Im pretty sure that the one for the IX wont fit. The FQ across the pond has a vortex generator on it so Im sure it will be available pretty soon for the X.

Yep, since they are on the FQ's in the UK, I am sure they will make their way over here.

I will be looking for one too!

I think a VG on the X will look sick. Count me in on one when they come to the states for sure.

Not that the VG won't improve down force, but with the new design of the X and the smooth lines on the roof, you don't need it. This is also why Mitsu was able to shorter wing as well.

Personally, I like the hedgehog look though

VG = Vortex Generator

It's the shark fins that are on the back of the Evo VIII's and IX's. As seen here;

Gumbo. Measure how wide your antenna base is for us. We have SSS over here and our antenna base looks different than yours. So not sure if yours would even fit ours.
