Good luck. They don't make the 15th Anniversary kit anymore so you'll have to wait for someone to pull it off their car because they're tired of it...and most likely that car will be in Japan.
As for having a strong wing, it's ABSOLUTELY necessary. Any idea how much downforce a properly shaped wing can produce? One that size, at say 120-150mph would probably have somewhere around 400lbs. of downforce. Think about those apples for a bit. Even though it's a copy, it's an exact copy meaning the wing's shape has been tested in a wind tunnel by Mazdaspeed. More than I can say for most of the cheap GT style wings every FWD is running around with!
It's also a copy of a real Mazdaspeed design. They did make more than one wing design. Quite frankly, I think it'd look great on my car which is brilliant black.

here's another pic of those Ferrari's at Sebring 12 Hrs, taken by me. The wings are positioned off the back of the car unlike most GT-style wings which sit right above the deck.

I absolutely love that wing. When I finally get around to doing body mods, it will be the only wing I'll consider. I've loved it since I first saw it, because it's different and unique. It's not ugly or too big, just perfect.
