looks like a decent spoiler man. Personally I like the GTU spoiler myself, but thats probably because I have one and I think it looks sweet. Its really up to you. Please don't rice your car out though.

Sorry but i think that it looks like crap. Why ruin that beautiful rx7 body line with that tinfoil lookin piece of crap. Thats just my opinion. I would find something that looked like it belonged to the car and not something you stuck on it ya know?

I agree with the GTU wing.
BUT remember there are 2 kinds: the 88 Style, or the 89 and up style which is a lil bit bigger. Goth will look good on your car, and it will still be original.

not a bad wing. i personaly wouldnt put it on my car, but i dont want a wing at all so... if you like it man, get it. for all those that think aluminum wings dont look good on FCs, remember that alot of jap tuners like RE Amemiya, Panspeed, and others put them on their cars and they look sweet IMO.

I think the wing will look good if the car is low and has race/drift car style. I dont like half assed cars with Alum. wings, but all the cars ive seen in Option and Drift ten Goku with them look good. I guess it just depends on what the rest of the car looks like.

sorry buddy, but my opinion is - ITS UGLY!! Go to your local rice meeting and see how many of them have that exact spoiler. I'll bet at least 5 cars will have one. I know you're trying to get a tasteful one by keeping it low profile, but rice is rice. Analogy? A small mugen power sticker is just as bad as a large mugen power sticker if the car has no mugen parts. It's up to you, it's your car, and it reflects your tastes and opinions. I'd personally go for a GTU wing, or that sweet RE-AMEMIYA wing that's up for auction right now on EBAY :P Seems rather pricey for me tho

If your going for looks get what you like. Who cares what everyone else thinks. If your going for functionality, your wasting your money.
And for the record, there is big difference between a spoiler and a wing.
Just being a little ****.

Mazda had (count em) five different spoilers.
ANY of these will look great on the back of your car:
89+ Turbo II/GTU style
87 Turbo II "lip" spoiler
mazdaspeed "flat" spoiler
mazdaspeed "larger" rear spoiler
convertible "wing" type spoiler
Have a looksee through this albumn and you'll see some of the ones I'm talking about:

Hey have you thought how you are gonna mount the spoiler on the 7? We don't have egnough clearence to mount the spoiler on our rear. You need to build a custom L shape mount in order to safely mount the spoiler.
If you want the designs for the mount email me back at Orbitzzz@hotmail.com Its the exact diagram for the mounts from Cusco.

IMHO nothing suits the car better than a stock spoiler. it looks the best, and ofcourse color matching is an asset.....
i just laff and point at big *** wings on cars.....
