**UPDATE**

This is still a prototype, but will be ready in a couple weeks.
There will be 3 options, Primered, Gloss Black, or color matched

I would not buy a used evo or any car with a turbo used.

Who nows what can go wrong.

as seen on the evos, it goes on the roof, (right at the end, before the hatch (no interference)) and increases down force

Theire so posed to be angled but they aren't on the evos. I mean its not a big deal but like on strictly race cars they do that.

no flaming but a voice of reason...

the downforce achieved with vortex generators is only because it creates vortices that interact with the spoiler...if the spoiler was smaller it would have no effect on the downforce of the evo...

and downforce on the rear wheels of the tC? seriously?
