CA Whats your opinion of the Racing Beat Type 1 rear spoiler?

Im gonna be replacing my rear spoiler soon ( it's broken) and I was looking for something aftermarket that is mild, not too crazy, but classy. I came across this Racing beat Type 1 rear spoiler which appears to have a stock look, but is slightly more aggresive. My FD's body is stock, so I dont want a spoiler that will look like it doesn't belong or is too big. It's not a HUGE difference but I can tell it's a little higher and the price isn't too bad. Does anybody here have this spoiler or have an opinion?

I personally think that rear wing looks really odd.

It's not bad. It's basically a more aggressive looking R1 wing. IMO, it looks better than the R1 wing, and I'm not just saying it because my car has one.

That spoiler is HOT! I like it, I have made my desicion and this is what I want. It still looks factory, but it slightly improves the stock look, and makes the car appear a little more exotic in my opinion, without looking "Ricerish" which is what I DON'T want. I read that the mounting locations for this spoiler are NOT in the factory locations, which means it requires some customizing to get it installed correctly?

I like the 99 spec rear wing with the ODULA centerpiece.

Mine was on the car when I got it so I have no idea (along with a few other RB products). I would recommend emailing Racing Beat. They are always very helpful.

I thought about getting a 99 rear spoiler but unfortunatley, it's out of my price range, unless I can find a replica of some sort

Ive seen this wing many times in person and it looks bad on any body style fd. Its to big, sits way to high and does not fit the car in any way shape or form. If you need a wing save up and get the 99 spec one or another r1.

C1 Wing

Hi, whats the C1 look like in reality. I have only ever seen pics of this one car with the C1 wing and looks hot, but I have seen one comment saying its way too big. http://www.rotaryart.uk.com/acatalog..._body_kit.html

I find it humorous that you say the RB Type I wing is big, and then you recommend the '99 Spec wing which is even bigger.

I currently have a Racing Beat Type I spoiler too. I really like it on the FD. I think it fits perfectly. If you get a side shot of it, it looks even better.

My list of faves:
99spec wing
RB Type I wing
RB Type 2 wing

and lol at above

I also got the RB type 1 as it reminded me of the factory spoiler but just a little bigger. I think it fits in with the lines of the car pretty well.
