Looks MS, but I think this is a trick question...

It's not. The rivets on the post is blue... and that looks like a Greyish pillar attached to the wing, and the MS one has shinier metal look to it.

It is a M-speed copy with Ti painted uprights and Anodized blue fasteners. With a little work it fit perfect. I forgot where I got it from. I will have to find my reciept.

Is there only one adjustment hole in the copy? Mine (original) have four adjustment points for tilting the wing

Good copy btw, but can still tell easily it is a copy with our owners. Can fool untrained eyes easily

it's not - because the trunk spoiler isn't flush against the trunk, it sticks out.

The screws could have been changed, so I wouldn't use that as a determination.

Not going to fool too many rx-8 owners, but it is a pretty nice copy. Any pics with the rest of the car?

I'll post more pics as soon as I get my other 2 wheels. Waiting on the proper offset for the rears from Japan(Volk 19" GTC's). I bought from caroption.com
There are 3 adjustment holes.

Umm

It is MS.
bolt is painted, or thought to change it into the bolt which a blue color was attached to.
There is a color of MS as much as it is the same as the color of the car.
The wing of white and red is in MS, too.
