yeah it looks like the type X wing. The replicas run anywhere from 200 to 400. You can find them alot of places. Nick

It's definitely not a kouki 180SX wing (not a very close replica either), as kouki wings sit higher and are not curved on top in this manner; this spoiler is somewhat similar to the stock spoilers on USDM S14's.

For reference, this is a OEM kouki 180SX wing (also incorrectly labeled as "type-x wing").

yeah, i noticed that too, and i think the Bomex one sits higher. its a close match, and i think they have another, but its more rounded. http://www.bomexaero.com/images1/s13/ad004.jpg

quiksilvia--

My bad, not so much incorrect as much as misinformed. The 180SX kouki spoiler was stock for many if not all trims of JDM 1996.5+ 180SX, not only Type X. It is a kouki characteristic, not a Type X one.

It would be sort of like saying the KA24DE is a SE engine, when it was available for all USDM 240SX trims after 1991. (Not an exact analogy i know, but i guess things work out differently on this side of the Pacific)

But hey, most of us are in the good ol' US of A where JDM technicalities are trivial so call it whatever the heck you want.
