R1 Wing vs. Sarona Wing

Hi guys,

My R1 rear wing recently broke, and I am looking for a replacement. The only place I could find an OEM R1 wing was through Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda, and even with the discount he quoted me $450. I found this Sarona wing for $150, which looks identical to the R1 wing.

MZ-028-TW Sarona Paintable Wings - Trunk Wing for 93-97 Mazda RX7 at Andy's Auto Sport

Does anyone have experience with this wing? Is it easy to install? Durable?

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks

Yea you can find a used one pretty easily I bet but either way, the R1 wing wasn't very functional so I think that replica one would be just fine.

I found my R1 wing for sale on the forum and grabbed it for like $100 shipped. I polished it up and rubbed out the scratches and got the mounting kit from malloy mazda for like $45. Mine was already painted VR as well. Again, just troll the for sale section

Wow! While I am known for keeping things OEM whenever possible, I have to admit that Sarona wing looks like a great alternative!
