I want to remove my wing but there's rust where the the trunk and wing connect. Hopefully, I can fine a salvaged yellow wingless trunk or grab a CF trunk and paint it yellow.

I've noticed a lot of guys who live in the middle of no where spouting these comments like "Why would a cop care about the wing to pull you over? I've never been bothered" Well buddy you live in the middle of no where.
Artard, I live right outside of chicago. I cruise Chicago All the time. I was born and raised in Chicago.
I never get pulled over unless; I am speeding and or driving like a jack ***. Enjoy your rampant CARB laws and consistentley getting your wee wee smacked for modding your ride.

I'll kick here in the midwest, ahhhhhhh.

yes APR GTC wings FTW. Im rocking a a riser gtc as well. When i was waiting for mine to come in i really could not stand my evo. I think wingless evos are just ugly and the car just does not look tastiful with out a wing. now i will admit something when i had the oem wing on visiablely out the back window at times was rough wing sat to low but now with the apr wing its perfect the middle is raised and i dont have to deal with that cheap sunburnt carbon fiber of oem
