Negative, the VIS replica is adjustable, I know because I have one.
The difference is the VIS is only adjustable for 2 settings, one flat, one angled.
The OP's spoiler seems to be OEM since I doubt any replica would have that many adjustments.
On the other hand, one can easily just drill more holes into the spoiler to make it more adjustable.

MazdaSpeedDan I agree with rx7rcer09, if you wrap the centre piece in 3M-Dinoc CF it'll look better than flat black imo.

You can order a oem spoiler from overseas from a factory rx7. These will run for around 550 shipped and probably need painting or fiberglass work.
I have a replica that is also adjustable and either the person didn't know what the hell they were doing but the main rear hole could not be used for all of the 4 positions available. Also the side pieces fit very bad and I had to use bondo to fix it. I am very picky about the parts that go on my rx7 and if anyone gives me $300 for my wing I would sell it in a heart beat. I bought it for that price.

Crazy thought, no offense intended but is it possible to have the center cention in backwards? It seems the front of your spoiler has a blunt face whereas the rear comes to a point....wouldnt you want the pointed flat edge on the front to help cut the wind for downforce instead of creating drag?
Just a thought. Anyways, im interested in a 99spec wing

i would like to image that the design of this wing is somewhat similar to an actual airplane wing where air pressure is higher on one side then the other creating lift/down force.
Also, i don't think you can create down force without some sort of drag..
not a physicist though... only a biologist haha..

So the short answer is, ur spoiler installed correctly.

On an airplane wing the curved surface on the top creates a longer path for the air to travel, to cover the longer distance the air must travel faster creating lower pressure on top of the wing. Lower pressure on the top of the wing creates lift to pull the plane up.

I've never preferred the black/CF bolt covers, but I definitely think the blade looks better in a satin black/CF. Should have come like that from the factory.
One diff between OEM and replica may be, the OEM has metal supports inside the FG mounts, so its pretty strong and can take loading. Not sure if replicas do.
