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.

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.

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.
