My 87 didn't come with the stock spoiler of the later years. I really like how the cars look with the spoiler though. Does the stock spoiler actually have any function, or is it purely for looks? Anyway just seeing what everyone else thinks.

 

I like the stock spoiler..But wouldn't mind the Turbo spoiler...

 

i was the first vote, woop woop

 

My ride...I like the stock spoiler

 

i think mine is aftermarket, but who would sell such an ugly thing... damn communists.

 

dunno uniqueTII car is badass......

 

was that a compliment? thanks dude. you may want to take it back though, my car is broken down. doesnt matter how rare it is if its sitting on the side of the interstate and not in my garage...

 

The stock turbo spoiler is the wrap around style right? How much do they cost from a dealer or for a replica anyone know?

 

its a wrap around, but not as much of a wrap around as mine. mine is some aftermarket weird stuff.

 

I thought he was talking about the guy on here, "UniqueTII" but maybe not.


My friends car didn't have a spoiler and he just put one on. You wouldn't believe the difference.

 

would you be happier w/ it sitting in the garage unable to go on the interstate?

 

Dude I put the wrap around stock spoiler on my 88 GXL
cause it didn't have one, and it made it look a lot better,
however now i am wanting a different one of the aftermarket sort. I just want something bigger i think.

oh just be true to your
car, give it what it needs.

 

Stock TII spoiler is MINT looking!
It's hard to find an aftermarket one (in north america) which looks better. I'd say 95% of aftermarket ones make the car look like ****. Get a stock TII one for $100.

Merry christmas.

 

spoiler is the way to go, i just believe a RX-7 looks really sexy with a stock spoiler. i'll show u a pic of before and after sometime this week when i can buy me some batteries for my digital camera then ull see what i'm talking about.

 

i think that one of those SMALL aluminum mini dragger wings would look sweet on a black fc.

 

There was a pic a while back of an FC with an aluminum spoiler. It was a very low one, maybe 3 or 4 inches high. Looked pretty decent actually.

 

Yep I was reffering to the member UniqueTII, his mistic paint job and no spoiler, and it is to die for, I think the rx, without a spoiler lookes like a mini vette from the rear, but thats just me....

 

I truthfullly think FCs look really bad without some kind of spoiler. Mine didnt have one when I bought it, and I just really didnt like the looks at all. The stock one is very nice, one of the best choices, Ive seen very few aftermarket ones that I like. The GP Sports one is pretty nice though, almost like the stock "sport" spoiler, but wraps around a little.

But what about functionality? I personally hate the stock spoilers. They remind me of dodge daytona's.

I've been struggling with the spoiler/wing/ground effects issue for a while now. My car gets pretty light in the rear above 120 and its unnerving, but i don't want the attention of a wing. Any insights?

 

The stock spoiler reduced the CD from .32 to .29 I believe. They also have been proven to provide downforce to remedy the "unstableness" of the car at higher speeds.

 

You've got it backwards... They increased the drag coefficient from .28 to .31. NA 7's have the lowest dc of any production car.

 

Get a spoiler, the stock ones look the best

 

EBAY! that's where i got mines

You can buy the GTU style spoiler from almost any RX-7 shop. Wings West sells a replica, which I bought, but the quality is not as high as the real thing. Ebay is probably the first choice to find an original.

I don't like the pedistal style at all. I didn't know it was a factory option either.
