I think it looks better than the real one...the reason: the fake metal brackets look BETTER than the real ones because the color of the fake brackets blends in better with the spoiler and doesn't stick out like on the real ones since the real brackets are shiny

Oh and a quick question...what kind of material is used to protect the hood from the spoiler install, on my factory spoiler it looks like black rubber (about an 1/8 of an inch thick)

Also...please give us a rundown of the cost again (spoiler, shipping, include the price of the painting eventhough they didn't charge you, installation, etc.) thanks, keep up the great mods

(I'll probably talk to you more about it one AIM)

 

materials used where from 3M
i bought the double sided 3m black looking strip like the stock spoiler.
and the shop highly reccomended this adhessive black tar looking glue that will
hold down the rear so it wont flap with air getting thru and such.thats maybe why so many people saw there wings wobble wobble.lol

spoiler was $250+$20 shipping+i was quoted for paint around 100-150 (i didnt pay that)
an dennis is working on aluminum stands if you desire.either way i saved a arm& leg
now the only problem is i want the ms kit more and more everytime i look at the wing
im even looking at the mirrors that i was never thinking of getting.
hit me up on aim im always on

Yeah, some 3M tape and clear silicon should do the trick. Since the legs are fiberglass, are they steady enough?

And not trying to get off topic... I like the polished gas door, where did u get it? And what size are your rims and tires, diameter/ width/ and offset. They good great, nice and flush with the car with big lip. If you don't mind telling that will be great.

 

Kel Rx8 has 20s on there...I'm proud of him for getting those to fit...ask him about the details

 

i just needed this pix uploaded

 

hey guys not to get off the subject but yeah
they are 20x9 front and 20x10 rear
toyo proxes 245/35/20 front and rear 275-30-20
chrome gas cover i got from rosenthal mazda they are a vendor here

thanks

Thanks for the info, Kel Rx8. Great Ride...

 

caroption.com is not a car site.

Where can you order from?

 

I just tried the website - caroption.com and www.caroption.com - and neither of them worked? is that the wrong web addr. or did these guys sink and go under? --Mark

 

you guys are forgeting the s

carsoption-ms spoiler $250

 

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

If we are making a list for the metal brackets, count me in as well. Nice ride Kel!

 

So does anybody know if this wing here has metal or fiberglass sides? any comment on which looks better? any reason why u wouldn't want fiberglass sides? i guess i haven't ever seen fiberglass sides, or haven't paid attention.

car options has fiberglass not metal

I dont know the big deal or difference

except the metal real ms is like 500 bucks more

 

its 500 bucks more because it says MazdaSpeed on it

 

huhsler
thanks bud


that company doesnt sell the rear spoiler just the rear under bumper.

 

Oh wow...i just relooked and that's the back part of the MS kit. Man, good looking out, i just assumed it was the wing. I want it in Carbon Fiber anyway, so that makes that easier. Thanks! --Mark

 

I had a list for the metal brackets. Including me it was like 5 people sofar. 6 including you. I need people to spread the word for the fabricators to even want to make the brackets.

 

heres one i took for my new exhaust
sorry i forgot to check the setting so pix is a bit dark

 

Put me down for a set of metal brackets.

 

Considering the price difference, I think that looks damn good after you get it painted and taped down you shouldn't be able to tell the difference if your not an "8" owner. I would love to see some pics after it's done. Thanks for being the G.P.

 

its been done for a while now
take a look at the pixs again
no problem about g.p

 

for $250 i'd say it was a pretty good deal, it looks pretty good.

 

Including you... we only have seven so far. I wonder if the car options guys were interested. ???

 

These are the people who want aluminum brackets for the wing. Again, this bracket is a four piece set and should be near identical to the factory design. The metal used I believe is aircraft aluminum called a grade-2. If you live in SoCal I have a sample of the aluminum material used. The target price is $45 but I need 15 people to justify the order with the fabricators... includes CAD and machining costs etc. Sofar on the list (please update):

legina
KelRX8
hushler

V300 <- myself are interested so far.

We are halfway there... unless Dennis has a machine shop that does not requires a 15 minimum order to keep the cost at $45.
