Stay wingless and get lower offset wheels to flush out your fenders.

wingless looks absolutely pimp when you have a bodykit of anykind on. (well a nice kit anyways)

your two examples are great choices. I'll see if I can find some examples.

I'd prioritize the wheel situation, flush is good.

Until then, leave it wingless.

Once that's taken care of, I say either a wangan-style wing (i.e. small whaletail), or wingless with just the little GP Sports-style rear window "visor" style spoiler.

Thats the clear answer right there. Unless you're needing sick downforce (cornering at 100+), no wing is always best.

if u decide to buy a spoiler a carbon fibre 1 would look the best and light weight to

here ya go. Some pics I have in my collectioin. I got these from various places, and I don't even know whose cars they are. Maybe even some NICO members.

I think this car is the NICO car of the month. Check the front page. I may be wrong







Here are some other nice wings.



This is one of the most sweetest lookin gZenkis I've ever seen. Those Volks complement the car nicely.



What lip/wing is this and who makes it? It is a really nice alternative to the stock one without going pure wingless.





Here are some more.

Go wingless or with a small M3 style lip. The lines of the R?S13 and all S14s actually IMPLY some aero design, and tossing a wing on there would destroy what, IMHO, is one of the shining design aspects to the S chassis. (Sorry S13 coupe owners!)

Hmm... ironicly the M3 spoiler to have is this from the CSL model or carbon remakes of it such as this whale of a tail....

thanks for all the replys!... i didnt expect this much... but its all good,

i only put those rims on because i got them dirt cheap... $400 CDN brand new!

MAXIMUS Nismothanks for all the pics, those are some nice S14's... i like the Kouki style one personally...do they make the wangan wing for the S14?... i wouldn't want to do any major fabrication to make it fit, but it looks sexxxy.

as for mods... not that many, but the list will grow... check out my new sig.

i guess ill take the advice of most ppl and save up to buy some lower offset wheels to fit in flush with the fender.

thanks for all the input... ill keep u guys updated!

I say definetely get a wing... i dont know which one, but they definetely help. I drive across the country twice a year in my wingless 240, and wish i had a wing, because the car feels unstable at any speed over 85. When i drove my friend`s winged 240, it felt soooo much better when i was changing lanes at high speeds.[and to the flamers, 1) 85mph is the normal flow of traffic crossing the country and 2)My car`s suspension is fine]
