I like it. I think the front, forward facing ends would look better if they were extended longer. But looks good.

I like it too! Maybe a bit bigger would be more functional.

Yeah- mine protrudes a little more forward.

However- I still think yours (fazzt73) looks DAMN good!

I'd be happy with either style, if the price was right. I agree that the longer ends do look a little better, though.

That looks way, WAY better than the IMSA spoiler.

I like it as it is. It's subtle. Also, it doesnt obstruct the antennae; requiring a hole be put in it.

I like it. I'll probly buy one, if the price is right. Only thing I'd like different, would be longer protruding ends, and maybe a little more angle, for more downforce.

Mine is similar also & functional in recomended ways. I removed it when it installed the wide body & it is FOR SALE. Yours is MUCH easier to ship due to smaller extensions. Nice work.

looks good, but like almost everyone else said, the sides should be extended longer, some go as far as all the way to the front side of the rear corner window...look up at snapshot's pic.

i have been looking for some time now, for a spoiler that is larger than this one, but not as large as the HUGE imsa spoiler you see on the wide body's....something in between, fairly large. they sell what im talking about i believe at mazdatrix, but not mariah or victoria british. if you can make that, i'd definately be interested.

Looks perfect, nice and subtle.

What are we looking at for cost on a carbon fiber one?

It would work great with manntis' carbon fiber hood.

I personally like how little it protrudes forward, i wish it had more "ducktail effect" and protruded rearward a little more.

Looks real good. I personally like the big ducktails that protrude forward a lot, but that one you made there looks good.

I'm not usually a big fan of aftermarket spoilers, but the stock JDM 12at (GT-X models whatever) are my favorite and I plan on getting one eventually. Yours is pretty close, and I think it looks okay, but IMO, I like this type better:
