I'll have to admit... I kind of like that lol.

 

It won't stay up!! At least with the stock struts. And no aftermarket strut manufacturer make a kit for our Verts

As indicated earlier in this thread, I have a spoiler on two of my Verts (one the stock "sport" as you see in my signature) and solved the problem. I designed an adaptor that will allow mounting aftermarket struts you can get an any auto parts store. One adaptor/strut replacement is all needed to stay up. I replaced both of them, and now my the trunk lid will lift up by itself when you release it! No kidding.

It's a simple design, but cost me about $20 each for material and labor to have them made. I can get more made using mine as a reference at a local machine shop if anyone wants. Interested Wankleheads, PM me as I rarely go to this forum.

 

snap!^ that would be awesome man! what is your price my good sir?

dang hyper... that last photo of that white vert is my most favorite of any vert out there! (and Juiceh's vert).

everytime i check out this thread, make me want to get a low profile spoiler for my vert!

 

Just cover my cost of $20 each and shipping to you. Just wanting to share the cure, not start a business.

 

I'm using one of of his adapters. Good stuff!

 

 

that wing looks awesome

 

finally Juiceh!!! good **** man!

 

I like how you eliminated the stock 3rd brake lite and replaced it with one incorporated into the wing.

Glad the trunk strut adaptor worked out for you as well. I'm sure trying to get the trunk lid to stay up now would be a real PITA without it.

 

Are you sure he eliminated the 3rd brake light or is the new wing just covering it up?

 

Either way, it's eliminated.

 

I threw the old third brake light in the trash.

Quick question. Does the stock third brake light have a dimmer setting like the regular brake lights or does it just come on when you brake and turn off when you let off? I can't remember. lol

I'm trying to decide if I want to wire mine up as a 2 stage brake light or just an on/off light. I recently noticed that the center light bar on Cadillac's and other vehicles etc. are off/on style, so I guess that seems to probably be the way to go.

 

The third brake light is off unless you press the brake pedal. No dimming, just on/off.

 

Yeah as stated, its on/off

Thats the point of the 3rd brake light - if its on - that ****** is stopping

 

Juiceh's next challenge is to wire the third brake light so it is also a directonal turn signal light.

 

Picked up a used one in good shape yesterday.

Comments? Made by local to me Wings West in City of Industry, CA.

Primary concern is opening the trunk accidentally while the antenna is up. But Mazdatrix advertises this as "this is the only wing that fits a convertible"

 

LOL, I guess all of the other wings in this thread don't fit. Silly Mazdatrix.

I kinda like the ones that hang off the back myself, although they tend to look better on coupes than verts.

 

it looks just like stock vert wing

 

So, if there were a stock Vert Wing, this would be it? I like that answer.

But I'm still concerned about the antenna. That question will be answered when I test fit it next week.

 

Looks alot like mine anyhow and mine was stock, good question about the antenna though, i've never opened the truck while the antenna has been up, I will have to check this out tomorrow.

 

anybody have the part number or a link to where i can find the sport spoiler?

 

if ANYONE knows anything about either one of these spoilers let me know i want one.....maybe both

Looks like a RacingBeat convertible spoiler. Good luck finding one.

 

Stock Vert Wing. Is there really a factory option such thing??

 

And the answer is????
