Mazdaspeed type 2 wing
Just got my Carbon Miata. The joint lines could be tighter, and the end caps are just kind of screwed on. Otherwise it seems good for the price. I will need to paint mine as the yellow kevlar stands out too much.

Not for nothing, but there are more than a few real Mazdaspeed wings at the auction site... I know its a bit late..
Not terribly thrilled with the Carbon Miata, especially after I had to drill holes specific for this, i doubt they had a template. The radius on this is tighter than my deck, so it has a gap on the back and right side. The left sits the way it should while the front is okay. It would need to be squashed quite a bit for it to fit, and I could see it cracking if I forced it. Speaking of cracking, I had to disassemble it to paint it, I noticed the wing was sprung in place quite a bit. When I went to put it back together I ended up cracking a seam in the base part. I slid the wing in a direction that required the least amount of force to get it to slide in place, but it still cracked. I finished the install and it is sturdy, but now I'm going to have to repair the seam and repair the paint. I assume I can fill the cracked seam with resin epoxy and body work it. Haven't had to work with resin. Or should I fill it with a thicker regular 2 part epoxy?
