The things that get you pulled over are speeding, tint, loud exhaust and maybe modified lights. I think the wing is at the bottom of the list. It creates some attention but it is not the reason. You need a good radar detector, V1/Escort/Bel and pick your roads carefully and know the locals and their favorite spots. Being middle aged as some say will not get you out of a ticket. I know this from personal experience. I would have a perfect driving record if it weren't for the cops. :-). 27 years and not one accident but lots of speeding tickets.

knock on wood but i think that cops do stereotype but really i drive by cops all the time full ground effects kit, original wing on, rims, some stickers. don't really get a second look. i think part of it is when you look at cops, they pay attention to you. I ignore cops and drive normally when i see them. ^^

I love my evo more than any other car I have ever driven but as only being 19 and not having a great income the evo is killing me right now :/. I'm not sure if its only my car or all evo's but its terrible on gas. The best I got out of a tank was about 230 but more than half of it was highway driving 5th gear low rpms. Insurance wasn't as bad as I expected only 150 a month I could deal with that but the cop attention is terrible. I got pulled over 5 times in a week for nothing. I got pulled over 3 times in one day last week thank god no tickets but it seems like I get pulled over just for the car itself. I'm not sure what to do but with me putting on over 300miles every weekend and about 50 miles a day going to college and back. Its killing me just thinking about letting my dream car go :/
