Hey kel did you had any probs with the fiberglass brackets so far??Are strong enough for big speeds??Or my wing will go straight at the hood of the car behind??? I am ordering mine today and i must send a cheque with 400$ cause i am in Europe and i have 150 for shipping.... I wonder in how many days i will have it...Why these guys don't answer in their emails quick??So much job??Just lucky 1euro is 1.25dollars :D :D

I am going to paint the wing in velocity red and i ll chrome the brackets..if i have probs with driving it i will go to make aluminum brackets...I ll post pics too.Thanks kel for all the info friend nice job.

I'm still thinking about this wing

Kel Rx8

thankyou buddy, no problems at all i luv this wing
just make sure you order it from the same place i got it.philodox got a replica from carbon creations and he was not to happy with it at all.
but just hold out for it the wait is worth it.let me know when u get it on.
p.s you have the stock spoiler ? meaning holes

Kel Rx8

sorry i didnt get into more details
at any speeds i have had no problems.those fiberglass are thick and strong.im positive if a rock ever hits it wont even make a dent.moral of story no problems
no worries no regrets.
p.s damn i hope im not jinx's myself
time to go check the bolts and adjust the wing down
thanks

No Kel i don't have any holes in my trunk cause i have a lip spoiler!
The only bad is that they don't answer fast in emails...Very bad for me cause i can't phone them.....I am waiting like mad...After that a good set of 19s or supppppperlight 20s and Veilside hood .....I wonder how A Veilside bodykit would look like with the mazdaspeed wing?????!!!!!
Kel 4 another time i LOVE your Rims man.Greattttttttt!!!!

Kel Rx8

thanks man its great to know some rx8 memebers like it so much makes me proud
thanks again
what i reccomend is u get a template if u dont have the stock holes.p/m for more details i
think i can help u out or give you a good idea.i had a stock spoiler(looks to me like a eclipse wing lol) so i had the predrilled holes.

GrRx8MaZdA

Damn.The people in carsoption don't answer my emails and i am waiting like stupid right now..Why they do that??I am waiting their final mail to send them the money...Why people???So busy??Well i could use a phone number...

When are they going to answer me???

Kel do you have a phone number of the carsoption???i can use it right now...Is any other place where i can purchase a replica ms wing??

Shocka

ive been thinkin about it and i want this wing, i just dont have the stock wing and would need to get the holes drilled.

as an estimate what do you guys think i should pay for Paint and installation of the spoiler from a body shop?

sgrenesis

not sure if this is the right place to ask.
is there any way you can tell the difference between an aftermarket an a original MS spoiler even if you went really close?

Kel Rx8

making the predrilled holes is a easy thing all you have to do is ask a forum member here to send you or get a copy of the mazdaspeed paper template.

anywhere from $75-150

Kel Rx8

it was some what of a playing email tag but it was worth it
last time i talked to him i told him if all works out with wing there will be more members buying from him.
when i received the package i told him i was happy and he wanted me to let everyone know he has more instock.so if u want shoot him a message that i was the 1st person to buy the wing.(except for the guy on ebay that paided close to $500 ouch)lol
im sure it will all work out but i dont believe i have a phone # if i remeber every email takes 4-5 days

OR...you could always make your own. It's not difficult provided you can measure accruately and do a bit of math. Also, another way to mark things is to assemble it and place it on your trunk lid and mark the holes. If they are hidden, the bolts that go through the trunk lid can be used by placing rolled up masking tape on the bottom of the holes and then putting the spoiler in position which will leave the masking tape in the correct positions. Remember, even if you are slightly off, this area will be covered from sight.

I once drew up this dagram that helps to explain if you want to do the measuring and marking without a template.

thanks im thinkin order now and wait til march to put it on.. that way i pay for it now and install later doent make sense to put it on now ne way with the winter coming

Kel Rx8

Just want to let everyone know that the wing is holding up great
and no worries at all even though many ad's say that it has come off on the highway
and hit a car
great ad though what ever sells
anyone have any more questions just p/m or aim me
thanks

Thanks for answering the PM's Kel. My wing turned up last week - 5 days to ship to the UK and the quality is v v v good for fiber-glass replica. Its down with the bodyshop guys now, and the car is going in beginning of april to get the boot-lid debadge finished, this fitted and my real MS mirrors fitted, can't wait. Here's a couple of pics - its just lying on the boot-lid hence the gaps (and the bolts were all still in place so they push the front up)

looks real good
post some after pics

kills me the mirrors cost twice as much as the spoiler

orbist

Even more of a multiplier for me as the carsoption wing worked out just over £120 with the current exchange rate. They've reduced it to $229 at the mo.

Got the MS mirrors off ebay - UK MS distributer put them up and I eventually won them for £310, which is about £100 under normal UK shipped price.

So almost 3x the cost!!! Still, looking forward to seeing it all done.

Maybe some tints and that's it!!! (Unless a new rear comes on the market that finally does it for me!)
