I have that wing on my car. Bought it too. I wouldnt mind having a stock one but I dont think it looks that bad. At least its painted to match the car and is nice and smooth.

people's cars get slammed continuously. It's a matter of taste. It's an opnion, pal. Get over it, and enjoy you're car.

dont worry about the wing for now, first work on getting 4 of the same tires, and make sure they are wider than the tuna cans that are on there now.

just some friendly advice.

That wing can be cool. Maybe remount it. So that it all lines up.

Its a spoiler, which means if you aren't push 200mph, its pretty much cosmetic. The car looks fine with it. Hell, my car has been in a garage since 98 and its got 2 huge *** dents in the hood from hitting 2 deer. I'd buy that car, spoiler and all.

I think that FCs look bare without a wing, like a shaved cat. But in this case, I would take the naked look over that lawn mower handle. But that is not my car and this is just my opinion. I think the rest of your car looks good. If it were me, I would take it off and sell it.

Something about the hoop style Supra wings on an FC (or any RX-7) seems like a total clash of style.

Please don't be insulted, I don't mean this to be insulting. I know how it is working on your engine ($). I am rebuilding mine, just waiting for my flywheel nut wrench to get here from Mazdatrix. Once that is done, it is paintjob time with a GTU spoiler and aluminum hood thrown into the mix.

Id rather have spend $300 on that wing than spend $1000+ on some bling-bling shiny wheels. I think my n/a will be fast enough to back up its looks now. Im putting my rebuilt motor back in on mon. I put PA style-sleeves, streetported it, and removed the 6-port actuator rods.

Its ok I guess considering I have a "ricer" paint job to go with my "ricer" wing.
