Uhm......how you gonna mount it? The feet look pretty far apart, like they won't fit on the tiny little ledge. Or do you have a 'vert?

CYM. Competetion Yellow Micah. It is a factory Mazda color for the FD. Look at a guy named "cymfc3s" here on the forum's car. It is that color.

yup i was thinking about striping the TII hood and putting colored carbon fiber on it. if i decide on a color for the hood i can find the color carbon fiber for the hood thats y i was thinking yellow. because with a black background yellow will show up better than normal carbon fiber.

Umm.. you do realize that you're putting the equivalent of a park bench on your rear deck. But to each his own.

Good, there's someone else on here that thinks it will look tacky. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that wing usually considered "rice" by this very forum?

The question, seriously, is why?
What benefit are you looking for?

Hey, if you could attach a belt to a little motor in the hatch so when you're running away from Batman, the motor turns little latches which release your wing. At about 75mph, you'd get enough wind to kick it back, right into the windshield of the bat mobile.

Or... you could use it as backseats, if people want a windy ride home.

Yes, I'm a jackass... sorry. :\

How bout we all lay off him, and just accept to each his own. I personally think the Regret wing looks great, and that will proballly be little different.

Turbosmoke: i see you have an NA RX-7.. with a wing like this expect your gas mileage and top speed to drop alot! You probably wont people to make it over 90-100...

This wing is really large for your car, unless you plan on making turns at like 120

Not my personal preference for a spoiler, but do post some pics when it's installed. I'm curious to see how it looks.

it is going to look like a gt race car with a wing like that. you got a good deal on it too. I have seen those pep boys rice spoiler mounted on rx-7's before and the look pretty good.

I would get a spoiler for my car but it make my car stick out way too much for the cops. I get pulled over enough already, and something like that is calling out to the cops.

post some pics when you get it mounted.
