Can you get an Evo or STi without the wing?

OH yeah, the EVO RS does not have air conditioning as well. So in the summer you're screwed. It doesn't really attract THAT much attention. Time to get that Mazdaspeed 6 then... AWD, Turbo, 276HP... although I suspect that that sucker will weigh quite a bit. MSRP is suppose to be 28k-30k for that Mazdaspeed 6

you can get AC added back in as an option.

along with power windows, mirrors, locks and keyless. Adds some 25Lbs to the total weight - that's probably what I would go for. Slap on a CF hood to shave the 25LBs off again and you're set...

25 lbs isn't a whole lot, you can probably get most of that back by using a Braille racing battery if it's that big a deal.

The main thing i like about the RS is just that it's cheaper. It's too bad Mitsubishi is kind of a 2nd rate manufacturer or else I might already have one.

LOL. Not even close to the STi. Really.

Why would you want to do that?! It was engineered that way. Blasphemy I say.

Better visibility, less attention from cops, sleeper++, etc.

Viper GTS

Never meant to be. But if comfort is what you want, you'll never get that with an STI.

No, but I believe that you can exchange trunk lids with a normal WRX in the case of the STi... the WRX's spoiler is less gaudy.

You can also put a wingless trunk on it. I know of people who've purchased another trunk lid from Subaru and had it painted to match. Costs about $800-900.

The larger hood scoop is necessary though for the TMIC. Unless you go with an FMIC and a lightweight CF hood (painted of course-unpainted CF looks like ass on regular cars).
