1. North American Moon spoiler
2. European "fuel saving" lip spoiler
3. X - Men "after market" spoiler

I'm getting option 2 'cause Mazda says so.
The X-Men thing is definitely a wing, although it can be hard to tell these days - the Mazdaspeed and Moon spoilers are some sort of wing-spoiler hybrid.

I quite like the Euro spoiler, which is a good job because I'll be stuck with it too.

looks pawn with out...so why change?

There's no spoilers on the market atm that satisfy my tastes.

*The euro lip if any would be my choice
*The stock spoiler is pointless and doesn't appeal 2 me
*The MS spoiler IMO ruins the cars beautiful lines
*The RMagic spoiler looks aight but still i think it looks better with out.

Thats why i won't be wasting my money

If the spoiler actually does something for aerodynamics or handling, ok, but if it is just for "looks" then absolutely no. How about some big tail-fins too?

Black with either stock spoiler or Mazdaspeed spoiler, or better yet, the R magic spoiler

It's a cosmetic decision that only you can make, but there are dozens of threads on this topic already - run a search.

(Nice family car collection BTW ).

Your Opinion on Spoiler Depot's Wing

I'm thinking of getting the wing from Spoiler Depot, and would like some feedback from anyone who has purchased one, specifically Velocity Red. Does the paint match well? Does it come with good installation instructions (with a template for holes, etc)? How difficult was your installation, besides the stress of drilling holes into your car?

They have a great price, but the extra money for a perfect paint match could be worth it.

Thanks for your input!

I'm pretty sure there is another thread on this. I think one of the people on there even has pics of his red spoiler. I've been looking at getting one from there myself. The thread had said that it was an exact match as far as they could tell (although it has been about a month since I've read it...)

Did the spoiler depot supply new struts for the bootlid's greater weight like the factory kit does?

A good question. I didn't even know about the upgraded struts, but it makes sense. That could be enough to justify the OEM purchase, rather than try to find a proper set at a retail parts store. I'll try to find out about that.

Sorry if this thread was addressed earlier, but I was curious about the Velocity Red match. The silver, green, gray and yellow would seem "easy" to match, but the metallic blue and red is pretty custom looking.

I got mine off of Spoiler Depot, and it is a perfect match. I also have Velocity Red. Check out my pics in the photo gallery - I uploaded a whole bunch last week.

In search for wing!

Anyone know of a universal wing that looks similar to the R Magic wing but doesn't cost over a thousand dollars? Below is the picture of the wing. Thanks in advance!

Try Spoilerdepot in 6 months or so, they may have a knock off by then.
