This will depend on the weight savings and cost, either way it will be painted to match my car. :)

I've never seen one, but pictures would be nice! :)

I personally think the wraparound is one of the nicest spoilers for the mx-3... :shrug:

I couldn't ever figure out why my garnish looked funny... Because it was suppose to be black! Hence the reason why it's called a "raised" spoiler...

I feel like a complete idiot.

it doesn't look bland with the rest of the kit it was designed for ;)

maybe I will sell it, I really don't like the raised RS for the same reasons you listed above :cry:

Personally, I think this looks a lot better. Well, the spoiler should match the rest of the car, but the painted garnish/lower portion looks awesome. Utterly awesome, and your picture makes me want that even more.

Thanks allot!

I know... (color of spoiler)... It's still just primer. Soon, I hope if I can ever get this whole engine nightmare over with.

You'll get there, it just takes a bit of patience and a lot of hard work. :)

I'm tearing down a perfectly good KLZE in my car to fix 2 oil leaks :( It's not fun, especially since I can't drive the car while it's apart, but it will be fun when I get to rip around town in it again.

I'm glad to have 2 MX-3s now though, so I can still drive one at least :love: I should have done this from day one.

I'll be painting my hatch garnish, as well as my GS spoiler... I'll probably keep the garnish to be honest. Weight savings work wonders for crappy hatch struts, and it looks so clean.

Well, I will tell you this for sure, I have a GS Spoiler in my garage and use to, when I unlocked my hatch, it wouldn't stay up. However, now that I have the RS Spoiler, it almost pops up by itself. That thing is super lighter than the GS Spoiler.

Believe me, I know :lol: I have 2 GS spoilers, 1 RS garnish, and a Wraparound floating around :lol: It's good to cut the weight out, especially since i have new hatch struts :D

Drop the corner of your hatch on your head one time, then say this again :lol:

I agree, it looks awesome; It's my favorite spoiler for the car. Beyond that, function > form any day.
