The wing is part of the SSS package for the GSR...aero package is different.

I think the wing is standard on the MR.

The SSS pkg is what the tall wing comes in. The aero pkg only affects the front/rear bumpers and side moldings.

Thanks for the clarification guys. I am actually partial to the taller wing., and I'm far from sold on the aero lip and side skirts. They look a little too tacked on and conspicuous.

So, it's good to know I can easily forgo the extra 2k expense for the aero kit. I gotta have the tall wing though, cause that's kind of an Evo trademark as far as I'm concerned.

I think I have an Evo X MR (in white) sometime in my future.....w/o the aero kit. I'll put that 2k into MORE POWER.

the side skirts look a bit ricey, but works for me. Also, they should have added the taller wing to the Aero package... just my opinion tho...

The Aero is ricey, cheap looking and adds height to an already too tall car. Once you lower the car all that plastic will be scraping everything in sight. Don't forget the weight!

^ + 1

I think the car is quite aerodynamic looking to begin with, and the aero package just makes it look tacky. A stock GSR with the SSS package, simply lower it a bit, and it'll look infinitely better than that aero kit.

The Aero package will only look good if the car is lowered w/ some wider wheels/tires.

I have a Garmin, Sony, and Magellan portable and they all are HORRIBLE compared to the Nav in this car.

You are also looking at $2000 for Aero, $2000 for Nav, and $2000 for SSS.

I think I'm gonna go with the SSS package only. I'll add a Navi later.

Yeah, I think they are okay but not great, only because it looks too 'tacked on'... It would look awesome if they made it look more molded in, or made it one piece.
