I'm looking for a wing for my RX-8 that was used by another car. I like the high arch style like a 98 Mitsubishi Eclipse. My question is has anyone seen any RX-8's with wings/spoilers from other cars? I'm particularly interested in the wings used on the SRT-4 although I have no measurements and I am leary the wing will be higher than the roof.

I have seen other RX-8's using the GTO (Monero) wing (don't like). Ive seen an RX-8 with a 2000+ Toyota Celica wing (looked good), and I've seen the Mitsubishi EVO wing as well (too high/big). I'm just hoping someone has maybe seen another car's wing used on the RX-8 that looked good and fit?

 

I thought about trying the RX7 FD R1. I never got a hold of one to see if it would fit. I did go with the GTO wing.

 

Try FD veilside GT wing if you don't like something that's high.
Personally I prefer voltex/apr gt wing or evo 8 wing.

 

^ do they even make voltex wings for rx8s Never liked that look but its growing on me.

 

Voltex-gt-wing-3

 

I put a 2010 R3/GT spoiler on my Shinka... Does that count???

 

I've seen an evo wing on an rx8. Need to find that photo on this site.

 

can i say fail?

 

The only wing i really liked was the R magic pro staff... then i sold it

 

^ +1 it does look good, i've seen it in person.. why you sold it?

 

I just ordered a GTO wing for $28 Does it mount up to all 6 holes in the trunk from the stock spoiler? Or will I have to cap some off?

 

No it will not. Mine came with studs in the mounting holes. I used blue painters tape and a tape measure to get the holes right. I triple checked the location before drilling the holes.

 

Oh damn for some reason I thought I read somewhere it fit. Thanks for the quick reply! I'm going to cancel my order.

 

"it fits" as in "it sits on the trunk". would be pretty silly if there were universal mounting holes for spoilers on all cars.

 

Evo 8 wing:

^not too bad. A bit too angular imo.

 

^+1

If it were a lower height it would flow better. Too high doesn't look good for a spoiler, just comes off too much rice like. A functional wing is another matter.

 

The Evo spoiler is lower than the roof of 8, can you see it sitting at about 8/10 height of the rear windshield.
From a lower angle, which is how the photos were taken, it looks high, but it's not.

 

Yes, you are entitled to your opinion!

WOW I love the way that looks and being in carbon fiber it would match my hood BUT I'm willing to bet said and done that wing cost more than $1,500. Am I close?

My 8's trunk is at a body shop now getting de-badged and re-winged. I liked the way the SRT-4 wing looked sitting on the trunk so I pulled the trigger on it. I'll get pics up when I get it back. Kinda skeptical though It's a body shop I've never used or been to before and he offered to mount the wing too so I may regret it after its all said and done. But he did a car that sold through a Barrett Jackson auction and it looked pretty sweet so I guess no gutz no glory...

 

Whoa...great find! Where did you order it from? Just curious. I'm still looking for a spoiler for my rx8.

 

I dont much care for the angular spoilers. I'd love to see something more rounded - like the one from a GSX. I think it would look almost like an FD.



I wouldn't mind going higher than the stock RX8 spoiler, though.

 

Actually, it fit's nicely. There just isn't any pre-made locations (or a template) for drilling holes. Also, the GTO spoiler has a 3rd brake light. None of the Mazda style spoilers have this. So, a hole has to be made to accommodate that feature.

I paid $49 for mine. Shipping was $50. This was 5 yrs ago. It took me 1.5 yrs to get the courage to try to install it.

 

Check, LS1Tech.com or PontiacTalk.com. There may be someone taking one off that they would giveaway.

 

Okay well after a little over a week and many delays my trunk lid is finally prepped and ready for paint. Whether you like it or not I'm fairly confident no one else will have an SRT-4 wing on their RX-8 trunk. Suffice it to say that the SRT-4 trunk and wing is a different shape than the RX-8's trunk is. At any rate after some custom modification here is where it sits today before paint. I'm told it should be done tomorrow afternoon I guess we'll see...
