Rear wing/spoiler

Postby bruce » Mon Feb 13, 2023 8:52 am

Hi guys,
Trying to find a ducktail/blade style wing for my NA rear end. I want it to be small and of a more modern 'blade' style. Everything I've seen has been too big or just ugly IMO.
I've goggled it, checked ebay, aliexpress, etsy, etc.
This kind of style but a little smaller. Ideally in carbon or gloss black;

The last two pics are from the same seller and the same listing. He says the red NA spoiler is unavailable but I have a sneaking suspicion it is the same as the pictured ND spoiler. I wonder if the bootlid of an ND is similar in contours and dimensions to an NA?

I think I might have to DIY, make my own. 3D printer would be nice to design it or modify it from an existing spoiler then get it professionally painted gloss black (on a silver car). Or dream of it in nice carbon fibre.

I'm guessing you don't like any of the CarbonMiata options?

Lip or ducktail was my preference, but I've not looked at them for a while. There was a Rod Millen Motorsports ducktail for the NA:

Thanks guys. All of those are a bit too big, I'm after something more subtle.

Does anyone have the width of an ND bootlid?

Too subtle. But very close.

I don't mind this one ;

But $270 delivered for a bit of rubber is a bit much, it needs to be carbon.

Thanks to you both. Clubby, those boots are interesting but my stock boot is painted perfectly and in great condition.
970mm which is close to the 1020of the NA. Makes me think an ND spoiler might fit...

About $250 delivered incl 10% duty. Carbon for the ND, may fit NA. I like the little bit of overhang over the edges of the lid;
