I like the R-Magic ('99-'02 FD style) spoiler on the RX-8, EXCEPT that I don't like how there's the bottom piece that also stretches across the length of the trunk.

THAT part I don't like..

Vivid Racing too, but they may be higher. Call all vendors. You could get lower pricing than what is listed.

For those that like the Supra style spoiler. Auto Craft sells risers...

I saw that. So that is just an 09'+ spoiler with risers? Any idea on price? It looks good with that aggressive car but I'm not so sure how it would look on a more mild 8.

That looks a little like a Subaru WRX STI wing... as if it was bent or something.

I was thinking evo v wing. but the top is too bent, it might just be a cheap spoiler from duraflex or something like that. i dont know of any car other than the evo that has a spoiler like this. subarus wings are too roundish and that sti is a prototype.

This looks really nice, would have to see from the sides/front to tell how good it really looks but I definitely like it in the picture.

This is awesome! I ALMOST wish I had waited on getting my wing done so I could have found these. Doing a quick google search though I couldn't find auto craft's website or really any other information on these? From the pics they are only for 2nd Gens? Can you lead us to where they're sold?

S2 trunks/rear fenders are the same. Pretty sure they have the same spoiler holes, except the R3 spoilers are slightly.. taller.. towards the middle, they have alittle more UMPH in that area, but slightly. you wouldnt be able to notice unless you parked next to one and compared.

I did not see the risers or their new body kit on sale yet. Just saw pics on their blog but I believe they are going to sell them in 2012.

This is the GTO wing on my 8. it looks low profile at this angle but it actually isnt that low from a rear angle view. Ive had it for about three years now but Im ready for a change, something not bulky , but low like the INGS spoiler lip.

I have to say, that is a strong wing (GTO). I use the one on my car to hand pull the car in the driveway. The wing nor the trunk flexed while I did this.

Yep. Someone would need to look at the S1 and S2 spoilers to see the the base is the same and the holes are the same.
