the car, but it's just ugly and ricey on a street car.

I'd say the same for any wing that large, even a real wind-tunnel tested honest-to-god racing wing off some award winning race car.

Default you're not exactly going to benefit from the stock wing with a street car

if its only driven on the streets, he's not losing any functionality of the car.

Default yes my purpose is stealth

I appreciate you guy's honest opinions. I considered a bunch of things before doing it, but I did want to be incognito... not caring if people thought it was an Evo or not.

Also, the stock CF wing was only functional at 80 MPH +. The OZ wing is not as good of course, but still better than none, besides the butt looks bare without it.

Default Then call it ugly. NOT ricey. By definition, Ricey refers to non-performance mods that are tasteless

If you don't like how the car looks, then do not get it.
