Check the link for mine. The flying whaletail as it's called is NLA. There were 2 different dealer option version, both looked the same, one was a 3 piece, other was a single.

Hi and welcome to the forum
Amongst the "herd" of spoilers people bolt to their Beloveds, Mazda Japan only ever produced ONE OEM factory spoiler (not to be confused with US dealer knock-offs). Its the traditional "duck-tail" spoiler, made from a soft rubberized urethane (Dealer versions are either ABS plastic or, more common, fibreglass). Never offered for sale in North America, these spoilers were standard equipment in japan home market as well as europe.
If your interested, I (*ahem*) just happen to have a nice spare (I imported 2, one's a keeper) complete with all NOS OEM attachment hardware. Pics avai -
PM me if interested-

I love the lip spoilers. If I ever do a spoiler it will be the rear wraparound lip for sure.

Billy- That's the spoiler I've always wanted for my car. If you have any more laying around, we may need to talk...

That spoiler is offered by Mazda Motor Sports. You have to be a racer or you can't order it. I think its something like 4-5 hundred bucks...

This is the "factory" 3 piece IMSA spoiler that was available from dealers on 84/85's. I'm not sure who actually produced it, but I love it either way

It is still listed in the catelog, so I would assume that means it is still available. It's been on my Christmas wish list for years, but the wife just doesn't love me enough to get it for me yet.

I believe selectmaz in aus also replicates it. Shipping is pricy though

Awesome! I was expecting you to say they are no longer available. Can you post up more pictures of yours for me? I'd like to see some more shots of it if you have any.

I've been debating between the Aeroworks spoiler and a wraparound duck-tail one.
