I have not noticed any change with my rear wing removed. I did pick up 2 seconds at the road race track with no other changes besided being less sucky of a driver.

I love not getting all the attention I was getting with the wing. Dont get me wrong I love evos with and with out a wing. But after getting mine removed and a small lip put on it made all the difference to me in the world. Looks less boy racer, and more tame....

cops are pretty cool here, the only time I've gotten pulled over was the first week I had the evo, after that no looks at from them due to me not doin something stupid, I'm also red and winged lol

I remember coming home on the highway doin 90mph and two sheriffs sped up to me took a quick glance and took off, weird night, I thought for sure I was gettin a ticket

Maybe it's just where I live, but I can't believe how many of you are basically saying you're being harrassed because you have a wing on your EVO.

If you don't drive like a moron and keep to yourself, there should be no reason for Johnny Law, or any other person for that matter, to give you a second look. Besides, many other cars came with OEM spoilers, not just EVO's.

I didn't pay $30K + for a car only to leave gaping holes in the trunk after removing the wing to attract less attention.

Yeah I think the EVo looks like a neutered dog without the wing....like something is supposed to be there but someone cleaved it....looks too tame.

I've never been pulled over in my evo and I'm always doing 80- 90mph everywhere. I have my wing, 3" TBE, cams, bigger FMIC, no front license plate, tinted windows, etc... and I'm latino in SoCal...lol

Leave it!

Whether you have a wing or not, your driving style will get the attention of the Police?

The clocks ticking my friend. If you're really doing 80-90 you'll be pulled over within the next week or so. Never seen so many CHP on SoCal freeways in my life just until recently.

Yeah man you're getting lucky. I have friends getting pulled over around here for doing 73 in a 65. They are out revenue collecting like no other. I've literally spotted half a dozen cops giving speeding citations over a 10 miles stretch of the 5 freeway.

Loud Evo with a big *** wing = instant profiling ticket.

Goodluck and drive safe man.

I put on an evo spoiler on my OZ and I haven't noticed any extra attention other than my friends being able to recoginize my lancer among some of the normal ones.

IMO - The wing and the vortex generator finish out the back end of the evo. Period.
