It's stock?! I thought it would be something else...oh well. Anyway, did you install it yourself? Did you get the spoiler new or used? It looks nicer with it than without...just my opinion.

It does cut down the glare from the back window, so that's something.

+1, it gets serious when you drop the car and it looks like everything but a miata and a lotus has their highbeams on you.

Soo much burn, nice upgrade I did it myself too. But I think I should have saved up for the mazdaspeed spoiler, it's soo nice.

If I could just find a Mazdaspeed spoiler (white), for under $100, then I'll be jumping for joy...lol

It is, if nothing else, functional. The claim is a drag reduction from Cd = 0.30 to Cd = 0.29 though no claim was made regarding downforce, so I suspect it doesn't change that.
