i will be doing this once i find an evo to buy. imo, a wingless evo looks nowhere as naked as a wingless sti. but a wingless evo with stock suspension looks kinda funky. reminds me of bobbleheads ?

I was talking to a friend tonight about removing the wing on my EVO. She said, "don't do it, it will look lame"...lol. Still debating...no further hassles from the police since last week, so it's not so primary on my mind.

I would say from my experience that removing the wing helps bring less attention from cops mainly, but not from other people who just want to act a fool on the streets. Then again, without the wing there are other mods that are done that can easily bring the attention back. Like colorful wheels, exhaust, bov, etc.
I took my wing off because I wanted to try something different and the rexpeed cf spoiler. Not cause it was ricey, or cause I needed to grow up or whatever. I think the stock wing looks good with the body lines of the car.

I will be removing my wing the second it gets back from tuning!!! I keep getting pulled over by a@#hole cops. I rarely speed and I'm just tired of the hassle. On another note... the wing is what MAKES the Evo stand out, so I cant say it will stay off for too long!!!

Next mods should be a perrin shorty and repaint the Brembos. It'll look extra sharp
