I kinda like it maybe grind them down so you could fit 2 on each side, go for it and post some pic. thanks for your of the board thinking jim

 

Shark Fins
Two fins would look best. However, they are very heavy when compared to the fins next to the exhaust tips. This example would look better.

With those larger than mine.. I'd go the two and as suggested grind them to where you can move them closer together instead of the one "rolling" slightly to the side.

 

Carl when you have to ask I think you know what the answer is.




No and no.

 

Carl, bright minds sometimes work together.
I ordered 3 sets of 3 for $5 a set from China last Monday.
( figured if they look OK, I'll have another set for some other worthy soul )
When mine get off the boat I'll have a look see and post up some pictures.

 

How big was the school bus you guys rode on? Had mine for what two years now.. LOL..

 

School bus ??? What's that ?
I'll have you know I walked 25 miles in the snow both ways when I was in school.
You young wippersnappers .......

( OK, you get credit for this, Greg )

 

You forgot the "uphill both ways" part.. LOL

I've got a set of fiberglass ones to put on the wife's car.. and another set "for mine" so to say.. but that is really just in case someone kissing the back and gives me no choice..

 

Greg: What are those that you have? Where did you purchase? Since seeing yours compared to the ones I have, I think I like your set up...Carl

 

I bought them at Autozone.. Walmart has some on the shelf too.. but as you can see they are smaller and fit 3 in the area. Don't have the actual number, but next time I'm there I can check the shelf if needed.

 

Thanks. I'll check Autozone Sunday and see what they have...Thanks again...Carl

 

Your're right, Dave. It's call "that ole gut feeling"...Thanks for pointing that out...Carl I think I like Mrmiata's set up...

 

Took a picture, the wife's Miata looks so small lol.

Problem around O'town is all of the Great American Land Barges (GALBs) whose drivers look over and just did not see my Fiero (the car you wear) in the next lane over because their window sill was above my roof line. Needed the air horns. Suspect Miatta is the same.


XF is just tall enough to be visible for most so haven't had as much trouble.


BTW I suspect that all the spoiler does at 60-70mph is to cost 1 or 2 mpg and block some rear vision. Is it functional at that low a speed ?


Went to the beach yesterday, about 90 minutes each way so had time to reflect.

 

Eh, from what others here have said it's not functional until higher speeds (100+).

 

Debugged and Zaino'd the front, removed the DS fog lamp assembly and put that stupid little silver cap back on.

 

You know, I always wondered the same! I pretty much believed the spoiler is a gimmick to make the car look "cool" or more sporty. I find it hard to believe a little "pop" out spoiler does much of anything...Why did the Mercedes SLK not have a spoiler then?

 

Finally installed my new chrome windshield surround, no more peeling clear coat.

 

Got mine in the mail Friday.. same reason..

guess strakes and door handles will be next...

 

I didn't do much today but, I did redo my self made slasher stripes. They now line up better with door seams.


You are right indelibility about comparing the Crossfire to the Miata, I notice it every time my brothers Mazdaspeed is parked next to mine. The second gen Miata is even smaller than the third.
