Call me a ricer if you want. I like it and am happy with it because it goes well with the carbon fiber wing and my exhaust tip heatshield on the rear bumper.

I just installed my eBay carbon fiber vortex generator and am very happy with it considering it only cost me $30 shipped. This is a Tyrant brand which LancerShop used to sell for $399. It is real carbon fiber, not carbon fiber "look". This piece is brand new, but I got it so cheap because one of the mounting tabs is broken off and I had to use my own double-sided tape. I used 5 feet of 3M Super Strength body tape which cost me $5.99. The fitment was decent, but had I paid the full price of $399 I would have been pissed and sent it back. It does have a few flaws that 99% of people will never notice. The weave matches my exhaust outlet heatshield surround thing, but not the wing which has a much tighter weave. Installation was easy enough and overall I am very happy considering this cost me under $40 total!

Sorry for the crappy pictures, but I didn't feel like pulling my car out of the garage.

I'm gonna get some 3M adhesive remover, take that off your car, and throw it on the talon!

Looks nice, on the second pic it looks like it is a little worn on the lower right corner... or is that just the pic? Either way that is a steal, and you can tell its real CF.

That's just glare from the lights in my garage. I waxed it already so it is really reflective!

No kidding! I was thrilled with the $80 shipped I paid, then I saw the broken tab and they offered to refund $50 of my original $80 so I was even more pumped!

Don't those things help stabilize the car when you are going over 160 too?
