You had me going until the 2nd and 6th pix.

Wings like that are frowned upon up here, not by the cops, but by the \"Good Taste Police\" and you just got busted.

I still can\'t understand why people install those rear wings!!

active3s

To be honest, did not like the OEM sport spoilers and did not find anything else that called my attention. I did ask around and had a 7 out of ten liking how it looked. but then again these where people who drive EVO, FC 13B, Mustang, and other variaty. So far I have only seen another 3 but 5 door with rally white paint.

Answers to questions:

Hell no I did not own a honda. I was a Toyota freak.
I owened a \'80 1.8 3T-C for a bit with Mikunis carb, Custume exhaust, and a few other stuff the shop hooked me up with. After that I got to be lucky enough to find a \'85 4A-GE(AE-86) in great condition wich i totalled at a red light. Had to get rid of both because got married.

Yes you might be right. A bit to much. but is just temp. for now.

I do appriciate the comments do.

Welcome to TM3! I personally am not a fan of the spoiler or the cosmo racing emblem on the engine bay, but to each his own.

I\'d suggest going ahead with even more radical mods - wide fender flares, full GFX package and paint. Follow it up with nitrous kit and adjustable coilover suspension.
Tien springs are well regarded for the Mazda 3 and KW makes a good coilover package - not sure if they\'ve produced one for the Mazda yet. The wing by itself doesn\'t complete the look - I think I know where you are going with this...it\'s your vision and your car. Do what impresses you.

Some dweebes dissed the early hotrodders - they just didn\'t get it. PS - red is a HOT color! Cheers!:p

Thanks Bud. As a matter of fact. I am in that direction. But not with the wide kit or anything like that. But I am planning the body kit by June. I am still waiting on my springs. I was previously doing skunk2 sport springs but did not like their warranty. So i am waiting for the Eibach Sport-line instead..
Oh Yeah

since you ask for feedback...i say, no body kit for Mz3 will do justice on that spoiler...its just plain wrong... goodluck with your future mods

A \"Rear Wing\" and a \"Front Spoiler\" walk into a bar.........

I think the wing is too big.

thekid

I agree that the rear wing is too big for street use, but should he actually track that car and the wing is installed correctly, it would provide downforce while cornering at high speeds (yes even in a FWD car) as you don\'t want the rear wheels to be unloaded while going through corners at 160+ km/h... this is why FWD Speed World Challenge cars have rear wings that are completely functional.

My guess this is just there for looks, and that\'s too bad because it does nothing for me.

I actually like the rear wing.. I think I\'m the only one.. :p I think it looks good..

and everything else is looking but I don\'t like the different color fuel door.. I think it would be better if it were painted to the same color as your car..

and how the hell do you open ur trunk?? the wing is in the way!! I like the wing but maybe you should forget the trunk and just go thru the seats..

active3s

01-02-2006, 11:07 AM

yes, its just for looks.. I dont think I will ever put it on a track. Thank you for the comments.
Now, I hope we finish with the park bench jokes, how about everything else and suggestions...(please leave the wing out of it):D

Same way as I use to. key or from drivers. I made sure to measure correctly in order to keep rear window clear as you could see on the pictures at my site..

Did your GT GFX come with 16\" rims? and Are the Toyos the tires that came stock?

if so, i would take of the 2.3 sticker

i give you props for coming back here again and again with that wing!
i think, if you want that wing to suit ur car, u need a crazy crazy crazy body kit,
and a flux capacitor!
