Tit. w/ Carbon MS Wing

Well somepeople wondered how it would look, so I though i would go ahead and be the guinea pig and go for it. The wing is from Rotary extreme and the quality is awesome, yet installation took some struggling to get the bottom element to flatten out (it was slightly bowed down at first). But with a little heat gun and some muscle, it did flatten out. Anyways heres the pics, tell me what you think. P.s. ive never posted a pic before, so here it goes....

Ok the pics are too big, and i do not know how to compress them. So if someone wants me to email them to him, I can, otherwise i someone could pm me and tell me how to compress them that would work too. Sry to tease you guys like this...

Did you clear coat it before installing? Do you have to?

the wing looks awesome, but I don't really care for it on Ti. Not even sure if I'd like it on black..

Its made by Rotary Extreme, and no i didnt clear coat the trunk (not really sure if u need to). I did wash the trunk with some detergent and rmoved all the wax before..otherwise the tape prolly would not have stuck very well. The exhaust is a Borla. I had just polished it with BlueMagic polish (that stuff is awesome!). I got the wing for about $700 shipped.

If you're going to put on other CF components, such as CF Hood, then yes, it definitely match up to your car.

Im thinkin I may paint the lower element of the wing and leave the top carbon fiber. I think it may be the right mix.

Looks awesome. I have the same color RX-8 and I've always wondered what the wing would look like. My dad almost bought an MS wing a couple of weeks ago, but I had to remind him we're gonna be dirt-poor at the end of the month.

You don't really need to clear coat it because it comes clear coated already.
