I think Kevin is saying "that is not a factory sunroof". ?

There is also a "Touring Model" which includes a sun roof, and Bose stereo system. Compared to the R1 and R2 which both don\'t have a moon roof, and they have an extra front oil cooler in the front bumper, and other race modification equipment.

thanks for the concern anyway

Jurgen, I know there are many models that come with sunroof. Does a Type X have a factory sunroof? Where there any models that had a glass roof like in that picture on ebay?

No there arent. There are in total 3 types of (standard factory Mazda) rear wing for the FD, roughly; the \'normal\' one u see on most stock <1995 cars, the 96-98 \'whale tail and the \'99-spec with the variable element.

The wing in the picture above is I\'d guess without looking too hard an RE-Amemiya aftermarket job, whichever - it certainly isnt oem.

ive had a look around before and cannot find anyone wtih the same spoiler or anyone who knows what make it is, im guessing it was a old jap made aftermarket spoiler that they probably dont make anymore thats why i cant find it anywhere. Also the guy i bought it off did not know what make it was either. I might contact re amamiya somehow (might be a hard task) and see if they can shed light on my spoiler
