Remove the Wing=Less attention
Can I get some feedback from owners who have removed the rear wing, are you getting less negative attention, i.e., cops and rednecks in trucks etc... I am 49 drive to and from work in a suit, love the EVO, still a newbie, but the unwanted attention it gets from cops and jerks is unbelievable. If you have taken off the wing, have you noticed less attention? I think it kind of looks like another jap econo car without the wing. I do love the look of that big sucker out back though.

Hey.....45 and thinking the same thing......I am not sure if the EVO looks right without the wing.......I have seen the car both ways in person......with or without the wing....its still a beast looking car....the wide tires are a dead give away to the cops.....I was stopped in a parking lot making a call and a cop pulled in and checked me out....geez...gimme a break! I have heard that the wingless EVO's do attract much less attention.

Going wingless will definitely cut down on the eye-catchyness of the car for sure. When I was test driving my wingless black VIII a few years back, I was doing a big pull on the diamond lane...I slowed to about 70mph at the top of the ramp and looked over and realized I was cruising next to a sherrif! He looked over at me, then kept going on his way, no harm no foul.
Wingless is def the way to go for a more stealthy ride. Keeping the tail pipe a bit unpolished helps too, and skipping the 5" JDM-yo muffler tip helps too. I have a buschur 3" TBE with two of their bullet mufflers so the car is not too loud, but still makes awesome power. Quiet helps too

I remove mine from time to time and it is ironic that I only get pulled over with it on. I usually get home from receiving the ticket and remove it immediately. It will typically be put back on within a few weeks. One great thing about taking it off is that it looks like a completely different car and ultimately makes me feel like I just got a new car.

I took the wing off the evo and love it.
I like the look of the evo better with the wing but I think the pros outweigh the cons.
People who know what the evo is still respect it and the people who don't know what the car exactly is just ignore it.
