First off, I am posting this for a friend of mine.
Yes, this was the wing that I used to have on my car, but I've sold it to my friend.

-Voltex Type V 1700mm GT wing for EVO X
-Last seen: 3:00am, August 23rd, 2010 at 272X Napier St, Vancouver (between Kaslo and Slocan).
-Found missing: 3:00pm, August 23rd, 2010.

My friend parked his blue Evo X overnight in front of his house on Napier St., Vancouver, (the block between Kaslo and Slocan), at around 3:00am of August 23rd, 2010. He found out his wing got stolen at around 3:00pm on the same day. They took the wing with the end plates and brackets by unbolting the bottom 4 bolts on the brackets. The trunk bases were not stolen, as they were bolted into the trunk.


Here are pictures of the wing:

I know thieves are stupid, but what do they do with the wing without the bases?

a base is relatively easy to fabricate. the expensive part is the upright and the wingspan.

I've been thinking how is one suppose to make their carbon wing more secure?

yah good thing u pointed that out cuz knowing revscene and all you'd expect comments like "the thief did u a favor" or some other shit like "you try looking for that at a park?" or maybe even some shit like "you owned that before?" comments like that are unnecessary.

Dang... although I wouldn't personally use that on my car, I can't believe someone would steal that! Any identifiers on the piece like a serial #?

This is pretty noticable.

I'm guessing a part like this doesn't have serial numbers though right?

We can try to keep a lookout for you.
I doubt it's getting shipped outta the lower mainland, so either craigslist or kijiji.

Dumbass can't even come here and try to pawn it off.
Maybe check the evo forums?

I tend to engrave shit on to things I own, in case someone steals it, there's a way to identify if I ever see it

Ohh man good luck with the search. I was wondering why one of the evos at gearheads had holes in the trunk and no wing :(

I'll definetly keep an eye out.

I believe that's a white guy who works that neigbourhood since my friend lives there too, he's around 6 ft tall, typical junkie looks ... black cap, grey sweat pants and denim jacket ... constantly biking around in a blue bicycle ...

maybe tell him there is a $20 cash rewards for finding that "missing" item, should be good enough to refresh his memory which garbage dump he "last saw that" ...
