guy has one locally, no pics (and i doubt ill find time to get any) but it kinda takes away from the overall rx7 appearance

(which works for him w/ his cowl hood and V8 engine)

i do think these take away from the overall look. 7s are already streamlined pretty well and it would just make it look worse if it had a fin on the top. IMHO

Yea I saw that...definitely didn't see a pic of a FC w/ a roof spoiler, or any FC or rotary for that matter, let alone a pic of the spoiler. Just pics of some big luxury car on 26s or somethin lol. Maybe I'm missing something...?

I think you may be referring to a rear sunshade, sometimes referred to as the rear hatch spoiler that Mazda offered wayyyy back in the day?

There are some pics of it floating around on the FDs.

You will definatly get mixed responces, but it REALLY depends on what you want and how your car is set-up. I have seen some FDs and it looks good and others are straight GHEY. I realize your asking on an FC though.

It has one purpose, to provide shade from the sun.

In case you hadn't noticed, the RX-7 has a steep sloping rear window. It gets hot inside on those sunny days. I would assume that any shade or protection would be a nice thing.
