would this spoiler fit on my 04' rx8?

Hello guys,
just wondering would be "cheap" spoiler will fit on my 04' rx8

http://www.amazon.com/2004-2008-Mazd...1846650&sr=8-5

also the word written in the statement "Duraflex products feature a black primer finish," does this mean that the spoiler is painted in black?

since my rx8 is black, don't I have to paint it up?

i would suggest you not to buy a replica .....but if you want you can. Will it fit? Some fitting may be required by a professional body shop. BLACK PRIMER FINISH is BLACK PRIMER Finish..... not Brilliant Black like your RX8... Big Difference. Good Luck.

1000 bucks including paint is not bad... you get a flawless paintjob and dont have to worry about it matching or not fiitting compared to a replica. Not to mention that the wing is adjustable ... the replicas are not.

So pretty much you pay $700-somthing for the wing
and liek 300 for the paint- and i guarantee you its going to fit perfect.

If you have the money to spend that amount I suggest you do....

If you look at other body kits like VERTEX and RE AMEMIYA... they charge like 700-1200 just for the front bumper without fitment or paint. In the end you will be happy and the wing will have a higher resale value.

Dear friends we use a wing to create downforce on the rear of your car for traction. we use a spoiler to disrupt the air flow so that the car following you cannot draft. Tomorrows lession will be the difference between gravity and wind.. which one blows and which one sucks!

There are factory wings available in a number of places including eBay and usually somewhere for sale in this forum.

In fact, as we speak, I have a factory GT body kit on its way, from which I will be flipping the rear wing (already have one on the car). It's titanium gray for what that's worth, since you're painting anyway. Comes with complete instructions and whatever hardware is needed for mounting (I have some of the kit pieces already and can vouch that they're factory and have those instructions and hardware).

PM me if you're interested.

MazdaTrix will probably be your best bet, super friendly service and one of the best shops around, a little over $900 from them painted, http://www.mazdatrix.com/8exterior3.htm#wings
