"Raising" your OEM spoiler?
 
I've been searching for some time to possibly find a way to customize my oem spoiler by simply raising it, much like the Mspeed spoiler is raised by those two brackets. But I don't even know if this is going to be possible or what the pieces are even called that I would need to do it. Any input on this?

^ lol u have bad eye sight then.

idk if that would work or even look right to be honest.

Plenty of ways to raise it but they wont be pretty.

The issue with raising it, in my opinion, is that the OEM spoiler connects at the ends of the spoiler. So you would need to add your brackets at the end, and there would be no excess of spoiler past the brackets, which would look really weird!

Mm yea I sorta thought about that, but could I just drill holes into the spoiler a bit closer to the middle? Or would I just go straight through the top of it if I did that?

Or just buy the Mazdaspeed spoiler? :dunno:

imo it would look terrible, the stock wing is too skinny

Krazed_Rx8 05-07-2010 03:43 PM

The stock spoiler looks terrible either way... Just replace it.
Theres also plenty of aftermarket spoilers you could get... Or spoiler-less? :dunno:

several Japanese suppliers offer an aftermarket high mount wing with brackets that attach to the OE spolier mounting holes

to the OP.. changing your font is about the dumbest thing you can do on any forum, it doesnt make you a special flower, or unique snow flake.. it makes you a douche

Alright well thanks for the input guys, I'll probably just end up buying the mazdaspeed wing.

And to the boy who snuck onto his mommy's computer: quiet, grown-ups are talking. *cough*laythor*cough*
