Anybody have the Mint Blue wing installed? (pic request)

Anybody have the Mint Blue wing installed? Painted or unpainted. There is a pic on their site but it is on a white RX-8 which is a bit unrealistic until next year's models roll around.

well something unfortunate happened to me today...My trusty 98 Accord V6 died on me and I barely made it home. After I drop off the Accord at the dealer, I'm going to the mazda dealer with my friend (in that order). I think as soon as the accord gets out of the shop, I'm going to take off the body kit and then trade it in for the RX-8. I have looked at other cars and I will be test driving the 8 as one of them.

Back on topic, I saw that pic of the white RX-8 with the mint blue spoiler on their site but white will not be a realistic color until next year. I was hopefully someone with a silver or titanium grey would have one installed, wouldn't matter if it was painted or not.

SHOWOFF: do you have a link for the GB? I'll hunt for it on this site. I wasn't expecting to get a car this soon. I was going to wait 6 months and save up to pay cash for my next car but it looks like everything has been pushed ahead so that is what I'll probably do within a couple weeks.

I plan on painting it. I may order the fiberglass one, the only issue is that by the time it is prepped and ready I'll probobly have less money in a painted CF one.

Does the wing come with a template to tell you where to drill? Also, do the sides hit the trunk when you close it? It looks really good on black. I was thinking Winning Blue or the new white that's coming out , but definitely an '05. thanks for the pics!

Nice ride thats the only spoiler i would consider for the RX8 both the MAZDASPEED and the stock spoiler make the car look lame IMHO .

What type of Ecu have you got in your privately imported RX8 ???

cheers
