While the “gurney flap” style wing extension is not new to the Mazdaspeed community, we wanted to offer our interpretation of this fun, useful, and stylish performance part. We approached this design to improve the spoiler style, maybe some function, and make it durable.
With such a simple performance part how can we be unique and durable? That comes down to the design and materials…more specifically the combination of those two. The common option on the market today uses a plastic material for the “flap”. This is cost-effective, looks decent, and has decent durability. However, over time the plastic may degrade due to use, weather, and UV radiation.
Durable Wing Extension
The CorkSport “flap” is made from 5052 Aluminum sheet and then powder coated a satin black for a durable and long-lasting finish and construction. Mounting the “flap” are three CNC-formed stainless steel brackets and four underside mounting screws…also stainless steel. This gives you a total of seven mounting points meaning there is no need for messy and finicky double-side tape.
Designed for the OEM Mazdaspeed spoiler, the CorkSport Gurney Flap fits great on the OEM Spoiler and the CorkSport Carbon Fiber Spoiler. Installation is easy with our step-by-step instructions.
Standout with the CS Wing Extension
While we cannot make any official claims to added downforce, we have found the car to feel more stable at speed and a little gurney flap never hurt anyone. Measuring 4” in flap depth, the CS design is very noticeable as you walk up to the car with a pronounced flap and tumble-polished stainless brackets. All the underside hardware is black stainless so it blends into the satin black powder coat.

It’s time to liven up your 4th GEN Mazda 3 Sedan with the new CorkSport Performance Lip Spoiler for 2019+ Mazda 3 Sedan and 2021+ Mazda3 Turbo Sedan. While Mazda did a good job creating classy styling for the newest 3, we find it to be a little boring, especially when on lowering springs and a nice set of wheels. The CS spoiler offers a much more aggressive trunk lip than the small OEM Mazda unit, without detracting from the great OEM styling. Its features incorporate the original Mazda body lines to stand out without being obnoxious. Keep on reading for full info and pictures!
A Stylish Spoiler For The Mazda 3
Like its hatchback counterpart, the CorkSport sedan spoiler offers an “OEM+” look. We took the body lines and design cues of the Mazda 3 and adapted them into a more aggressive spoiler than is offered by Mazda. It extends and raises the rear edge of the trunk to finish off the vehicle’s rear better. The CS spoiler also carries over the tops of the rear quarter panels and ties into the main body line. The rear face of the spoiler follows the taillights before moving upward at the same angle as the end of the lights for extra detail. Finally, the spoiler’s top and rear faces are concave for a bit of a “duckbill” type of look. These features combine to ensure the CS spoiler looks at home on a 4th GEN sedan and will make you wonder why Mazda did not have something similar from the factory.
The Best Spoiler Fitment for The Mazda 3
Fitment was as important as styling, so the design began with a 3D scan of the trunk and rear quarter panel area. This scan was used as the base for the entire design that was completed in CAD software. After many test fits and iterations for best fitment, we were left with a final design that matches the OEM curves very well and can be installed with no drilling or trimming.
Carbon Fiber & Fiberglass Options
After the fantastic response we received on our material choices for the 4th GEN Mazda hatchback spoiler, we knew we had to do the same thing for the 4th GEN 3 sedan. Each CS trunk lip is made from a fiberglass foundation before being topped with your choice of 3 materials. Full fiberglass, woven carbon fiber, and forged carbon fiber are all available. The two carbon options are finished off in a UV-resistant glossy clear coat with a mirror-like finish. The regular fiberglass will come in a satin black finish that is ready for light sanding and a finish coat of paint or wrap. Each material has the same shape, but you can personalize the look to match your build and budget.
Easy to Install
Installation of the CorkSport Mazda3 trunk spoiler could not be any easier. It is attached with included 3M VHB tape for a simple and secure fit with NO DRILLING. If you have the OEM Mazda lip spoiler, installation is a little more difficult as you have to remove it to install the CS, but we include covers for the holes that are no longer used with the CorkSport spoiler. Full-color installation instructions are also available so you can transform the rear of your sedan in as little as 30 minutes!

Back and better than ever before is the CorkSport Lowering Springs for the 2014-2017 Mazda 6. Improve both the appearance and driving characteristics of your 6, all while keeping OE fitment and good ride quality. Once installed you will gain better feedback and handling performance, so hitting the back roads will be an even more enjoyable experience. Below are more details on the specs and features of the CS Lowering Springs.
Lowering Spring Ride Height
Getting right into it, the CS lowering springs will drop the front of the Mazda 6 approximately 1.20in (30mm) and 1.75 (45mm) in the rear. This puts the 6 at a nice height that removes some of the rake that is present from the factory to provide a more level appearance. After the springs are installed, ground clearance will be reduced but there is still a good amount for the majority of obstacles that you will encounter while driving.
Lowering Springs Add Better Handling
Along with the more aggressive stance comes the addition of better handling characteristics. This is a result of the lower center of gravity and the increased spring rates. Both of these changes help reduce the amount of body roll in corners which will provide a more planted feel while driving and will inspire confidence when pushing your Mazda 6 in the backroads. The spring rates that were selected ended up at 4.6K front and 8.1K rear to provide a healthy increase over stock.
Best Quality for the Mazda 6 Springs
The CS Mazda 6 lowering springs are constructed with high tensile strength spring steel and in the rear we have added spring isolators to prevent any unwanted noises. The springs are finished in our CS blue powder coat to protect the steel from the elements and corrosion. Installation of the springs are just like OE and the only modification required is trimming the bump stops.
Well, that about wraps up the key details of the updated lowering springs for the 2014-2017 Mazda 6! Head over to the web page to check out more images and make sure to reach out if you have any questions.
Check out the the Best CorkSport Mazda 3 Cat Back Exhaust for 4th Gen models (2019-2024)! Building upon the already great CS Axle Back exhaust, the Mazda 3 CBE replaces the entire OEM exhaust system from the header back with high flowing 63.5mm piping and flow-thru resonators. This adds an aggressive sound that is great for tearing up the backroad, yet is still comfortable for cruising on the daily commute. Read on for more details and be sure to listen to the sound clips below.
The Mazda 3 Cat Back Design
The primary focus of the CorkSport cat back is to add a great sound that spices up your new Mazda 3. The restrictive OEM axle back exhaust is replaced with the unique CS Mazda 3 Axle Back Exhaust. The large resonator eliminates the drone fantastically, while the asymmetrical design offers a great tone and interesting exhaust notes. Moving to the front, the OEM, mid pipes are replaced with full 63.5mm (2.5”) mandrel bent piping that incorporates a large oval-shaped resonator. This resonator was chosen for its ability to eliminate any drone and undesirable sounds while retaining a straight-thru design to remove any exhaust restriction. The result is a sound that is louder and more aggressive than the CorkSport axle back alone, without being annoying or bothersome on long drives.
Cat Back Improves Performance
The increase in volume also comes with an increase in horsepower. The axle back alone was able to net 3-5WHP across the RPM range. In our testing, the Mazda 3 Short Ram Intake was installed with both the OEM and CorkSport Cat Back Exhaust. With the removal of the restrictive OEM mid pipe and mid pipe resonators, the CBE netted us approximately 20wTQ and 10-18wHP in our testing!
Easy Installation
While both improvements in power and sound are great, they mean nothing if it’s a pain to install. Don’t worry though, the CorkSport cat back exhaust installs just like the OEM exhaust. We used both a FWD and AWD exhaust system during our development to ensure correct fitment for whichever drivetrain you have. While the pipe routing of the CS mid pipes are slightly different for the different drivetrain options, the resonators setup is exactly the same, so you can be confident that both AWD and FWD Mazda 3’s exhaust sound fantastic.
If you have a Mazda 3 with Cylinder Deactivation, this is not an issue with the CorkSport CBE. We include a bracket made from 304 stainless steel, which holds the cylinder deactivation motor securely up and out of the way. The purpose behind this bracket is so that no check engine lights are set off by having it disconnected and also to get rid of the extra complexity and restriction of having a valve in the exhaust.
Cat Back Provides Best Mazda 3 Fitment
Like the CorkSport Axle Back exhaust, the CS cat back exhaust system has a variety of tip options to best suit your vehicle setup. We have different tip fitments for hatchback, hatchback with the OEM Mazda aero kit and sedan. The sedan tip option is the longest in order to fit the longer rear end of the sedan models.
We specifically designed two different length tips for the Mazda 3 Hatchback due to the design of the Mazda Appearance Package. The rear bumper skirt adds a lot of length to the car…hiding the tips from view. With the Appearance Package-specific design, the tips are prominent in the rear bumper skirt as they should be. (The Hatchback Appearance Package tips are 45mm longer than standard Hatchback tips).
Each setup uses a different length to ensure great fitment no matter your car. All tip options use a 90mm tip diameter to help fill out the bumper cutouts. Plus, each tip is finished off with a laser-engraved CorkSport logo plate to give a great look.
Cat Back Exhaust’s Quality Finishes
As with all CorkSport exhausts, the GEN4 Mazda 3 cat back exhaust is made from fully polished, mandrel bent, 304 stainless steel. This offers a fantastic look and smooth flow, with corrosion resistance to stand up to the test of time. Every exhaust is fully TIG welded and for further strength, each hanger location has extra reinforcement to keep your exhaust secure. The CorkSport CBE also comes with all the hardware and gaskets you need to make your installation a breeze!
