I'm with you, RXhusker. The lip spoiler just doesn't add anything, IMO, and the arch spoiler is 'too much'. The stock 8 already looks like it has a lip spoiler from the rear. I'll stay stock, thank you very much. I'd much rather have those Mazdaspeed side mirrors :D
Don't mean to be dumb here, but somewhere I read that the drag coefficient was .31 without spoiler and .30 with spoiler, so it does add something. The question is, which spoiler has this result, and is it meaningful? I'd expect better gas mileage (1-2%) for long high speed runs, but no effect for local driving. Thoughts?

That is what the new RX-8 book said we got in the mail this week (better drag coeff.), but it did not specify which spoiler.
