My X Wing RX8
I've had my 8 for a year now and have struggled with rattling problems in the front brakes but have finally installed the wing that I wanted. It's the spoiler from the Xmen 2 movie. Get lots of complements on it and now want to get a new grill. Hate the plastic, it's a pain to clean. Would like some different ideas. Looked at mesh and saw a cool metal horizontal looking grill with rx8 on it. If anyone has some grill tips. Please let me know. Preciate it.

Personally, I like it, and always have since I watched the movie. Nicely done on doing something you like and sticking with it. All the people saying to lose it, it's thier own opinion and thier own likes. Go with what you like and great for you!!

I like it too. And no, its not upside down, thats installed the same way as in the movie.
Here's my front grill
I have since replaced the zip ties with chrome allen head machine bolts.
Good luck with your mods!

yes
yes, one 90 y/o at church one day said it's upside down. It looks good in person and is different. That's why I got it. Different. I had the mazda spoiler that looked like "a hump" and kept being complemented on my Eclipse. Was sick of it (not a Mitsubishi Eclipse fan btw). I had to take drastic measures. I'm going to take a new pic of it at a different view, it looks to evasive from that angle. It's very sturdy, it vibrates slightly on the tips above 110 mph, but had to squint in my rear view mirror to see it. A bit of a pain to wash, wax, and dry. But overall love it for setting it apart from the others in my area. Wanna see more pics of others with the same wing too. Holla again lata, Josh
