Look at the Evo without the BIG wing...

I think it looks much better than that HUGE CF Wing. What you you guys think?

X-HUGE







NORMAL

Hmmm......


I think the wing adds character. I think it looks too much like a normal Lancer (POS) with the smaller wing. The car deserves attention, and the wing just attracts more of it.

Just my opinion.

Dang, Minch, I was gonna say the same thing. :P

Don't get me wrong, it looks okay with the smaller wing, too...but if you're dropping big money on a car that _comes_ with a huge wing you might as well leave it on and enjoy the more aggressive look.

but then again, I suppose I _am_ biased in this regards...

the wing was dope until EVERYONE started copying it and throwing it on every car. I think it looks good, but to most people who think it's just a ricer wing don't know. It's the ricer wing, the one everyone duplicates and throws on everything.

I'd ditch the wing for a sleeper look though

that little wing looks stupid.

MInch was right, it looks like a regular lancer now from the back.

Small wing just doesn't look right, there is a guy on the Evo board actually who picked his car up with the small spoiler and is having the big one installed (decided he didn't like the small spoiler, needs a new trunk as well I think).

The tall spoiler in person is really impressive, very well made and the carbon fiber center section looks awesome.

Only problem I see with the big spoiler is actually preventing it from being ripped off the car by some f*ing A-hole.

I'm waiting on the Blue color.

Looks much better with the Evo VII tails.....the white wheels look like shit on this one though.

Hmmm...I thought I'd like the smaller one but the big one actually does go well with the character of the car. Those clear tails are total.......

I'd like to see someone with the Evo VII tails, wingless, and somehow make the front end less agressive. Then drive it around as a regular Lancer.

Rally cars were never about looking pretty, they are aggressive turbo charged rockets.

I'm getting the Evo based on its performance merits, then looks......I love Rally inspired vehicles.

You forgot one thing, I don't give a flying fuck what normal "peeps" or anyone for that matter thinks about my cars.

Not quite understanding this, the M3 is a tad over $53k (the way I equipped it) and the Viper was $76k.

What am I comparing to them? A $30k Evo?

Not a chance, although I do think the Evo will be more fun to drive than the M3.

the wing is what distinguishes an evolution from a plain lancer. its been like that from the beginning of the evo model. that blue one with the small wing looks hideous. if i had an evo i'd keep the stock wing and IMMEDIATELY change to JDM VII tails and get a new front bumper
