I thought mine came in yesterday, but they sent me the wrong one. The trunk wing was right, but the roof one is definitely not.

I want one... and it's actually on sale right now but I don't have that cash since I already ordered the intake.

I also wouldn't know if I would paint it black or white since I have the black roof overlay.

i think it would look sexi black since u have overlays already! if the wing comes in black already, just put it on as a reference, see if you like it. if you dont then paint it

I was just waiting for it to go on sale. Ordered mine and it should be in on Monday and on the car by the end of the week. I'll put some pics up on Monday since it is already black just to give some idea of what it will look like.

Not sure who that statement was aimed at but either way, why do you care what people do to THEIR car. I think I've done a pretty damn good job of making my car unique and much better looking than stock (I've quit counting the number of compliments I've got on it). Trust me, if my roof wing comes and doesn't look good on the car, it won't get put on. I'll either eat the money or sell it. I think it's a pretty subtle piece that will just slightly change the lines of the rear profile.

I agree - it is too subtle of a mod to be tacky. I think I first saw these on Mercedes S class sedans and Coupes - This spoiler has also been around for other cars for a couple of years.

Either way - good luck.

They are 20% off right now with free shipping....going to be hard to beat that price with a group buy but good luck. I was originally thinking along the same lines but I just snagged mine to be on the safe side since the current price is pretty good....

Even though it's off topic, they are 20's with a 45 offset and absolutely no rubbing. The parts manager at my dealer said if you go with 45, you can guarantee no rubbing even when lowered. Although I know guys have gotten away with less and still had no rubbing. I wanted to be on the safe side.

So wait, you are not only telling people what not to do with their car, but your giving an opinion on something you hadn't even seen?

Don't get me wrong, forums are made for people to express opinions and make comments. Its just a pet peeve of mine when people tell other people what to do with their car. Like the whole thread where the guy got flamed by a lot of people for putting vertical doors on his coupe. I've said this before on here, if we all had the same opinion on what looks good, this would be a pretty boring website. So yes, please post comments but post ones with some meaning. If you don't like the rear roof wing say something like "I don't think it goes with the lines of the car" or "it's makes the rear end bulky." Something with some thought not just

Oh wait, then again I guess that would have required you to have seen it before making the comment...

Ding ding ding. Ladies and gentlemen.. our fight tonight features 2brian0 and linknuc. On paper these two are very evenly matched but as we all know.. nothing can be determined on paper. Mchedaddi.. what's your opinion on the fight?

Nah, no fight here....I've said my piece and don't intend to get sucked into a war of words. However, I'm sure he will have some colorful response to my comment....

This fight is titled “Super Prestige Fight” and it really lives up to its name. It features two of SuperLeagues finest. 2brian0 “The Shock” Shakuta versus linknuc “Coppa” Chapman. linknuc is now moving into the super middleweight division (-76 kg) due to the fact that he got problems making the -73 kg weight limit for the middleweight division. “It’s getting harder and harder to make the weight each time. I‘m losing too much of my power and strength when dropping down that much” says linknuc . He will certainly not get an easy start in this for him new weight division as he will go straight for the top dog facing 2brian0 “The Shock” Shakuta. 2brian0 who has been dominating the super middleweight division for a long time now is a very tactical fighter and this looks too be a very tough fight. Both fighters have impressive records with fights all around the world. The big question mark is how linknuc will adapt to the new weight division. One thing is for sure this is a great match up and the fans will be winners either way watching this fight

Interesting that you say that. I have to agree.. Linknuc will have some difficulties fighting in this division with the 'big dawgs' Shakuta has been known to be a very aggressive fighter in all aspects of boxing but Linknuc is a very agile fighter. If linknuc uses his height and reach advantage over the powerful brian0.. I think we're going to be in for one of the best fights NICO has seen for dozens of threads.

I know that this is off subect as well, but just a real quick question. You said that your rims have an offset of a +45 but you didn't mention anything about the tire size? Did you do a 225/35/20 tire, 235/35/20 tire or 245/35/20 tire?

I got this response today from M. Lo at Stillen; after taking pictures and sending it to them. I also verified the part number on their website, it is the part number they sent me which specifically states 07.ALTIMA on it...

Dear Mr. Barajas,

I appreciate your help with this matter!It is definitely the wrong part.

I will notifiy my urethane department and get you a replacement roof wing out ASAP.

Please set the incorrect wing aside for now.

I am very sorry for the inconvenience.

Talk about V.I.P. treatment from Stillen. They've taken care of everybody's problems, and thank goodness for that.

I must admit that I shot my keyboard off based on another product,

"the comment, ugh do'nt do that..." wasn't meant as a command more of a rhetorical comment. I attribute the lack of refinement to the time lived in jersey/philly area.

Therefore, due to lack of training and an obvious weight disadvantage, it is my MANAGER's decision that the fight should be posponed indefinitely.

At least we did not sink so deep as to used the term "pwned"

Wow there. Watch it. Don't start blaming people or places for running your mouth.. What do you mean blame jersey/philly area. Jersey has places many more palces with class than ull ever see in ohio. Don't start ur bs again and watch what you say.
