Factory Wing? Surely an option huh...

Hi All, I had checked around a bit and have yet to see the 8 with any type of factory wing. Has anyone come across any pics of a factory wing for this car? I saw the pic of the supposed Masdaspeed kit with what appears to be a 99+ wing and it looks OK but I think it deserves a wing of its own since its not an RX-7. I am kinda picturing something small and low profile, possibly something that would compliment the lines on the trunk. I guess an example of what I'm seeing is similar to what the latest Cougar has. I dunno...any thoughts on this subject are appreciated. Take Care, DD

I personally think a spoiler might make the car look worse. The decklid is already VERY short, and the trunk has a nice flare to it as well.

I could be wrong.

What might be nice is a very small, subtle lip spoiler as BMW has on the M3 and M5. That might look kinda neat, rather than a full out spoiler.

Yup, that would be great. The short decklid combined with the higher beltline at the rear (have to admit I still love the low beltline of the rx7) will make any more than a lip wing look dumb. Not that I'm sure that'll stop a lot of people

I understand what you guys are talking about...
Anyone one proficient in Photoshop want to give us some pics of the 8 with the spoiler from the M3/M5 or any others that may look good on the small decklid?
