I was being helpful. Just showing how easily it could go wrong.

I do agree photomonkey's car looks well put together. You need the right kit, wheels and stance to pull off a GT wing on a RX-8.

Just steal a park bench from your local park. Cheaper and more cost effective.

don't hate, look at the GT-R


aero parts are 95% not funtional. It's often for the looks. When you put something on your car and people laugh at it, that means you did something that brings joy to others. Which is a good thing if you look at it from the bright side. That's how I feel on my car, some people like it, some don't. Just do whatever fits your life style.

My car is being rebuilt at the minute. ive started a theard in the photo section.

The car is getting a modified bhr turbo once accessport is finished for the euro cars. Small shot of NOS. Adjustable suspension. Striped out back seats with a cage. and is gonna be a show/track car. I would attempt a 13b rew conversion but its alot more cost effective to go down this route. and i dont want a big single turbo on a 13b rew as i want a small hybrid turbo which is alot more usable on the track

Im not asking should i get the wing im asking what size. The hoop spoilers look absolutely terrible, the mazdaspeed one is very common but the only other good looking one.

Does anyone know what side speedsource use?
