A little tall for my tastes, but it looks good enough. Since you are the one driving it beauty is in the eye of the beholder right? Are you going to get it color matched?

That looks awesome!
Good job.
u drilled another hole on each side for the install?

I actually had to drill 2 holes as neither one matched up with the holes from the GTS spoiler. Then I patched the old third hold with vinyl.

i like it...not the black, but i do like it

kownbread · « **Reply #5 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:06:10 PM »

I haven't really been able to decide if I like those wings on our cars or not, but I do think that it looks awesome black.

fullmetalpanic · « **Reply #6 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:17:01 PM »

I liked the naked cf look better than painting it so I think its gonna stay the way it is for now.

flylancer01 · « **Reply #7 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:35:54 PM »

i like it bro! i saw another ww at KU with a carbon fiber exo 8/9 spoiler on it. looks so much better in person rather than pics of it.

Zerbla96 · « **Reply #8 on:** July 13, 2011, 09:46:10 PM »

lol i was gonna tell him that. I like it though color matched is more of my thing. but CF is nice too!

flambouyantdude · « **Reply #11 on:** July 14, 2011, 01:10:19 AM »

it looks good just needs to be paint-match for the side at least. sweet "bro" haah

Golyadkin · « **Reply #12 on:** July 14, 2011, 04:29:39 AM »

I've always loved the old Evo spoilers on these cars. It fits the body so well.
I've never seen one that wasn't color-matched though. Personally, I'd say paint the outside of the two pillars holding up the spoiler, and leave the rest CF.

webzes · « **Reply #13 on:** July 14, 2011, 05:01:16 AM »

me gusta. ive been wanting to do this as well, but havent found a decent priced one that isnt all cf. on a side note, if you look at the last pic it looks like a uni-brow face (spoiler, tails, plate) or maybe im just seeing things

total0wnage · « **Reply #14 on:** July 14, 2011, 05:19:48 AM »

not feeling it- i feel like it doesnt flow with the body at all, just my opinion

Right on I couldn't tell if it was black or cf, but yeah I would definitely keep it that way. The more I look at it the more I like it.

Mr.Fate · « **Reply #16 on:** July 14, 2011, 07:59:40 PM »

It actually looks like it fits the car, but I think it would really stand out if it were color matched. Unless you go two tone black/white all over the car or it is CF, IMHO If I saw it on the street it would come across like you just did not have the cash to get it painted to me.

Maybe some black rims to tie it together?

I second this. It might look better color matched, but it looks a bit "boxy" to be on our sleek curved Lancers. It just doesnt look right, sorry

Shiosx · « **Reply #19 on:** July 19, 2011, 11:03:10 AM »

i like it!, i mean i also have it on my car, it looks good with the ARS Rear lip making the car more "boxy" that it matches a lot more. +1 still!!

Nick_lancer · « **Reply #20 on:** July 19, 2011, 12:36:38 PM »

Theres something about it that I kinda like

tatsujo · « **Reply #21 on:** July 20, 2011, 06:19:13 PM »

Since we threw the banner up, seems like everyone is doing it. ;d

It looks good from certain angles and weird in others. As long as you like it, it's your car. How about this one?

mattfleck · « **Reply #22 on:** July 29, 2011, 04:44:01 PM »

I'm loking the look of the cf, but as some others said, I think I would get at least the outer edge of the sides color matched, just to help the flow a little better.. and tatsujo, that pic you posted looks pretty sweet

powight · « **Reply #23 on:** September 01, 2011, 05:36:47 PM »

I have always been a fan of tall spoilers on cars that have a reason to use them. (ie: awd or rwd cars, not cars like the cobalt ss or srt4 neon.) I love the look of the evo x spoiler and the IX also. IMO the older spoilers look good on our cars but I would either color match or black out just the bottom and leave the top body color.

Swilleyho · « **Reply #24 on:** November 03, 2011, 08:17:57 PM »

I love this!! I can't decide if I want a spoiler or not...

toplinelancer · « **Reply #25 on:** November 03, 2011, 09:10:19 PM »

I actually had the evo 9 wing on my car, when I went lowered, I replaced it, and cf wrapped my trunk. Definitely miss this look, but wingless is for me

y2kmike27 · « **Reply #26 on:** November 04, 2011, 06:29:50 AM »

with it lowered, new shows and wider stance, this will look sick. as of now, it looks ok

WHile I agree with your statement, if you lookup the flow dynamics of the RA, GTS, and EVO, you will see that Mitsubishi put a shit ton of work into developing the SSS and non-SSS spoilers for our car. Putting the 8/9 wing on it completely negating all the R&D that went into the spoiler that comes on these cars, and is more than likely doing less for you than if you left it stock.... however it seems a lot of people could care less about function and just want something that looks cool and will sacrifices performance for it. Owners choice, just want to make sure everyone is aware of the facts.

Here, this document should explain it... http://www.mitsubishi-motors.com/corporate/about_us/technology/review/e/pdf/2008/20e_08.pdf

Im not a fan of tall spoilers and I dont think the older evo spoilers look good on 9g lancers - I dont even think they look good on older evos.

I agree, the R&D is one thing to consider for the performance aspect, so for a performance based 9g I would go with the evo X spoiler but for show, I think the older IX one sets our cars apart from most others. But yeah, owners choice for sure.

Keedo · « **Reply #31 on:** November 14, 2011, 02:35:08 PM »

i think if you painted it a little, it would look better. but thats just my opinion lol

YoshiBishi · « **Reply #32 on:** November 14, 2011, 02:56:55 PM »

I spy a bunch of 3000GTs in your pictures. How about a 99 3000GT VR4 Combat Wing =D?

I have a 99 VR4 wing laying around, maybe I'll test fit it just to see what it looks like. I do love my stock GTS wing the best though.
