uhh... that's not autobahn. that is the ings trunk spoiler.
autobahn doesn't have a spoiler.
and uhh... mazdaspeed is a trunk two piece spoiler. it is in no way, "low profile." but that pic you have for mazdaspeed/racing beat is racing beat.

i like the mazdaspeed the most, but its just way too expensive. i will get it sooner or later though. haha *trying to save money....
by the way hows the fitment of that carbon fiber mazdaspeed style wing? im thinking of that too.

imo if you have the stock appearance package, the ms wing would make it look too rear heavy. I think a low profile lip spoiler would look nice depending on the kit. But if you're planning to keep your stock appearance pkg, I would suggest evo-r rear lip spoiler, or no wing. It all depends on what you're planning to do with the rest of the body.

I like this one. It gives the car appeal. 
In all serious though. I really like the INGS lip spoiler It looks really really good on Zoom Zoom car. Nice job man.

BTW - the MS wing looks great with the appearance package....I was hesitant myself to change out the OEM spoiler with the MS until some forum peeps posted some pics....it really looks great...
*also, before you make the decision, if you have the OEM..make sure what you replace it with covers the original holes....if not you will have to plug and paint.. also there may be some scratches from the oem...I was lucky in that i didnt have any...several forum peeps did
* the MS wing covers the OEM holes, no problem...some lips do not..
* the MS style CF fitment: I had to make some adjustments but got it to work..supposedly it bolts on using the original holes.....NOT!!!
but all in all...i really love it...it was worth the fitment issues....

if you want accurate results with this poll, you should make some changes and list them correctly...ie list MS and RB separately

I can show you every wing made, and pics of horrible they look. No matter which one... factory, jump, low lip, mazdaspeed, and even no wing.
If the wing doesn't match the rest of the car it just doesn't look right.
On the flip side, if the wing matches your ride... most of them look great.
