Take it off of her car, walk over to yours and set it on the trunk, take a picture and decide. But dont forget to post the picture.

i htink it always looks very tacky when you see a wing from a different car, on ANY car... i've seen a tibby with an evo wing, other cars with supra wings, and it just never looks right...

I don't think it'll look right on our cars. The Evo has a slight sort of Boxiness about it... sharp curves... Know what I mean? and that spoiler compliments that. Our cars are very rounded... and I just don't think the Evo spoiler would look good on there.

The only wing that could be interswappable would be between the supra/3000gt/95-05 eclipse they all have that same similar looking wing.

USMCFieldMP think you can take a stock EVO/STi?

I am going to have to agree.

The EVO/Lancer is very sharp lines with minor curves...

The Cobalt has very smooth rounded curves, I cant think(off the top of my head) where there is a dramatic curve or "line" on the cobalt.


The spoiler follows the body style of the lancer/evo...not the cobalt.


However, until we actualy see it (or someone who photoshops it)...wed never know.

Yes... and I have done it many a time. From rolls 04 STI's are no problem... 07 STi put up a little more resistance, but I pull ahead in the end. I raced an 07 STi from a dig and we were side by side at 100mph.

And Evo's are a piece of cake. Never had the chance to race one from a dig yet.

then he does not know how to drive. he should be having a huge launch straight up and put a car length on you with his awd. launching at 4,000-4,500 rpms.. my friend has an sti and a cobalt stage 2 raced him and didnt have a shot.. you ever go to the track? what do you run in the 1/4... the proof is in the pudding

haha wow i just watched your videos. 2 things.. the evo wasnt racing you.. there is no way you pull on an evo that hard that quick... there is no way you pull on a stock ss/sc that quick let alone an evo.. point blank.. also the WRX looks like a WRX not an sti. looks like a WRX conversion...

The Evo was racing... he's sort of a friend of mine... and he actually did run into Fuel Cut. That's what happens when you don't take care of your car. That engine is toast, IMO. SO yeah... that is a bad example. But I've raced about 5 different Evo's... and only lost once.. because he had 316awhp... and I had a 300lbs guy in my car.

And what are you talking about WRX conversion? The "STi" I raced... was an STi... he went wingless. Trust me, we found his thread on NASIOC... he had problems. But, once again. Not the only 07 STi I've ran... not the only STi I've ran.

lol you race everyone with problems.. jk i mean nice kill, but yea i mean that evo just like died, i dont understand how he ran into a fuel cut at such low speed. but hey it happens. i wish i had an evo.. i was always a fan of the sti but the sit deff dropped the ball with the 08. but yet so did the evo. lol... i was going to get a used evo with my next car. but i decided im getting a 04-05 BMW M3!! those cars are sexy

Nah... THAT NIGHT, I ran a lot of problematic cars. The Evo... he just never took care of it... treated it like a 4x4 truck. After the race, we took a peek under his hood. The Turbo is F#cked, the WHOLE fuel system is shot (running 87, I guess). We've replaced most of it... getting it back on the right roads!
