How many people who have installed one ( mind you I do have a VG ) actually can feel the effects of it?

As far as the MR, It has an alum roof and different suspension so I wouldnt jump to the conclusion that the VG is the cause there are many other factors.

Come on people, stop trying to catagorize certain parts as rice or not. Lets grow up a little, how can something that is so functional and something that is made from Mitsubishi (and put on their "top of the line" EVO) be RICE? If you don't like it, don't buy it! If you do like it (like myself), enjoy the benefits or work towards getting one yourself.

rice is aesthetics. plan and simple.

vortex generators are functional (argue you it all you want about speeds under 80, but the cars built for track use)

if you threw on bilsteins or bbs rims would you think they were rice cause they are from the mr?
probably not
What are you talking about, everything from toyota (excluding supra) is rice. you have the celica with the gt-s package that comes w/ a huge wing, ground effects, and nothing for power, then you have the scion xA and xB yes they have intakes but still with the show and no go, The only presentable car they have is the tC where an supercharger can be added but the cost might as well buy an used evo VIII or an RS. Toyota = rice straight from the factory, we even had a dealership that had graphics on a couple of the toyota gt-s's had to remove it to sell them lol.

Thats why toyota is the 2nd largest car company in the world , they back their product and mitsu is under the gun and cancels warranties for farting in your car. Dude be real. They cater to what sells.

Last time I checked the factory tails on our EVO's are as RICE as anything out there but I dont you calling out EVO owners with factory tails. Hell the USDM MR has the same gay ALTEEZA Style tail lights.

It creates 38% more down force at 110MPH and 4 pounds more downforce for the CF wing. Basically it is designed to bring air down through the bottom of the wing. When you are on the track you may feel a difference but not driving on highway.
