Here's a link you might like.

The wing is discontinued. So finding one is very difficult.

Take a look at the pic. The wing struts use the inner holes most holes from the stock rear spoiler. The outer most holes are covered with a nice plastic finish aero piece.

Nobody said it was going to be cheap. You're looking at out of production stuff. For people who were able to find some pieces, they paid big dollar for the OEM stuff.
Now they have a rare piece. God forbid something happens to the car afterwards.

You can try other 3rd party vendors to try to get this piece at a slightly cheaper price (fdnewbie deals with sort of thing all the time). But don't expect to find these things at some bargain price, example $200 or $300. That isn't possible.

Do you really want a GT wing? I don't think it fits in the factory holes at all, but I could be wrong. What do you plan on doing with your car or is it just for looks?

Hold on, it'll improve aerodynamics if you're all out racing.
For street use, all the wing will do is increase drag.
If you plan to take on/off ramps at race pace, it's not going to help any.
Race track and street driving are 2 completely different things.

If on the other hand you're trying to get something unique and rare, then yes, go for the GTC Mazdaspeed wing. But only if you're going for that particular wing. If you just want a "wing" for the sake of having it, that's a completely different ball game....

Good work!
That piece is one of the hardest one to find. I have seen a few of them go for about $700 or so. But never cheaper. Usually when they're selling really cheap, something might be chipped, cracked, or broken on the wing.

Keep at it!
