hello everybody ive been a member of nico for years now but have only had z32s.. i recently purchased a 2007 350z touring and have been doing minor modifications since i have had it like seibon hood, topspeed pro1 exhaust, takeda intakes, window tint, and varrsoten wheels... i just got the carbon creations vader 2 carbon wing that i believe is a veilside replica n i am wondering if anybody has any experience installing the wing??? the wing has two bolts that screw right into it but it also came with two aditional bolts with washers and two self tapping looking screws.. i am very confused and would like to install the wing myself n not have to take it to a shop to have it installed.. also it looks like it wont bolt up to the factory spoilers mounting points (which is what i was hoping would work) any help would be greatly appreciated thank you very much!!!

thank you both!!! :bigthumb: i dont get many compliments, where i live if your not mud bogging your not worth talking to haha.. n i really really wanna get a lil smaller tires n drop it a few inches, but i scrape waaay too much as it is n any lower than stock n id just be tearing it apart :ohno:.. my girlfriend is supposed to be going to college in arizona so when we relocate you will definitely see the more aggressive stance!!!! (i will be getting a different daily by then so itll be okay) i was thinking about megan coilovers, i dont plan on tracking it so they wont take a beating, although plans do always change haha... i know people use excuses all the time but i literally live twenty miles from the closest town that is Mountainair Newmexico where it rains n snows n only about 20% of the roads are paved which makes for muddy n horrible roads, n the few that are paved are filled with potholes cracks n rocks haha.. n i live down a dirt road made for big ol lifted dodge trucks with two cattle guards n like three culvert things that still scare me driving over them just as bad as they did when i first got the z!! this is why i take most pictures in albuquerque, better nicer setting with good roads n parking lots lol

what kinda wheels do you have? ... and no i dont like spacers its all about wheel with n wheel offsets man.. these wheels are 18x9.5
+12 offset and the rears are 18x10.5 +15 offset. the lower the offset the more aggressive the fitment, but if your cars lowered with aggressive enough wheels you will have to do some tweaking to keep from rubbing.. besides i hear spacers are bad for your wheel bearings, but im no expert :gotme ......

depending on your budget and driving style you can look into varrstoen wheels, they make great looking wheels with pretty aggressive offsets as well as not so aggressive.. but if your a baller, track your car, n want real aggressive stance with big lips on light wheels id look into work wheels.. theyre expensive but damn sexy and worth it imo, and i believe you can even choose the width of the lip you get on the wheels (wheels being three piece of course) if only i had the cash lol and im sure theres plenty other routs but this is just what comes to my mind..
