Gambit 04-01-2005 07:59 AM

Finding this:

I'm gonna guess it was unpainted, does anyone know what it costs to paint a spoiler?

The whole wing including the brackets are fiberglass. It cost around $250 shipped.
I bought the paint from a local auto paint store that mixed it up for me. That cost around $20 for a half-pint. Then I had my guys at the dealership paint and install it for around $50. I really lucked out getting it painted at Mazda! It's good to know people! :D

I gotta tell you I get jealous everytime I see your car. :p I can't wait to get back and start my upgrades. Great pictures. Yours is almost set-up the way I want mine. <sigh> Just a few more months... :(

xdrian 04-03-2005 09:08 PM

looks great! i wish i had extra money to dish out :(

Jag 04-04-2005 09:53 AM

Is there another version of this MS replica spolier that has alumiunum brackets? I'm not so thrilled about them being made of fiberglass.

I wasn't to thrilled about it either dude, but the FB brackets are VERY strong. The FB brackets aren't flimsy or feel like they can break easily. Metal brackets would be better, but for the money the wing is well worth it.

Mine is being fitted (carsoption one too) over the next few days, getting the de-badge of the boot finished off so without the car for a couple of days :( But will be worth it when it comes back.

PS. Your 8 is looking great :)

TxRx8 04-04-2005 06:52 PM

Hey orbist, didn't you have the ings wing on your 8?

orbist 04-05-2005 09:47 AM

Nope, had the CTD Germany one - aka inverted xmen :)

After the rest of the kit was installed I didn't think it suited the car so decided to try the carsoption replica instead - was a good excuse to get the rear de-badged as I needed the holes from the CTD spoiler welded and filled anyway!

TxRx8 04-05-2005 10:49 AM

Well, I can hardly wait to see your car Orbist! Make sure to post some pics! :D

P.s.
I like how people over there in the UK call the "trunk" a "boot." It sounds cool. :)

orbist 04-05-2005 04:07 PM

Will do!

LOL, I forgot to switch the language chip over! You all confuse me when you talk about hoods instead of bonnets, but I prefer hood!

It costed me 120 us dollars to get mine painted red.
