Question Black Dragon rear wing

Is there anyone on this forum who has this wing on his/her car?

http://www.blackdragonauto.com/icatalog/rx/0034.html
Partsnumber. 96-463

I´m curious about this wing as a possible replacement for the stock rubberwing that used to be fitted on my car.
So, if you happen to have any experience of fitting this wing and also a couple of nice pictures to show what it REALLY looks like, please post it or PM me.

From the looks of it, the company has made the correct measurements to ensure it'll sit on the decklid without a problem. And, it looks like it's sloped enough to allow your hand to slip under the crevice for the glass hatch to open it, too. I'd say you won't have any problem at all.

And, by stock rubber wing, you don't mean that big wrap around wing are you?

Thank´s for your answer, 85 FB!
It´s not that big, but that´s the one. You can see it on the car in my avatar.
The original wrap-around is in a bad condition and I can´t seem to find a decent replacement for it, so therefore I´m interested in replacing it with the mentioned Black Dragon wing. But it all comes down to how it would look on the car...

There are a few companies that's selling limited quantities of that style wing.

http://www.mariahmotorsports.com/ Mariah is one company, go under Exterior, then Individual Aero Body Parts, and look for "Mariah Mode One - Wide Body Rear Lip Spoiler" That should be a replicant of what you have.

There was another that was offering a limited amount but I can no longer find them. Do also keep in mind that shipping a wing will probably require another $100 give or take to ship it via Freight, as most companies do that. Whichever wing you go for, be sure to take lots of pictures to show how it looks.

Or, you could wait to see the wing I'm designing, decide you like it better, and buy one when it goes into production.

My wing > all other wings.

Aneby....
I have a similar wing on one of my Rx7s. The wing my Rx7 has is a 3 piece metal one and unfortunately someone last week ripped the pieces that go on the end of each side.

So, I´ll wait then

Rxcalibur: Thanks for the pictures. You wouldn´t happen to have a picture taken from any other angle? To bad to hear about yet another RX-7 being damaged by some envious ***holes, by the way!

Might work on the mock up today a bit, as it's only drizzling outside.
