Nice car but there is a trend I'm noticing. A huge wing like that on a car from Japan is "cool" but anywhere else it's rice

im not going to say i really like the wing either..........but whatever floats his boat. If i had the car and i raced it i would use the wing, but if it was strictly a stret car, the wing would come off. Seems like it would attract too much unwanted attention.

its just a spoiler, true its a fairly big one but at least its not an APC spoiler from autozone, the car is all business anyways from what i can see, so the wing is ok by my me. The whole car is amazing.

nice FC. i just got a JDM convertable 89 just watch out on those left turns with the RHD, sometimes if theres a big SUV infront of you turning from the opposite direction, you cant see ****.
and you cant go through drive-thru's by yourself anymore . heh other than that rhd isnt too bad.

Thanks for the comment guys.....i know what you mean about the huge wings...i will only use it when i drift and race on the track......For normal street use i will just use the standard mazdaspeed spoiler. : )

Also....i m collecting the car next Monday or tuesday at the port and is finally here.......CANT WAIT!!!!!!

actually, that car looks like it was tuned to be running on the highways instead of drifting. Considering the large wing and the front air-dam, (makes me wonder why there is no fmic tho) it looks like a wangan runner to me. but damn if i dont consider that one of the cleanest fc's ive ever seen. aside from that, the aforementioned is correct...its not some vauto-zone, pep-boys, or o'reily's wing, its a ******* re-super-G GT wing man! how dare you compare that to a vauto-zone rice boy wing. ****, if i had scratch and my car looked that good, i would sport that wing anyday of the week. granted, i would want some thing a little more low-profile, but if i had that re-gt wing, i would take the pepsi ******* challenge with any auto-zone wing, any day of the week! just my .02 tho.
