Anyone order the lip spoiler?
I'm trying to preorder the lip spoiler (as a port option) and my dealer is telling me all he has the part number for is that "St. Louis Arch" style wing. What's the deal? Anyone have the part number for just the lip spoiler.

I really like the lip spoiler better than the arch-style. I'm sure it will available through Mazda at some point in the near future.

Someone should build a lip-like retractable spoiler. Meaning when its up it provides greater downforce (at greater speeds) and when its down it looks similar to a "seamless" lip spoiler. :D :D :D :D :D :D

Porsche has it. It's pretty seamless though not 100%.
Thats a beautiful blue RX-8 BTW. Ok, I'm off topic. Sorry.

Like the lip more and wish it will be available soon. To me the arch spoiler looks great w/ the appearance pack., but w/o the pack. definitely the lip.
