Lightbulb

since no one has used the actual term for the "part"/"mod"...its called a "wickerbill" and i believe if not mistaken its a part to create even more downforce & works in unision with the vortex generators and of course the cf wing. its all a package deal on the MR-trim level & an option on all other Evos as titled, "zero-lift package."

taken from www.MitsuCars.com:

"Aluminum roof*, hood and fender panels save weight and lower the Lancer Evolution's center of gravity. A twin-scroll turbocharger virtually eliminates turbo lag. A Vortex Generator* tunes and directs air onto the rear spoiler's new wickerbill* to generate maximum downforce at speed."

and also....

"This rear spoiler wicker bill adds a touch more downforce when you want and need it."

and finally...

"it is priced on the website as Rear Spoiler Extension $ 90"

hopefully this will end the confusion and guessing.

Hmm I never noticed that on any Evo IX, wonder how much it really affects anything. Looks to be a waste IMO.

Depending on what part of the world you are from, or what background in motorsports you have, this device is either known as a "wickerbill" or a "Gurney flap".
