Curious as to how good this wing is. Pretty cheap at the listed price of 245.

I have it and still love it even though there are a million different styles now. I think it follows the lines of the car better than the stock plus has a hint of an "in your face attitude" w/ out over doing it.

Do you know if it mounts to stock rear wing bolt patterns or do you have to drill new ones? Thanks!!

I did not have a spoiler on the car when I bought it but I believe the stock wing has 4 different places to drill into hatch (2 on each side) whereas the RB type I only has 2 (1 on each side).

I have one, I'm very happy with it. It mounts with four bolts but I don't think matches the r1 wing because the outside points don't fasten down. Instead they hang over a little, almost to the antenae on one side. You have to be careful when you close the hatch - don't slam it or the tips will bonk the fenders. I've had my car 150+ mph and it didn't vibrate or anything.

The previous owner of my car added the Racing Beat Type I wing. I like it lot, although I would like to replace it with a RB Type II wing after I get all my performance modifications done:

I found this one on the web from a New Jersey junkyard...paid $250 for it, then repainted car after mounting it....I love it!



It is aggressive and still conforms to the lines of the car.
