Name that spoiler!

Came on Loki's car, he wasn't sure what it was. I'd be very interested in getting this exact one for my car. Help out

Yeah, I'll second that. Definitely looks like the mazdatrix spoiler.

OR-
it could be the JDM/european market OEM RX7 spoiler made by Mazda. Soft urethane/rubber compound (material like Saab turbo or any of the OEM european car spoilers). Not hard fibreglass or plastic. Have one of these I'd part with (its used), with all-new OEM mounting hardware. PM me Kerebrus if your interested.

^^Yeah I was gonna say that looks like the factory option we got over here on some of our cars.

As said, it's made of a soft urethane/rubber type stuff...not the best for keeping water out from underneath it, if your not careful it can cause rust...

Its definately not rubber, its more likely fiberglass. It was purchased in the early eighties, all I have for it is a receipt for installation.

Looks similar to mine....although mine looks a little more "whale-tail". Mine is definitely fiberglass and was installed in the early 80's.

That is not whale tail. Whale tail is what came on Porsche's after they figured out that the needed a big fat spoiler to combat the lift issues they were having. They got their name because they actually look like whale tails.

On a Porsche



On a mammal
