Looks like this is what you want GTC-200 or GTC-300
the one in your link seems to have the extended risers

the lower ones like the M Speed tend to block your vision to the rear .... so I've read

You have to make new holes on the rear. If you have the oem spoiler, you need to remove them and cover the holes for those, or else, when it rains, your trunk will look like an aquarium, lol

Kognition design also makes good wings, better stuff than apr. However, since you're afraid to drill a couple of holes that wing's not even an option for you.

Well my 8 already has a spoiler. I was hoping it would be a good match.

I got the wing from this site

I could have sworn that wing bolts up to where the factory spoiler holes are. Why else would Mazdatrix put (wing comes with RX8 specific hardware)? then that would mean any wing comes with rx8 specific hardware even though its just normal bolts?

That tall of a wing is so unnecessary, especially if your car is only street driven. IMO i think it looks terrible, but if thats the look you want go for it. I think you should atleast check out some other style of spoilers/trunk lips if you havent already.

If you go with a spoiler i would NOT go with TCS sportline, this is alittle unfair because i have never seen their product but i have seen cheap spoilers wobble and sway like it was plastic. Go APR and they mount up over the existing holes and get the 2.5mm risers that will match the top of the wing to the top of the roofline. your looking for the GTC200 from APR.
