Everybodys Opinion Please!

Alright so I've been doing some research on spoilers. So far I've found that I love the carbon fiber ones, also I like the ones you can adjust but only to an extent, kind of high but not too high that it looks stupid.. Does anybody have any suggestions or profile pics they could link me to with the name of it?

I kind of like the Mazdaspeed spoiler but I'm still not sure.

Edit: I like this as well, https://www.rx8club.com/album.php?al...pictureid=3434
From Deathwalkin's profile.

Anything bigger than a Mazdaspeed spoiler (with the exception of the RMagic) on a RX8 that isn't tracked is beyond stupid.

Ty for your opinion. I'm still in my fantasy stage I guess, I still love the big wings and lowered with bodykit stuff haha.

Also I would like to add another question, Does anybody know where I can get 10inch Orange LED strips? I can only seem to find yellow. Ty!

Not asking for it to stay alive to be honest with you, I just want some ******* opinions. Big wing, Medium wing?

I'm lowering it, rims, exhaust, intake all at once. I want to go with the Mazdaspeed spoiler but I can't choose.

Maybe give me some help other then getting your ******* post count up? Jesus christ.

That wing in Deathwalkin's photo just looks silly, and really old fashioned. If you're lowering your car and adding a body kit, you're getting a look that reflects the modern way of getting downforce. A big wing like that kind of screams "1967."

Just my opinion, but look for something more sophisticated and in tune with your body kit.

I'm liking jonni44's idea, but I also don't want to be looked at in the riced out civic crowd.

Do what you want man. Just be prepared to take some crap if you go throw some huge rice wing on your car. I myself like the no spoiler look, I think it really cleans up the body lines. With a huge wing your gonna get crap like this amigo

if you really want a big CF wing then go look at either the Ings Z-power wing or get yourself a Voltex.

I was once at the stage that I wanted a big wing but these were the only ones that I would have rocked.

Honestly though, many people have come through and asked the same questions that you have and have gotten similar responses. Everyone has an opinion, and if you're asking for them, then you're most likely to get alot of responses like the ones you got.

just my $.02

I like the opinions, but when people flame the thread. That's pretty immature.

If you don't like it, say so politely. And if you have a problem with something, report it.

I had no idea Canadians cuss that much, I guess it is Americanized (or Jersey Shoreized) more and more.

As for spoiler on Deathwalkin's car, it's too small for my taste, I usually prefer something 3 times the size, as it is necessary when I drive the car at Mach 3 speed for down force.

If you are set on getting a big wing i say go with the APR, but it will look silly unless you add some other exterior mods
