Cost of R1/R2 spoiler is insane!

This may have been asked before, so please point me in the right direction if you can.

In general I'm really a fan of just the R1 front and rear spoiler, I think it is classic and clean. Yet mazda wants 530.00 for the rear spoiler and that dosen't include the 'damper' for the trunk lid. So is there a cheaper place to get them? I read about the wings west one and heard that it has some fitment issues. I'll have a body shop paint and install the rear spoiler so maybe them having to do a little extra sanding and grinding with the wings west won't cost that much more. I'll also have to watch the FS section. Anyone have positive, and cost efficient methods of getting an R1/R2 spoiler? I'm not looking to go cheap, more not waste money unessecarily. Thanks for your help guys!

Put up a WTB thread in the For Sale section. A lot of people have these lying around in garage.

Also look on ebay and the parts trader.

even the used ones have gone up in price. I bought an r1 spoiler used painted MB for $125. My black car I ended up paying $180 for one(both were in excellent shape). I think it is best to buy them used, because 9 times out of 10, they are painted and ready to go. I installed both of them myself.

Just pick up a used one on the forum. I see R1/R2 wings for sale quite often. Also, you could contact Jesse Lau or JT-imports to get one cheaply.

I actually have one that I was about to put up for sale. It's a black stock spoiler and the paint is in excellent condition. If you're interested just pm me and let me know.

Spoiler

I bought an aftermarket rear spoiler from spoilersdirect for about $140 to replace the stock one my friendly neighborhood mazda dealer broke for me while it was at his shop.

I have a Racing Beat type 1 spoiler, which looks similar to the OEM only better

Currently it's painted silver.
Let me know if you're interested...

That's not insane. What's insane is the price for the R1 strut bar. List price is over $900. You can buy a cheapo one, that does the same thing, on ebay for $30.

Good luck finding one, im sure someone has one laying around. Mazda really should not sell them for that high of a price. Im sure few people actually would buy one for that price anyways.

I don't know the quality, but I do remember Wings West selling one about a year ago around $200. Not sure of any info about it, but thats another place to look.

Try the Racing Beat Type I

It's just like the stock R1, except on steroids.....I found mine in a junk yard in New jersey (online) for $275.00

I've had it for 4 years.

Go there and scroll down to the bottom of the page. You can choose your color and then order. Jason is a good guy that I have done business with a few times. I have nothing but good things to say about him. Hope that helps.

Am I mistaken, or is this the price for one that is already painted to factory spec paint codes. If so, the price is not too bad considering it will cost you about $200 to get it painted right.

Someone with the know-how needs to do a group buy on these rear spoilers. Anyone want to take that on? You can count me in on a definite purchase.
