look good both ways. For street use, i'd leave the wing off. Then when at the track, throw it back on.

IMO without is way better. I think those wings are ugly. I think the best wings for rx-7's are the stock ones.

I'm gonna have to agree with you saburo. I think it looks great either way. Wing for the track, no wing for the street. Anyways, your car looks awesome. Nice work.

Hi guys thanks for the replies. I had the wing on the car for more than a year, and it's been a month since I removed it.
Every time I see my car I feel that something is missing, I'm still trying to get used to the new look.

F**K OFF! that wing looks like a new mother should be pushing her baby from behind your car with it. Leave it off or go stock

Wings need to complement a kit. I like wings.

put some series 3, rx7 dolphin spoiler. I think it'll match your nice bbs rims. Your car will have the look of the 1996 type RZ my fav.

I had this on the car initally but I didn't like it so much (my opinion).
Then I replaced it with this wing (this is not my car, just a pic I found here)
By the way, my car is 1996 type RZ.

That's a RB type 2 spoiler. I'd go for the stock dolphin tail spiler if I were you.

I am not saying that this is the 96 model wing. I replaced the 96 wing with that one.

this is the 96 wing

oh' yeah I was not reading it right. I've "edited" the post..haha sorry. But I think that spoiler is nice. I bought one for my car because I was planning to get that BBS rims to do that 96 rz look, but I ended up on doing 99spec font and back so its just sitting there in my parents house in Japan now.

the 99spec one is one of the best looking rear wings.

I definately dont like the first wing your had on the car. The car looks great without the wing. But then again it also looks pretty good with the stock wing you had on there. I would either go with one of the Mazda OEM wings for the car or leave it without. Either way your car will look great with these choices. Just leave that First wing off.

I have the Mazdaspeed A spec wing (RB Type 2) and I'm growing tired of the wing too. I think my ricer days are over, but I'm not sure what wing to get with it, or if I should go wingless as well. I just got a 99 spec front bumper, so not sure if my current wing will suit it.

My vote it with it off. Like the clean look of the tail of the car and your car looks great with the suspension dropped and the big wheels.
Leave it off

honestly im torn, sometimes ill look at my car and say damn i wish i had a wing to just complete the look but other times ill like the wingless look.

Its really two looks I love equally and cant decide one way or another, Id say that if you have the money get a 99 spec spoiler because that is the best way to complement the car without going over the top.

unlike alot of rear wings, this one actually looks functional. It is a bit much for me though. I'd agree with alot of the other guys in that i'd keep it on the track. Personally I like the R1 wing for looks but it might not go with your body kit which is very egressive looking

my 2c
