I am just curious why no one has made a fiberglass copy of the 99 style wing. I love that wing but can't see speding $900 on it. It would be really cool if someone made the sides fiberglass and the middle peice out of carbonfiber. I think there would be a big market for this sing in a less expensive version like around 400.
I know that racing beat makes one similar but I hate it.

 

yea thats unusual. There should be a replica.

You read my mind exactly. I'm going to try to do that in a couple weeks..

 

Uh oh... Waiting for JoeD to pop in here and slam people for thinking about replicas and knockoffs...

 

because the new wing is ugly

 

also its probably too much trouble, cuz the 99 spec wing is adjustable

 

Does anyone have pics of this wing from different angles. I'm trying to decided if I'm gonna get it for my silver 7 or not and the only pics I've seen are from straight behind the car...

I would hate to spend $900 and decide I don't like it when I see it from different angles for the first time.

Thanks!

 

its beautiful and functional to boot.

 

here is a pic of a silver one

 

 

I think that it could be made not ajustable just to keep the cost down. I personally think it is by far the best wing because it isn't ricey, but it does have some character.
Thatoneguy,
Let me know if you make one, I am sure you could get a group buy going. Maybe someone could talk to fastpac or the other company making replica stuff.

 

If this does turn into a group buy and someone makes a replica, count me in I love that wing but lets try to keep the price down. And if that means that its not adjustable I am fine with that. Someone should make a replica, I bet tons of people would buy it

 

<--------------- how my face looks right now.

 

hey, thats an o.g. pic of my car!

 

My friend has one for sale if anyone is interested, I think he wants $550

email me if anyone is interested zeropiston@shaw.ca

 

If you take into consideration that it's adjustable and all the knockoffs aren't, plus it is prepainted factory color matched. It will cost you about $250 to have a copy painted and color matched, then the price doesn't seem as bad.

 

Go Racer,

I have to disagree with the paint part. There is no way that the 99 spec red will match my faded 93 so I would repaint it. I think I even saw on rx7 fashions web site that it wont match your paint perfectly. I would much rather it came in primer than painted.

 

The 99 spec wing is too expensive for me.. i ended up getting the mazdaspeed type 2 wing.. which looks similar to that, but a bit bigger.. Here's a pic of it..

EDIT: i got my mazdaspeed from a friend, so it cost me less than a 99 spec wing would..

 

ummm....the Mazdaspeed Type II wing is more expensive than the 99 spec.

 

Oops, i meant the racing beat one.. u know same style.. i got my authentic mazdaspeed one for less since i had connections.. but still, u get the point hehe..

 

My 99 spoiler is coming in a couple weeks. If I make a replica w/o it being adjustable, what angle would most people want to have for the spoiler?

 

for some reason the mazdaspeed type 2 looks a little different than the rb one...

 

why does everyone want a stock oem wing? spend all that money and all you get is a wing that everyone from 98 and up has???

same thing with the 99spec front spoiler

 

Lots of people also have C-West, Veilside, Mazdaspeed etc parts. In fact, there are probably more of those parts around than 99 wings. If it looks good to you, buy it. Who cares if another guy has it?

 

Wicked,
I just mounted mine and the paint is a great match, I don't know how faded your car is but my 93 with 50K is a perfect match. Sorry no picture I just rebuilt my computer and have not loaded the camera floppy software yet.
