More rear spoiler pics?

I am thinking about adding the rear spoiler to my car, and I don't want to procrastinate too long. The problem is that I have not seen any pics of it other than the rear pic of the black car at the Minneapolis auto show, and I want to make sure I like it before calling my dealer.

I ordered Titanium. Does anybody have spoiler pics on different colored cars....and maybe taken at some different angles?

You can go to this website and check the colors and spoiler and so on...

I will attach some pics of spoilers. Enjoy, Norberto.

These were the Mazda options.... The standard "lip spoiler" which we (Europeans) will get is much smaller, nearly not visible...

I like the look of the lip spoiler, seems to be very clean and unobtrusive. I prefer it to the Mitsu eclipse/St. Louis Arch knock- off, and the MazdaSpeed piece just looks out of proportion.

I guess I prefer the clean understated look.

I have to agree with red_base. While I think the standard spoiler is relatively tasteful and looks pretty good, I fell in love with the RX-8 BEFORE the spoiler. And truth be told, one of the things I love is the clean, flowing lines of the car. That spoiler would spoil that for me (pun intended:D ).

I specially liked the "Gateway arch" part of it. As I said: I believe the U.S./North America version comes WITHOUT a spoiler, the European version should be with lip spoiler as standard fit...

I really like the lip spoiler, too.....

i really like the lip spoiler. i wish it'd come w/ the gt-package in the 'states. too bad. i like the mazdaspeed one, too, though i think it'd only look good with the rest of the msp body kit

Thanks for the pics, but I was hoping for a side shot with the "arch" spolier.

I wish we could get the lip spoiler in the U.S.. I like that the best. It is the most tasteful looking one IMO.

I think I'll hold off on the spoiler and maybe get an aftermarket one. I would assume that some company will be selling the european lip spoiler version aftermarket?

I agree with the both of you B-Nez! IMHO, the RX-8 looks the best in only two ways, either "naked" :D (in original form) or as the complete MazdaSpeed. Nothing in between. Even so, I like the original the very best.

EASTMOON: yeah... thats looks like the RE-Amemiya rear Spoiler-GT (Carbon Fiber??)

in stock form i dont think it will look nice... just my .02
but with a body kit, if any, it will look better...

I second what DTECH, B_NEZ and Red_base have said... but I like the mazdaspeed body kit and wing better... :D

take a trip to the UK later this year. find an rx-8 in the color that matches yours. relieve that rx-8 of its lip spoiler and bring it back home in your luggage......




.....on second thought that seems kinda complicated. :p you might be able to order it through your dealer or an aftermarket supplier at some point and it would probably cost less
