I like it. Its kinda like the euro lip spoiler or whatever but a little lager. Nice and subtle. If i didnt have the factory wing on mine I would consider getting it.

I like this wing a lot. If i didn't have the stocker, this would be mine. Subtle yet classy. Not too outrageous like the MS wing or others.

I like it, but they need to offer it already painted. I doubt I would buy one unpainted --- too much hassle factor for me.

I'm pretty sure the spoiler fits in the same holes as the stock one. If this is the case, I may just have to get one. But yeah, not being painted really sucks. I think RB would be wise to make that option available. Anyone listening?? Check some of the other posts about the kit. If you didn't have the spoiler, that's the only drilling you'd have to do for the whole kit I believe.

I like that wing - not too over the top.

I like it very much!

I don't like those 4x4 sized rear wings that block your rear view. I also saw one that looked intergrated into the RX8 that looked very nice too. Where was that....???

Could have just been the Euro spec lip spoiler.


The thing I like most about this wing is that you CAN get function out of a design that is subtle and nowhere close to over the top like so many. I don't have any, but I am a very big fan of Racing Beat's products and their philosophy behind them.

Yes that is the kinda wing that should be on this car.

I had one similiar to it on my maxima but smaller.

True that wing actually has function, those other lunch box handles do absolutely nothing but get in the way when trying to back up.

I would like to order one... Where can you get it?

It reminds me of the G35 Coupe Spoiler. It looks ok on the 8 though--I hate G35c with spoilers.
