I don't think it looks all that bad, personally I think the OZ spoiler would look real nice. I'm 36, I've been through the ricer scene and that's probably what I'll look into if/when I get my EVO. Though I did see the EVO in person and the wing does look good.
Hell, the whole car simply looks great

the chip is smaller than the head of a pen.

Nope the two words are seperate.
I went around today and found that a new Lancer trunk is $329.
paint, springs/left and right......labor,,,, well it came out to $894 for a new white trunk lid.
Another guy wanted $400 to weld and repaint the trunk holes.
I went to a fastener place and bought some plugs that fit perfect!!! Only thing is they are black,,,, I need white and I will look for them until I find them. Put a little silicon under the plugs, and BAMMMM.... its done.
And water leakage is not a problem...... the auto repair guy said the trunk has an inside water run off rail for water that might get into the trunk.
Total cost..................93 cents.
Plus I can put on and remove the wing at my liking....if I dont sell it.
Which it is on EBAY as we speak...

Ok I know these are black, but they work perfect. ill keep my eyes out for white ones. This is a great and easy fix. Also i can put the wing on and off when and if I choose. This might be helpful to others that might want to do the same.

The car looks really nice actually, except for the black plastic screws. I think that makes the whole job look cheap and unfinished. I'm sure there are other alternatives.

impressed
well done taking off the wing. its looks really clean. i dunno about the clips though. i would finalize it and get the holes filled and paint the trunk. the car looks bad-*** without that wing though man.
