lol guys... I post in this thread because civic_guy's done a nice, professional job with his project. So it coincidentally happens to have "drift" in the topic title is of no meaning to me, unless it's a video thread.

That said, civic_guy, while I love what you've done with the lights, the wing is really too tall.

I like my new big wing...

It does look very big from certain angles...but I think it looks nice. All my cars have small or no wings so it'll be nice to have one with an insanely large wing. I think after I paint it and make my intercooler and modify the rest of the car's visual aspects it'll look better on the car...

EDIT: Here's the finished wing ready for painting. If you notice the tabs from the stock evo spoiler, they will allow me to screw or unscrew the wing whenever.

It may be big, but it may fit the car well. You can't judge something until its done and you see it as a whole. I think it looks cool.

Mod Edited for grammar.

yeah i dun mean to burst ur bubble but looking at it the wing stick up higher then the roof of the car does it is a lil to high. if u took the srew mounts of the wild wing and glued then right to the upgraded wing it would look good i mean it doesnt look bad bad but its not the greatest having it so high but then it would be one thing if u anged the wing like tilted it down foward like instead of haveing it like --- straight across angle the front down more /<kinda like that but not as great

It's ok your not bursting my bubble...lol. I actually like it but I may cut a small section out and then re-glue the spoiler to lower it bit...I dunno...i'm going to wait to paint it to see it I start to not like it lol. The build-up and attaching it etc was working so good and going so smooth that I'm really proud of what I did. Who knows I may hate it after I get over me accomplishing putting it on the body.....

It's your car, and if you like it, you should keep it.


but I've got another vote for the wing looking hella ugly at this stage.

Netcon, first off, you don't even have enought post to be B/S/T'ing. Secondly, this is his project and it doesn't seem as if civic_guy will be selling this when he's done. Don't go running off and trying to buy people's projects. It is a complete slap in the face and very disrespectful. Besides, all he's trying to say is that he may want to get rid of the WING not the whole car!

This is your SECOND warning from me.

no...i'm not making up for anything...

And yes I know the wing is very large...it's ok width wise...but the more I look at it the more I myself think it's too tall. I'm gonna go to the hobby shop this week to by a package of three 1/28 scale drift wings...the one in the pic is a 1/25 scale. But it's gonna be a tall wing because I think it'll really bring out the powerful looking aspects of the car once I get the intercooler and gloss black head and taillights in there.

Exclamation Head and Tail Lights: COMPLETE






















I officially have a Lancer Evolution IX MR Anyways...here's how it went down:

First I took some Elmer's Glue and a toothpick; I spread the glue across the orange and red parts of the head and tail lights with the toothpick. I then sprayed two coats of gloss black paint over a period of 4 days; afterwhich, I simply peeled the areas where the glue was applied...and voila!

By the way if you guys are ever painting small areas and get impatient cutting paiters tape...glue is the perfect sealent.

My next step is to modify a drift style wing... so if anyone has a drift style wing they want to sell or donate pm me. I'm currently shortening the one that I posted pics of earlier but the more options I have the better.

Hope you guys enjoyed and stay tuned for MORE!!

Sweet! I like it! It makes it look like actual aftermarket black-chrome headlight housings! It also gets rid of the ricey Altezza tails too!
