Looks really out of place. Any track guys claim this helps the RX-8?

I would like to see some results on it also. I would think that it would create more of a vacuum behind the car and offset any possible downforce. I don't know much though. I am just geussing. I am now ducking. Flame away.

Maybe they got tired of the static on the radio when the rear defroster is on.

Personaly, I would just put up with the 5 min of static or listen to a cd.

Someone has been watching too much Law and Order.

(particularly heinous)

The RE roof spoiler is decent looking.

As much as I, personally, do not like spoilers...this one is pretty cool. Not obvious at all, yet is noticible to those in "the know." How much is 42K FRP anyways?

I believe the vortex generators will serve more actual use than the roof spoiler.

Wolverine's little roof guys look like these ...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Vorte...66367984QQrdZ1

...mimicing the oem Evo roof spoiler vortex generators. Certainly have a curiosity factor to them that regular old spoilers don't

although somewhat questionable as to if they actually add any real benefit. I kinda do like the look tho.

you can laugh, but I've seen a test where they intermeshed inverted NACA duct projections across the rear roofline and it causing the airflow off the roof to drop down and run right along the rear window onto the trunk/spoiler area ...
