View Full Version : UK rear spoiler Gauging interest!
Ok ppl i know we all want it...... the UK rear spoiler but in a cheaper form! ;)
Im currently in communication with Spoilerdepot to explore the possibilities of them doing us the UK spoiler.
I will be in charge of all the communication with them to set up a possible group buy so before we jump any guns here i need you guys who are DEFINATELY interested to get this if SpoilerDepot does make it.
The more ppl we get in this the higher possibility they will consider this project!
So list your names here for my reference.
List down your:
1) username
2) color
3) status of willingness to purchase (Definately or Maybe)
This is assuming the spoiler will be comparably priced with the factory spoiler, and come PAINTED.

RolenImportsRX8 04-16-2004, 08:06 PM What does it look like? What's different
Irish_in_a_RX8 04-16-2004, 09:14 PM I would be interested as alot of others in our tri-state club. Although I think $200 - 250 is quite overpriced considering the US stock spoiler runs for $180 - 229 on ebay and has more weight/material etc.

the US stock spoilers on EBAY is from SpoilerDepot also.
and my guess of 200-250 is just an estimate based on the spoilers selling on EBAY.
No confirmation on prices yet, this is just my rough ballpark figure and it is to gauge interest.
Japan8 04-16-2004, 10:38 PM As my sig says... I don't own an 8 yet, but I am planning on getting one within in a year and at that time I definitely want the UK lip spoiler. So I may not group buy now, but I would in the future. I dunno if that helps any...
The R-Magic one is OK... but I think the UK one gives the cleaner look like the BMW M3 (and 3-series sport models in Japan). The Ings is pretty cool, but still not as clean looking...

As some others have said, if the price were a little lower it'd be a definately. But I'm a strong maybe.
derwankel 04-17-2004, 04:59 PM Not interested ... for two reasons:
1. There is a chance MAZDA will release the euro spoiler in the US for 05, a slight chance, but a chance none-the-less.
2. If they don't, I've already picked up two euro spoilers that I am modifying and sending to production for release here in States
You, of course, can pursue the SpoilerDepot solution, but you might want to consider waiting a bit longer. You might find a better solution just around the corner from either MAZDA ... or me :-)
I hate to talk futures, and I know how this crowd can be, so it's a no win situation. All I'll say is I'm working on an "enhanced" euro-spoiler that will be available in factory colors in the not-so-distant future. It will be reasonably priced, of high quality and therefore a good value.
I won't talk price specifics, I won't talk about ANY specifics. I was torn as to whether to say anything at all ... but I guess I decided I would. The sole purpose is to let you make a more informed decision, and avoid the inevitable "I wish I had known."
As for those who would compare the current U.S. "grab handle" spoiler to the euro and attempt to quantify price based on weight/materials, you simply have to look at the difference between a "handle" that attaches in two places and a lip that must follow a very complex trunk surface. One is easy .. the other, if done well, is a bit more "challenging". There is much more to price than weight and materials.
Needless to say, when I really have something to offer, this forum will be the first to know, and in accordance with the rules established herein regarding vendors.

NAVILESRX8 04-18-2004, 07:46 PM Hey Derwankle, it's cool....some people don't want to wait for an unsure thing, and in my case...I don't want an "enhanced" euro spoiler....I want the Euro spoiler or an exact replica of it....
derwankel 04-18-2004, 10:38 PM Yep ... it's cool ...
Japan8 04-19-2004, 02:33 AM I wonder what "enhanced" means...
Generally I agree with Navilesrx-8... the original or an exact replica will do...
NAVILESRX8 04-26-2004, 02:24 PM bizzump.....
I want a Euro spoiler.............
God of Thunder 04-26-2004, 02:35 PM I have a black in my hands right now. Unfortunately the corner got banged up in shipping. Local body shop says $100 to get it back to perfect.
Japan8 04-27-2004, 10:04 PM Hmm... only 6 huh? I was wondering how this was going... maybe not so hot. Those pics of the R-Magic lip are pretty nice too... http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26720 I suppose it's not a bad second choice...

Japan8 04-30-2004, 11:29 PM This is it? 7 people? I thought there were so many more clamoring for one back on the Rosenthal or Trussville Uk lip spolier thread. has all these people vaporized??? BrotherVoodoo.. did you get one from somewhere else??
Sorry ppl..... I failed to get this GB started....Spoiler Depot did not give me a response... :(
Japan8 05-05-2004, 11:15 PM Well turn out was disappointing...
There is always the R-magic lip http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26720

R-magic seems to have the best looking lip spoiler IMO.. but not worth $360, it just sticks on with double sided tape for pete's sake! :)
Japan8 05-05-2004, 11:27 PM I was just wondering what happened to you as you had been of the most vocal supports of the lip spoiler and then suddenly we didn't hear from you anymore. I thought that possiby you got your own already...
brothervoodoo 05-05-2004, 11:29 PM Nope, not yet for reasons mentioned!! Catch ya later Japan8!
mikeb 05-06-2004, 07:36 PM mint blue has a nice lip spoiler but its 460.00 I think
orbist 05-06-2004, 08:16 PM A couple of shots of the lip as requested earlier...
orbist 05-06-2004, 08:18 PM ...
orbist 05-06-2004, 08:20 PM and some multi-coloured ones :)
orbist 05-07-2004, 07:40 PM last one gives better view
r0tor 05-21-2004, 07:55 PM hmm... black carbon fiber euro spoiler... sounds yummy
loco4rx8 05-21-2004, 09:56 PM Oh, black won't look too good on blue. Well, I'm sure you'll sell plenty of them!
Japan8 05-22-2004, 01:34 PM CF? Well I guess one could paint it... Really though, bodycolor is preferrable.
claude4 05-22-2004, 02:20 PM Body color is my vote too.
claude4@aol.com is my e-mail just in case you would like to notify us by e-mail when your porduct is ready
God of Thunder 05-22-2004, 02:26 PM Body color is nice, but I would think not the specialty of this shop. No point in making a nice cf spoiler only to paint it. IMO.
Japan8 05-23-2004, 11:47 PM God of Thunder... that just can't be helped. Nowhere else to get a UK lip spoiler from, so if you want one it'll be CF. If you don't want CF on your car (I hate CF accents! For weight reduction, ok, otherwise RICE!)... your only option is buy the CF piece and have it painted.
AND I don't think the majority of people who want a UK lip spoiler are interested in CF. They all want bodycolor.
God of Thunder 05-24-2004, 06:29 AM Understood, and not to hijack the thread but the UK spoilers can be had if you're persistent enough.
Japan8 05-24-2004, 12:52 PM Really? but is the cost $500 USD plus s&h? If so that'd be a big roadblock for people too. You can get the RMagic one for $355 shipped like leggina did...
God of Thunder 05-24-2004, 01:53 PM The shop making the cf version got their UK spoiler from somewhere for less than $500. ;)
And Thew on these boards has one on the way to him right now, also less than $500.
I know the price you mentioned is not set yet but I think you would need to lower the price abit if you want more customers because for 350 + shipping.... thats abit too much i think...
like the others said getting the R-magic for 355 shipped would be a better choice....its genuine and its the real deal...
just some thoughts for you for you to take into consideration before you price it. :)
Cheers

As opposed to?
The Rmagic, while attractive, is nothing more than a design they came up with. I'm not sure would make it genuine.
Japan8 05-25-2004, 04:39 AM Why not match or come very close to the RMagic shipped price for yours shipped? $355- $400... that's pretty attractive.

the Rmagic is 355 shipped from JT ;)
God of Thunder 05-25-2004, 01:59 PM 355 shipped......and.......unpainted.
Give the guy a break, if cf isn't your thing then don't worry about it.

Omicron 06-02-2004, 10:37 AM Folks, customCFshop has been doing a lot of solicitation in this thread, and he is not (yet) a paying site vendor. So until he becomes one, I've had to delete his posts on the subject. If you want to works directly with him on a lip spoiler, feel free... but we cannot let the plugs continue on this thread. Thanks.

my apologies. as soon as the item is completed, we will sign on as a vendor before we start selling on here. not trying to take advantage of this great online community. :)
