If anyone doesn't like knockoffs, I have a genuine one sitting in my garage doing nothing. I'm never gonna get around to using it. PM for details.

APR makes a similar wing that sells for ~500.00 You will have to make custom mounts, but for a 700.00 savings that's no big deal. I have the APR GT200 wing on my car, nearly everyone agrees it is badass, if not a little big for a street car. Mine is track only, and functional. Carl

ok before calling it rice or whatever, its not an over the top wing that sits 20 inches above the boot of the car... i personally have it on my car, and have had it since my car was imported from japan. a word of advice to the buyer, be prepared to be annoyed by it cos it's quite a thick spoiler and sits right in the middle of your rear view vision. apart from that it has plenty of functionality and you'll notice that when cruising on the highway

you guys are crazy

I have the RE-Amemiya (SPELL IT RIGHT!) rear spoiler, i'd prefer it over the wing to be honest.

But if i was to get a wing, i'd get a mazdaspeed one, or the FD SP one, did you guys get that car?

GXLBiscuit what you are referring to are the old hks style ones. It was on a yellow car most likely in the picture you saw. They are hard to come by but Silver Rotor has one on his car and it is molded in. It looks real slick

Would you be interested in selling the spoiler?

****, everyone has their own opinion. The re-amemiya front end is ugly as hell in my opinion, I'd rather have the stock s5 front and a big turbo and intercooler, but thats my opinion and I'm entitled to it. That spoiler though, pretty nice..

Hmmm...not sure about that. I do want to put it on someday but not until a FULL repaint as I don't think it would look good w/ the black S4 mouldings. You should wait until fc3s.org releases theirs as it's probably going to be cheaper than corksport (which cost me 299) and you'll have the option of carbon fiber (for more $ I'm sure).

About the only good thing I can say about corksport is their fiberglass pieces are well made - my front lip is their mazdaspeed replica

tall spoilers are only rice if you have them for looks

tall spoilers produce downforce which the stock fd spoiler doesnt do anything

i dont think the stock t2 really adds any downforce either. just drag

the sport spoiler cuts drag though.....the only "non-rice" spoiler that came on FCs
