I'm almost done with the bodykit for my 8, all I need now is a spoiler. I'd like to get other member's opinion on which would look best with my current configuration. Currently I have the ks-auto burnout Carbon fiber lip, Mazdaspeed sides and rear diffuser.

Here are my top picks and their prices shipped....
1. mazdaspeed spoiler painted black (rosenthal $900)
2. mazdaspeed Carbon Fiber (rotary extreme $1000)
3. mint blue spoiler painted black ($400)
4. mint blue spoiler Carbon Fiber ($540)
5. or NO spoiler at all, leave as is


Please post a different spoiler if you think it would look good. I'm not into universal spoilers that are huge. Here's some spoilers that I thought about but eventually decided not to include.
UK stock lip (too small)
R-magic lip (too small)
ings lip (looks too bulky)
stock US spoiler (doesn't go with my current setup)

curret setup 1

current setup 2

current setup 3.

Mazdaspeed spoiler

mazdaspeed spoiler in carbon fiber

Mazdaspeed spoiler painted black

mint blue carbon fiber

mint blue carbon fiber 2

Just say NO. do not suggest either of these. Way too big.

Did you see Need for Speed's pics of his car? MS kit with the Uk lip. Not to argue for you to get it... that is just the exactly look (kit and color) I've been considering.

ur car is exactly like mine. I'm just missing the strakes. I would go for the CF replica wing. Just my opinion. Thats what i want.

Good luck

Japan8....... Yes, I saw Need for Speeds pics. It looked nice, but it's not for me.

whosyourbaba...... Exactly like mine??? You've got the MS rear/sides and the ks-auto CF lip? You've got good taste.

no one's is excatly like yours

I say mint blue
that's what I want

where can I get it???

Mint blue's US distributor is Automotive R&D, call them at (408)635-0000 for pricing.
Carbon fiber is $540 shipped to my door. Fiberglass unpainted came out to $400. (I listed the painted fiberglass at $400 in my original post but it'll actually cost an extra $100 to have it painted somewhere.)

i say the mint blue CF since u got a cf lip

have u thought about the rmagic lip?

he stated Rmagic lip is too small for his taste in the first post

adrian-1 : how much u bought the front lip and side skirt (painted and shipped)? how much it cost you for installation? any modification needed?

i think either the m/s or cf mint blue spoilers will look nice
i wish there was more pixs of the mint blue spoiler on the net
either way there is no right or wrong im sure you will choose a good looking wing anyway.

I say you bolt a picnic table to the rear deck, and wrap it in horribly fake carbon fiber looking shelf paper. Yeah, that's the ticket!

:D

Seriously, I'd go for the Mazdaspeed, painted black. Or wait till someone comes out with a spoiler that is somewhere in between the MS and the Mint Blue... something like the one you see on 3rd gen RX-7s.

oh, and BTW, the MS spoilers looks much better in person. I didn't like them very much until I saw a couple of them on '8s at our June Rocky Mountain RX-8 Club meet. Now I want one, damnit! :(

You can buy the front lip at www.memoryfab.com (http://www.memoryfab.com) for $280 (unpainted fiberglass) or $480 (carbon fiber). You'll have to email them about shipping.
The sides are mazdaspeed brand from rosenthalmazda.com and were around $700 painted. I installed them both and no modification was needed.

I decided to paint my cf lip black and have it match the car. Pics here. (http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31104)
I'll be getting the Mazdaspeed spoiler in black in the near future.

Those are good prices. From mint blue W/O shipping the prices are: c/f $515 and fiberglass $363. So you could look at it as getting the shipping for only $30, which would be much more from Mint Blue.
I want this spoiler!

Hey MikeB, maybe they would give us a group rate. I'll call them to see if so and at what price then find out how many people are on board.

I'm in

i love the mint blue!!!!!! also have you seen the gtp wing on the sr20 powered silver rx7 in modified mag a few months ago. my car is really low and i think a wing that comes straight off the back goes well with the cars long profile. i like the front lip with the ms side and rear very much!!!!!! great job:)

That mint blue carbon fiber flows with the lines of the car better to me and that is important. Something that is attached like that to a street car can take away from the car (to me) if it does not "go with " the car and serves little purpose (on the street). The minto blue adds a sporty flare and looks great. Of course rally cars and reacing have a need for larger and gaudy items and those large ones like the last pic "fit" the purpose.
