Ok I have been wondering for a while now, whats the best option for the afore mentioned wing. I keep seeing these ones on e-bay for like $150 after shipping and PDM looks good. I just want to know where those who have them have gotten them and what the price and quality was like. Feel free to add to the poll options.

I already imagine the answer is going to be no, but you wouldn't happen to have any pics of it would you? The ones i see seem off to me but I think it just might be the picture angle.

Anyone that got theirs from e-bay have a pic, please? For some reason it just doesn't look right to me in the pic that usually accompanies the auctions.

The flaw in your logic seems to be that not everyone has the money for "mad JDM tyte!" stuff. I say good for you if you can afford that but even if I could, I'd rather buy cheaper aero parts and put the money saved towards making the car go faster. Personally I made this post to get everyone's opinion of the different sources, I am glad to see so many ppl actually responded.

Ok who edited my poll? I know i did not put

"Is Type X super JDM?"

As an option, and i bet it was whoever voted for it.

On another not, it says it was me at 11 something AM on like the 10th, which is not possible as I have not been into this thread is a while.

Moderators?

Well that makes sense lol. It freaked me out a little to see it say that I made a post and I didn't do it.

I got my Kouki wing off of eBay for $275, shipped. It's the genuine one made by Nissan and is painted factory pearl white. The cheap aftermarket replica was around $175, shipped.

Asmar - question for you. How exactly did you find a thread from 2005 to respond to?Did you search for "type x wing" and go to the very earliest entry or what?

I'm curious to see how these things happen.

that's what we get for telling people to use the search feature.

also, in poll threads, if someone votes (even if they don't post), the thread gets bumped to the top.

Any help from others with the Type X wing? Mine is legit (I can tell the difference) and was previously installed on my old hatch which was a little rusty and is now replaced with a rust free one. The old one didn't quite seem to have a clean looking seal when it was bolted down and I'm wondering if it was where the old bolt holes were... The very back edge of the supports was about 1/2 inch away from the edge of the hatch. Does it need to be totally flush with the back edge to fit perfectly?Anyone have pictures they can share of theirs to show me where it needs to be mounted for a show-quality fitment?

Got mine off Ebay from Japan and payed $180 shipped. It bolts right on using existing holes and bolts. Once it was put in place you can see it only utilizes one hole on each side leaving the other two exposed so I filled it in with some bondo and used touch up paint. Visibility is great and the spoiler comes up just about headlight level of other cars behind you. I was unsure about this spoiler to begin with but now that I have it i'm glad I went this route instead of the Navan wing.

When looking on Ebay make sure there is a picture of the underside of the wing where it bolts onto the trunk. There you will see a little nissan logo stamped into the spoiler. Mine came off a silvia painted Mediteranean Prl so I had to have mine painted to match. I've seen them as low as $150 -$350. If your planing on having it sanded and painted buy one more on the cheaper end. If your looking for an exact match you'll pay more for condition reasons.
