I need some rear wing ideas pics are greatly appreciated. I'm not a fan of duck tail styles. TIA

I don't like big wings, especially on a FWD, so my choice would be this spoiler by Remin:

That is the exact rear wing that I have, and it is the best, IMO. It doesn't come over the sides, and looks good with the rear end styling. I always thought the OEM 3.5 and aftermarket wings were too large, this one is ideal.

When you get the chance, would you mind taking some pics of your car? Especially from the side. Pictures aren't too plentiful for that spoiler.

The OEM wing and the Stillen wing looks the best on the coupe.

Here is a shot of my wing:

From the side:

It follows the lines of the rear end, without disrupting them. I tried all the 3M tape in the world, but it wouldn't hold, so I finally just drilled holes. Don't get the Stillen lip spoiler, I liked that one, too...but it comes with 3M tape, and is hard to place, then just pops right off. That Stillen lip is also hollow, and there is no other way to mount it but more sticky tape. Try to mount the spoiler with screws if you can. Mine is certainly permanent, and if you squirt some RTV into the screw holes right before install, it won't rust or leak.

I definitely get what you mean, it doesn't screw with the lines the car already has. I was (and am) thinking about getting the same one, along with this one:

If you don't mind me asking, what's with the 'RS' badge?
I mean, it looks aesthetic, I'm just wondering.

It is just for looks, the RS badge. I shaved the others off, and thought it needed something. They do make a Juke RS Turbo, so Nissan makes RS versions...and I figured it would make it stand out a little. I get looks from Camaro dudes, no doubt.

That fiber wing is a good one, but it likely just hangs on with tape. After the debacle with the Stillen I got, I went with one that was going to stay put with screws. It was rare until the last year or so, when I started seeing more of them. The wing i have is made from hard poly, and can be sanded and finished up like wood, plus they come pre-painted in Nissan colors. I dig it.

I'm going for the one level over bone-stock look. I don't have the V6, so it isn't like I want it to be a street racer or anything...I wanted a comfy highway hauler...and that is what she is. Front fogs, CB radio, 37mpg, leather...Can't think of much else I can do to it that would be subtle. Gonna run 'er for a decade just as she sits. Should hit 100k in a couple of years, then 200, then....?

Do you know of anyone who has the Carbon Creations duckbill installed?
I haven't seen anybody with it, only the stock pictures on the product page.
