On a recent trip to ebay (still in search of Evo X goodies), I noticed two spoilers available for the CJ lancer advertised as VRX and Evo X spoilers.These are copies, made of fibreglass, and the Evo X one doesnt even look like OEM. no black bits. Just a quick warning guys.

well, there are 2 OEM spoilers that I know of for the X.
The one you mentioned, without the black bottom part, that is a factory spec X GSR spoiler or Ralliart or VRX/GTS, they're the same. The black part one is an MR Spoiler. It's an optional part for Ralliart's and X GSR's.

And I mentioned the VRX one...the VRX one is lower with two indents. The Evo X one is higher with one raised part in the center of the spoiler and a black underbody. As far as I know.

^... thats what ALL replica body parts are. the ONLY place you will find a genuine Mitsubishi part is from Mitsubishi, a supplier, OR 2nd hand from a vehicle owner.
they don't say it is a 100% Original Mitsubishi part now do they...?

I'm just making the warning Phoenix dont shoot the messenger lol.
And not as far as I could see but it didnt say copy either. I only found out when I messaged them asking if it was OEM.
This was...2 months ago? I just figured I may as well say it before SOMEONE makes that mistake.

....zzzz
do some research before claiming "scam", buddy...
"Raised" look + black bottom trim is a FACTORY OPTION... its not standard on Ralliarts or X GSR... only MR.

Ok fine my mistake but the one advertised looked like an MR one without the black bits then.

^ hence it means its a VRX/GTS/Ralliart/GSR trim... not X MR. you have the option of keeping it full body color OR dual tone. all available options at a Mitsubishi Ralliart Dealer, call up to check.

But it looked like an MR spoiler without the black bits, not like a VRX spoiler. I can tell the difference...
