Does anyone have this spoiler?

http://www.thespoilerfactory.com/pag...year=2004-2006

It's rather large I think, but I want to put something on that won't lower the visibility. About how tall does a spoiler have to be to either be seen over or under form the drivers seat. It looks like you could easily look under this spoiler? Can you easily see over the MS Spoiler? Do you even see it in your mirror?

If you're worried about visability, I wouldn't suggest a spoiler (period).

true, I'm not really thinking about it, just wondering. The x-men style wing looks like it would also give good visibility?

That has to be the most butt ugly thing I've ever seen hanging on the back of an eight.

I took pictures from inside of the car to show what you will see in your mirror and window when you have the MS spoiler. https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...highlight=wing

I actually read your thread when it was first posted and thought to myself, "now why didn't I do that"....a picture is the best way to answer people's questions.

I know that I constantly have to adjust my position in my seat to see around (above/below) my MS wing. It seems to be exactly where I had previously looked to watch out for highway patrol. The MS wing definately reduces my "cop catching" abilities.

you can see it, but it only sticks up an inch or two....the weird thing is when you're chaning lanes lookin out the back window you see the end stickin up and if you look real quick you think it's another car. btw, if you're gettin it, get the one on ebay and save yourself 50 bucks, it's the same thing

EVO yes... exactly my same thought

crisis. The MazdaSpeed spoiler is ok when it is laid flat (you may not notice it is there). When you tilted to the 2nd highest position (which I have now). You will block about 30% of rear view and you cannot see the light of the car behind you.

I think 30% is stretching it a bit...... but it does block the lights behind me which I happen to like. :D
