Looks good badfish! I am usually not a fan of 'time attack' styled rims, but the red is played down really looks good.

Bad luck to take them off.. Let the road take care of that for you.

Jon, for the love of fsm, please put the wing back on. Seriously.

I am pretty sure the vortex generator is more effective if you still have the wing, but is still cool. Makes it look different than the average boring sedan roofline.

Looks sharp, dude. Don't listen to Evan, it looks much better minus the wing.

Thanks fellas. The thing on top is called a vortex generator, supposed to redirect air to the rear wing. I bought it for aesthetic reasons. And my car enjoys being wingless

I'm sure I will in the near future. I have a few buddies up there that I need to visit. Plus I plan on attending CU, so I want to check the campus out. I'll let you know when I'm in the neighborhood. If you come down here, do the same.

looks badass, so you have to replace tires like what every month with AWD. Kudos to you for keeping it badass and not ricing the hell out of that car looks fast

Looks good the red makes a nice little contrast, but man your paint needs to be detailed.

Yeah, big time. You should come out here and detail my car, lol. I need a buddy who knows how to use a PC. I would personally never try it at the risk of burning my paint. Definitely needs some tlc.

Nearly impossible unless you actually try to **** up your paint.. The PC is a very capable machine, but being a kind of random orbital the more pressure you apply the slower it goes. You'd have to have a seriously abbrasive pad and some kind of lighter fluid for polish to do any real damage..

Seriously, your car is begging for it's wing back. It looks so sad, like it's ready to break down into tears without it.

I'm soooo ******* envious of you. I have all STi and EVO owners alike simply for the fact that my dad is stuck up Ford's *** so far that he refuses to buy anything else. Even though we have four mustangs, a fusion, and an f-150.....

ANYWAYS, I love the car bro. It looks super sick, although I do think it'd look better with the wing, it still looks bad *** either way. Nice job.
