Basically, yes, its functional. BUT if the looks of the stock spoiler urp your style then removing it will not suffer enough aerodynamic problems to really notice.

The Sport's aero package reduced the coefficient of drag (Cd) by .02 (.31 to .29). It also reduced the air resistance (Cd x A) by .036 (.56 to .524). It also reduced the rear lift coefficient by .07, down from .14.

i personally like the way mine feels w/o the rear spoiler on although i don't put mine past 100MPH and even then its not tuned enough yet to get past 4K rpm at 100MPH on a straight clean slightly downsloped superhighway

and yeh welding? like i'm going to pay a gazillion bucks for a welding rig?

+1 for wings

My car was modified by the late Donny Bowers in Salina Ks, but it all really comes down to preference. Toyo tires on Zenetti wheels, K&N modified intake, modified exhaust. and yep, the antenna misses it.

Wow.. Glad you like it... It's unique, and I assume it must weigh 150lbs.

I like spoilers, it says something about the car. By far the majority if no all sports cars have spoilers, it makes the car look more agressive, and it's functional. I think talking a spoiler off of a car make s it look more bland, and less sporty. The spoilers is a symbol to let others know that you bought the sporty addition of the car!

I no longer own a rx7, but still: no spoilers for me haha. My 240 is spoilerless, and my next car will most likely follow suit.

I agree, I have an champagne 86 with that spoiler and the trim and such are black. I looks hot.
