u kidding, it only cost about $150 to installed, compare to the OEM spoiler $1000.
I think is simple and nice, not stand out too much like the OEM spoiler.

Haha... its kindof funny. Every second person says it looks like crap, and the other half seem to like it... I guess you either love it or you hate it!!

I like it...

This is the only place it belongs:

come now that is a load of crap. if that is the case then honda and subaru shouldn't be allowed to have side mirror indicators, because mercedes came up with it first. foggies aren't allowed on any other road cars apart from subarus. and all the manufacturers now have to reverse the trend towards clear headlight covers...

Jus-10 was saying it only look right on BMWs..because it's factory fitted.

U think those Altezza clear tailights look right on CE lancers?

If it came out from factory like that, surely i won't have a problem with it.

It came standard on the car, so I guess it does belong there :p

I personally don't have a problem with fitting aftermarket lights to cars. the unfortunate fact is that these people think by fitting heavy evo replica fibreglass body kits and aftermarket lights to their cars will make their car a tarmac rally king with their 60kw 1.5L engine

To those saying that its barely noticeable, isnt that also true for 99% of JDM style mods? I remember hearing that (on the BMWs) this actually has a purpose too. Something about causing some (or reducing) turbulence at the back which can reduce drag??

installed properly these lips actually produce a reasonable amount of downforce...
