I would like to see pictures of z33's with roof wings... If anyone could help me out n post a few that'd be great!!
Through out the work weeks that have been passing I have been thinking about what simple/ inexpensive modifications I could do to the z to keep progress rolling a bit even though my main focus is s13... I have been thinking about things like the rear spring mount mod, vinyl overlay, lowering springs, different emblems n mostly just little things like that. So also making mental pictures in my head of what my z might look like with a roof wing, I went ahead n ordered the cheap carbon fiber spoiler off of eBay. It's a bit twisted n a hair too wide, but I'm going to throw it on anyway n see if it grows on me or not.. I really don't like messing with the lines of the beautiful z33 but I haven't seen very many roof spoilers paired up with any other rear spoilers other than stock n I decided I'd give it a shot!! I'll post pictures of the dry fit later tonight n see what nico thinks.. But in the mean time a thread of 350z's with roof wings would be pretty cool to look through :naughty:

Heres a few shots of the dry fit... you can see how the wing is twisted n doesn't fit the shape of the glass, but it should be flexible enough to form n mount...

Roof spoilers look great, as long as they the rest of the car isn't overdone.

I think the rear spoiler is the thing that pushes it over. The roof spoiler isn't over the top at all.

Go with a simpler rear spoiler if you're going to stick with the roof spoiler. Something like the one on my Z, or the MSA Daytona or Le Mans spoiler, the Le Mans is even available in cf. ;)

Yeah I would, but I really like the rear spoiler I have So I'm just gonna end up taking off the roof spoiler some time in the future. Thank for the opinions though.. And I do like those rear spoilers, but I was looking for something to cover where the emblem goes all the way down to the bottom edge of the hatch. I was caught between this one the ings spoiler and the blitz.. Even Though the blitz doesn't cover the whole area it's definitely my favorite.
