Looking to change your '15+ Nismo Wing? NSFW~NSFL~Seriously don't open this.
 
Hey guys,

So I've had the Amuse wing for a while now and after a few trips to the shop to finish the wing (paint and clear coat) it was time to put on the wing. After about 2 hours of working to get this god damn wing off we gave up and decided to take it to the body shop. I kept reading about people breaking theirs or worse damaging the hatch. So we took it to the body shop. 10 mins later, it's off. And this was the result:

Crap load of 3M glue all the way around the wing, and SEVENTEEN mounting points. WTF?

So what I thought would be an hour job, now turns out the car needs to stay at the shop for a week. The entire bottom row is exposed, both left and right corners (2 holes each) are exposed, and the middle hole just above the brake light is half way exposed when fitting the Amuse Vestito Wing on. Sweet. So they are going to seal every hole, then paint the entire hatch, do some touchup on the wing (the first shop still didn't have it perfect) and install the gurney flap for $1000. Not too bad considering all the work involved and the pearl white, but this is what you are getting into if you want it done right. :( CyCy has a fix too that looks like some legit really nice grommets you can use to fill if you want to reach out to him on where he got those. Will post pics when she's on!:tiphat:

kinda like how hyundai's clay artist can't put his faking tool down, nissan went to town with a new drill the worker bought the previous night.

FairladyZ10PG 01-29-2016 07:10 PM

This could have happened if I didn't have that beautiful wing looking at me asking if it was her turn yet. LOL

BrockDM1 01-29-2016 07:35 PM

HOLY SH*T MAN!!

I was debating on changing mine out to the AeroJacket but my god it's not even worth it. That's absurd.

Mad respect for posting this though, you will be saving a lot of people money

I kind of expected this.

Puke was kind enough to send me some picture of the underside of the new Nismo wing and I could see that there would be way more holes in the trunk.

Its no longer plug and play like it used to be.

Hotrodz 01-29-2016 09:35 PM

Glad I have a pre 15 lol:stirthepot:

Rusty 01-29-2016 10:48 PM

Think it would be easier to just get another hatch and mount the wing to it.

Spoiler 01-30-2016 02:38 AM

Jeez - More holes than a chunk of swiss cheese

jordyking 01-30-2016 05:50 AM

Yes exactly this. Didn't realize it until after the wing was off. LOL The problem here is finding someone with your same color, like new condtion, has NO wing, that's local and wants the OEM wing. It's out there of course, but I'd assume few and far between. So definitely check your options out there and if this is one, jump on it.

Damn this looks great, Never seen this one before. been looking for stock nismo with amuse..

OptionZero 06-27-2016 04:45 PM

squared off angles of the Amuse wing are consistent with the squared off nismo bumpers, so i think it works

Would love to see that car lowered and from wider angles

Hey man thanks! Yea stock suspension for now. Had some financials being shifted elsewhere after the FI kit bc of some deadbeat tenants. Almost through it though, just another month. Saving up bc I'm really leaning towards AST which is going to be a pretty penny. Getting there! Only had her for a year, takes some time!

I send him an email asking for the same (370z Trunk mount GT Wing) but they dont have it :shakes head:

BboyZ 07-01-2016 09:50 PM

I'm going for Amuse, but probably after I came back from vacation. Already bought ARP splitter. Hoping to install it before I leave.

Where'd you get it?! That's the one I want. Unfortunately had a buddy with teh CS lip fly off at 150 mph. He mounted correctly and even reinforced so that unfortunately made me drop out of the groupby. I feel like the splitter can probably handle a bit more downforce than the lip. Just looks more functional all around.

BboyZ 07-06-2016 11:02 PM

I got mine from Vividracing. 2-3 weeks lead time.

'12NISMO370Z 10-10-2016 02:35 AM

Anybody in the northern CA area reading this needing a pre '15 sport/nismo hatch let me know ;) I have one with glass for $200

BossJ 05-20-2020 06:53 PM

Reviving this thread

I'm also about to install a evo-r high wing - and am realizing I'm screwed because I have a 2016 Nismo and I have a very holey trunk. '

My question is - does the stock 2009 - 2019 370z trunk - fit the 2016 370z nismo?

cooltoy 05-20-2020 07:03 PM

Do you mean, as far as the shape of the trunk is concerned, or the number of holes?
