I don't know about you guys, but If I can pay such money for 2 piece of plastic without a 2nd thoughts, I highly doubt I'll be driving or even considering a budget sport sedan like the evo.
Anyway, its just plastic, if they are really effective, be prepare to see replica (for a faction of the price) for them soon.

I think these are made out of a ABS type rubber instead of plastic. I wonder if trimming the edges of the wind guides throw off the aerodynamics much.....

Interestingly, the front lip documentation cautioned that I use the brake cooling guides (to keep brakes cooled properly) and rear gurney flap (to keep front-rear aerodynamics in check) if adding front spoiler. Did not seem like a selling ploy, but a genuine warning. So, I am guessing it makes a difference.
Now, aerodynamics wise - I think the front lip with flap, the rear wing and the gurney flap on wing do make a difference along with underbody air guides. Side skirts don't do squat IMHO and from what I can tell by reading it. I am glad I have the wing and lip with no side skirts. I hate stepping over those running boards...

Speaking of VG's, there is no proof I have seen that the X benefits from a VG, else mitsu would have added it. I think the VG is pure bling blang on the X

I'd hope they are not hard plastic - Debris and stuff could destroy them. That would be a waste of 700 bux!

In other words, a VG would actually hurt performance and cause drag.
