RB type II wing

I'm seriously thinking about getting this wing. Does everyone else agree that it's the sh&*? Any place I can go to get a reduced price? (I'm all about pricing deals nowadays)

Unless you find one used, that's probably the only price you'll find.

I have a Racing Beat catalog, and the website and the catalog are the same (so at least the website is up to date ).

at first, i liked the RB Type II wing, but when i saw pictures of if from different angles, i started to loose interest. its kinda big and bulky.

right now, i like the RB Type I wing. same as the R1 wing, but a little more aggressive.

my .02.

i agrre with Joe D...I have a 94 Touring and might get a wing in the near future but wanna keep it as close as stock as possible. I might get the RB Type I. The big GTR is kinda gettin played. And its a lil big. Although, i wouldn't mind a 99 adjustable. Thats the shietttt

I want a wing that will add a little to the rear of the FD as well because it just kinda trails off parallel to the ground and makes it look like the back is missing something. This wing mounts right above the back end too, so I feel that it adds something to the rear. This is what I'm looking for as well as something that will stand out a bit more.

Rix7, get what you like, it's your car.

I like the RB Type II wing. I have the RB Type I wing on now, and thought about replacing it with a Type II. But I have other things I need to purchase for the car WAY before I think about replacing my wing.

My RB Type II should be in the mail soon. I have seen it in real life, and it is kinda big, but provides the look I want at a decent price. As far as size is concerned, RB type II is the largest, mazdaspeed is the middle, and the 99 spec is the smallest as far as wings with that look. Also, the RB goes the whole way across the bottom, the 99 only connects on the sides, and I forget what the MS looks like. So after debating for a while, I decided to buy the RB, plus it was used and painted my color so I saved more $$. Once I get it, I am going to put it on, and decide whether or not I want to keep it. If I don't, I will probably sell right away.

the Racing Type II and the Mazdaspeed Type II wings are the same exact wings. no difference whatsoever.

That wing just looks factory. Not too overpowering, and looks awesome with or without an aero kit. I just made up my mind... RB Type II it is..

I could swear the MS was smaller, but I believe you pics. We had a pretty large get together this past summer, and I thought all 3 wings were there, but maybe I was wrong. I do know though that the RB is larger than 99 by a good deal
