Pics of Racing Beat pedestal wing

I while back I saw someone with a WTB thread for one. Before that thread I didn't even know they existed. I know they are long since out of production. But has anyone got pics of them?

It's the only pedestal wing I've seen on a vert that I like. I just wanted to salivate a little. Hell, if enough interest pops up maybe Shine will do a replica, or RB will start making them again. Not likely but it's nice to dream.

I have one (I think), let me see if I can find any pictures...haven't taken many


Don't really have anything on hand, I took one of the seller's pictures from an old e-mail. B&W for style

Not the same as the RB convertible wing. I'll take a bunch of pics of mine tomorrow. There are quite a few pics of it in my build thread.

Thanks Juice. How much do you know about the history on the part? When did RB stop making them? Or hell, maybe I'll get on their website and ask them.

Unfortunately I don't know that much. I know it was discontinued a LONG time ago. Probably ~15 years ago. Its been so long that they won't be very helpful if you call and ask about it. Example: https://www.rx7club.com/showpost.php...&postcount=282

Dave's wing is now mine.



Mine has been slighty modified to extend the pedestals about 1/4 inch so that when the trunk is closed the ends of the wing won't slap the fenders. The hole for the antenna has been shaved as well.

It really is a gorgeous piece and grats on having a truly rare find for your car. I was all happy to end up with Vipers MS hoodscoop so I can understand exactly where you're coming from.

I got an email back from RB....about what would be expected in a reply. Their computer system only goes back to 2000. No record of who designed it, how many were made, or when production stopped. No tooling or production molds exist. He estimated that only about 100 were sold.
