best option for 93-95 Spec Spoiler
My 95 did not come with a rear spoiler and I would like to add a 93-95 spoiler. What are my best options for purchasing and installing one? The best I have seen is from this site:

It seems the OEM has been cancelled by Mazda.

Yeah I would find a good used OEM spoiler. They are of fantastic quality, they are hollow plastic so they are very light weight too.

I ran with a FEED Type 2 for awhile. It's the least...ricey of the aftermarket wings IMO, and even it made me feel a little bit fast and furious. I sold it and went smooth/no wing for awhile, then ended up putting the stock wing back on. It just fits the look of the car, IMO. Mazda did it right.
Here's a pic of the FEED Type 2. It installs with the stock '93 holes. I had a bodyshop paint 4 plugs montego blue so when I took the wing off, you could hardly see the mounting points.

OP, I also found a used OEM spoiler in the parts section. I bought new gaskets and mounting hardware from Atkins, printed out the OEM mounting template (Rear Spoiler Install — took forever to get the printed scale right), and had my body shop re-paint and install it. Turned out perfect.

I agree. It’s not like it’s rice. It’s OEM. And after all, it’s a personal stylistic choice.

Maybe I'm in the minority here who doesn't find the S6 front bumper and wing pleasing to the eye. In the not so near future, I'll be changing over to the S8 front bumper, side skirts, and wing. they modernize the car imo.
As pertaining to the post, there will never be a shortage of guys selling their S6 stock wings and bumpers, so hit up the fs section.

I never understood the idea of "modernizing" classic cars. Usually the appealing thing about old cars are the design features that they had that are no longer available for technical or legal reasons, such as pop-up headlights. Usually when people do things like add fixed headlights, replace chrome trim with matte black, or at carbon fiber interior trim, the result looks tacked-on and cheap.
Taste is subjective but IMO nothing looks better than the early model front bumper/aero with an R1 lip and rear spoiler. I will admit the kouki fascia looks cool if the car is lowered and kitted out like a time attack car because of the sharper angles and larger ducts in the front. Not so much with a stock body street car. Car manufacturers facelift their cars because they have to in order to stay relevant, not because the designers necessarily want to.

Trippy with the painted mirror-triangles and door handles. That front end is a tiny bit 15AE-ish too with the big blinker lights.. Kinda cool...smooth looking for sure. Also, that Spicy Orange Mica was a Mazdaspeed Protege color.
Cool pic that I've never seen though. I'm guessing that's the concept car?
