thats the 96+ J-Spec wing, not a WRX wing.

Slotter I like your wing.... I think its actually the stock WRX wing. Looks good on our car. I want to eventually get the Mazdaspeed GTC kit so Im going to go with their GT spoiler. The price isnt that bad and it goes perfectly with the kit. If I dont get any sort of body kits I think i will end up getting the WRX wing.

Chiyo is the brand name I believe. It can only be purchased in Japan last I heard. It is a GT style spoiler. I know it isn't just for looks. My friend, who prob. built more rotary engines then 90% of the people here. Had it on his old FD. He got it up to 187mph so I think it is as good as you can get. He paid $800 for it. If you are seriously interested in buying one, email me and I'll send you some pics of it and see if I can't find out where to get one.

I do realize that GT wings are the best performing wings (lighweight, adjustable downforce) BUT they totally destroy the looks of the car in my opinion. I see more ricer Neons, Civics, Accords etc with this wing which serves NO PURPOSE on their car which might accelerate 10 mph every minute past 80 mph - thus technically it could be considered a "look" mod. I will admit on RX-7s it serves more of a purpose but I cringe everytime I see one on an FD.

thats why different wings are for different levels of cars, IMO. for a stock FD, the RB Type I looks amazing, but it will not look good on a kitted car. on the other hand, a Veilside GT wing looks hella nice on a kitted FD, but kinda looks like *** on a stock FD.
