When I see the car from the front, I like it without the spoiler. But from behind, I miss the spoiler.

First of all, it's called Rain-X. The stuff is the s---. Make sure you use it once a month and you'll have no problems whatsoever with your rear hatch. Hell, it's not even as bad as you make it sound in the first place.

As for your GS rear lip spoiler, leave it off. I always loved the more clean line of the no lip spoiler on the rear but one on the front.

The color you picked is great. I think MX-3s take the best to deep, rich colors in general. Bright, flashy colors tend to make our cars look like Hot Wheels or plastic Osh Kosh B'Gosh toys.

Rims are hot. They look like something BBS would produce.

wow uno what..for some reason, i think that EXACly what the mx-3 desinged wanted to produce..i mean something about your car..between the rims and the color, really embraces the image that mazda wanted to creat for the mx-3. Awsome job, sharp but simple car. What kinda engine mods you got goin on?

looks good without the spoiler, coz of the tinted hatch glass... but would look even better with the spoiler on IMO

Great looking ride and that paint job/color is outstanding. IMHO am a fan of the garnish instead of a spoiler but many would disagree. Matter of personal pref.

i am sportin the sans spoiler look these days too, and i think it looks real clean. i have a pak 2 kit, which is pretty aggressive and i still think it looks better w/o a spoiler or wing

Hey really nice car man. I think it looks good without the spoiler, but I think itd look really nice with the canadian gs spoiler that wraps around a lil more. I was wondering what type of wheels those are, bc they are beautiful. Last question is what suspension set up are you running?

All you got to do now is leave it with the keys in the ignition in front of my house.

I had mine off for a few months, and I HATED the look and couldn't wait to get my wing on, but yours looks pretty good. It probably helps that you have a darker color as well as a tinted hatch. Personally I don't like that color, but your Mx-3 with that colors looks frigging sweet!

I personally would fall for it, unless i heard the exaust. Only educated Mx-3'ers would know the difference between an RS and GS Mx-3, all the uneducated people think that all Mx-3's are 4cyls....
