Design Consideration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While the \u201cgurney flap\u201d style wing extension is not new to the Mazdaspeed<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With such a simple performance part how can we be unique and durable? That comes down to the design and materials\u2026more specifically the combination of those two. The common option on the market today uses a plastic material for the \u201cflap\u201d. This is cost-effective, looks decent, and has decent durability. However, over time the plastic may degrade due to use, weather, and UV radiation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Durable Wing Extension<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The CorkSport \u201cflap\u201d is made from 5052 Aluminum sheet and then powder coated a satin black for a durable and long-lasting finish and construction. Mounting the \u201cflap\u201d are three CNC-formed stainless steel brackets and four underside mounting screws\u2026also stainless steel. This gives you a total of seven mounting points meaning there is no need for messy and finicky double-side tape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed for the OEM Mazdaspeed spoiler, the CorkSport Gurney Flap fits great on the OEM Spoiler and the CorkSport Carbon Fiber Spoiler<\/a>. Installation is easy with our step-by-step instructions.

Standout with the CS Wing Extension<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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\u201d 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
