MS, or big wing:

I got a scrape on the bumper, and insurance will paint it. Along the way, I want to get a wing on ebay, and cant decide between a Mazdaspeed copy, and a big wing like the racers use.

Or the stock style:

I may combine with the MS body kit:

You are going to find that, most people on this forum, hate the big wings. They refer to them as park benchs. If I was to total build up a show car, I would probably get one.

Unless your turning your 8 into a racecar... don't get the park bench.
Mazdaspeed spoiler would "look" better.

Go with the stock spoiler or Mazdaspeed. The first one is ugly and doesn't belong on an RX-8.

Anything that's "universal" doesn't belong on the 8. Can't go wrong with stock or MS

The only reason why the stock doesn't look good would be because you have an aggressive body kit on it that would make the stock spoiler look to be not enough.

Silverrx8, use caution when purchasing (a) knock-off(s) as you may have fitment difficulty(s).

Ah c'mon guys, that big wing has lots of uses, for instance when joining tailgate parties, you have somewhere to seat yourself and friends . . . or in the event of a spontaneous hang gliding itch, you can detach it and use it . . . makes a great place for birds to sit and crap all over your car . . . I have heard it helps when being scooped up by various tornados . . . the ricer crowd will accept you immediately . . . if you live near the beach, you can use it as a surfboard. Moral of the story - don't get the parkbench!

Here it is:

The Mazda speed looks good, but it feels small to me. The metal adjustemnt bracket is a little too ricer for me.

I saw a thread on a Celica wing graft, and I kind of like it,

you wanted a big wing or a mazdaspeed wing at first, but say the ms is too rice? tough choice. Yes just go get a celica wing, it'll solve your problem.

Absolutely correct. I have the MS replica kit and when it was installed, I had the OEM spoiler. It didn't look bad or anything, but it just didn't look great. I got the MS replica wing and now it looks awesome.

I really don't want the big big wing, but all of the stock and MS ones are just a little small for a body kit.
