It will fit, but you'll have to drill two holes in your trunk.

I have it on my car it fits good, kind of a pain drilling the new holes but its so worth it. I had the knock off also and let me tell you the real one is so much better its thinner and it doesn't bounce all over the place when your driving either. That bothered me so much. 250 thats so cheap, There nomally 1200 or 1800 US or 2000 Canadian For it. Thats an awsome price.

Thats what caught my eye when he said $250, he replaced it with some cusco wing so he just wants to get rid of it. There like $1000 in the states so this is definately a steal.

no need to drill holes in your trunk, a few people lined the wing up to the holes already on the trunk and marked them underneath and drilled the holes on the spoiler. drilling holes in my car just sounds scary

you could do that but i would be a little worried about the strenght being reduced the holes aren't that far apart and there already isn't much there holding the wing on

i don't have an evo wing myself, so i can't confirm if the method i suggested will last, i just read that over at mitsunation.net. a few people have done it and their wings are still on without damage. those wings are not that much bigger/heavier than the stock wing. but, whatever makes you more comfortable.

The site has been bogging under an ever increasing load. Over the next few weeks some new hardware will be showing up and then the site should be good on handling increased traffic for a long while.

I noticed a post saying ony 2 holes? Ah, you'll need 4 total!

And you are right! $250 is good depending on whether the clear as starting cracking yet. If it hasn't, get that recleared!
