Looks like we have our answer... Down here in South Florida I have seen an SRT4 and an Accord with Evo wings. Not Look alikes unless they were EXACT replicas. Makes you wonder if they were stolen. And no I'm not making accusations, just speculating.

4 wheels + 4 tires + 1 wing = $10,326 from the stealership...

The Lancer Evolution, a high-performance version with more than twice the horsepower of a standard Lancer sedan, was likely targeted because thieves coveted its rear spoilers and special tires and wheels.

Just saw this Stat. on CNN, well then, rate spike anyone? I personally hope not, but I would not be suprised... Now is the time for an aftermarket alarm? But in the end, if they want it bad enough, they will figure out a way to steal it. So, keep the insurance up to date!
