Spoiler

I have always been in the no spoiler camp, until now... Any ideas?

It looks good on that car but I think the original Mazda IMSA 3 piece wing would enhance the look a little more. The wheels set the car apart from others and look fantastic!

It may look the same but it’s not. Original IMSA wing is 3 pieces and the side pieces go further up the 1/4 panel.
I wanted my car to look like spoiler came on it originally,in order for it to not devalue car.
Original Wing was my choice,I installed easily 80?
of these when the cars were new,the other style doesn’t look right to me. The sides look stubby.
That’s just my opinion.
I’ll look for a pic and post it.

lwrobins, Retro-Spec makes these spoilers. I’m not a spoiler person either but also really like this one. They have a group buy going on for fibreglass and carbon fibre ones. I have put a deposit on a fibreglass one, I think they’re waiting for a few more people to pay the deposit before they start production. If you’re interested, the group buy is on their closed Facebook page “Retro-Spec RX7 carbon fiber parts”.

Hey Thanks, I think we have the same vision, will look into. The IMSA is cool, my car came with the IMSA 3pc front air dam but the rear spoiler kinda dominates the car without flares or a widebody.

Thanks for this info! This does look strikingly similar to the old C7 one for sure. I'll be considering one of these since they are so close to the old ones, 82transam has one and I'm always super jealous of it

I’m pretty sure it’s the exact same design. Retro-spec started making these after c7 discontinued them. Not sure if retro-spec bought the original moulds or if they just copied it.
