Bought an RS and had Wing Evy so I bought a Trunk with a Wing and drove around for about a month, got pulled over twice for absolutely nothing!! Profiled and defiled!!! So off comes the wing and guess what? No ****, no random pull overs!!! Who says the PoPo don't notice the wing!!

I decided to go wingless because..... it's too flashy with that big wing
The benefits of going wingless are..... not too flashy... more subtle/tame look
Benefit with wing on Evo X .... i heard it functions pretty well by adding 120lbs down force...

anyone know if the do-luck duckbill trunk or even the rexpeed replica wing extension helps with downforce? i hate the obnoxiously big wing also and prefer the cleaner look but dont want to spin out when i start tracking this summer as everyone is saying

The car is only 2 weeks old and I think about this question every day. Do I want to add the high type OEM wing? I like the Lip look, but the car seems to be missing something without the big wing. I don't care about attention from the popo as the car is going to remain stock.

I have 2010 gsr with SSS package.
I didnt like the look of the big wing, I make a lot of trips between dallas and houston, and I got followed by a state trooper one time. he pulled up next to me and looked over and i nodded and he dropped back and pulled someone else over.
After that attention I decided i wanted to go wingless not just for police attention but because I like the cleaner look.
I have the rexpeed duckbill lip as well as the rexpeed vortex generator (i know rice)..but ever since it seems to blend in rather well now.
Regarding downforce, I dont track at all, and the spirited highway driving up to 80mph doesnt feel any worse without the wing.
On a track it will be more noticeable, but i wouldnt know.

Winged or wingless is pretty much a personal opinion. I love the wing. And I didnt buy a MR because they dont have the wing option for the new ones.
I agree it will get you more attention from the cops and ricers alike. I really dont care though. I ignore the ricers and the cops usually just run my plates and then leave me alone.
