My supervisor told me that "Did you know that you don't need a wing for a FWD car?" I was like, uh... mine is an AWD. I hated when people comes up to me and start talking to me about the car that they don't even know anything about. buddy

The only thing that I'll think is Rice is, If you slap an MR sign on your non MR car. So what if you have an MR bbs wheel or black out head lights. Only matters if you slap that MR on there. Beside if you do slap that on, who knows if your car is an MR or not. From the outside appearance it just look the same, if you added the VG and the BBS wheel on it. If someone ask, say yea it's a half-*** MR.

just do what you want with your car. the whole point of tuning your car is to make it better and more fun for you to drive. don't worry about what everyone else thinks cause you're the one who has to live with whatever you do(at least till you sell it!

Getting? LOL. I looked down on blatant rice a long time BEFORE I had my EVO.

Here's how the VG could be rice:

Put the VG on when you don't have a wing. The VG requires a wing for it to be functional, right?

Some people say yes, some say no.

I just know that they come stock on 2005 RS Evos. So to me, that means "wing not required."

Yeah but mitsubishi has done things that don't really make sense... Like the whole lets make a fast car but discourage people from racing it.
