Original vs Chinese wing
 

I own a 2018 370z Nismo, and I want to replace the V2 Nismo spoiler with either a V1 Nismo spoiler, or a Voltex Type 8 Wing.

I am in the EU, so importing from USA costs a fortune. While looking at available wings, I also checked out the chinese parts manufacturers.

There are wet carbon V1 Nismo spoiler and a Voltex Type 8 Wing at half the price they are offered in the USA. Has anyone ordered and installed them?

Links and pics would help.

Voltex is from Japan, not sure why you'd want to go through the US when you can use Nengun/RHDJapan/Jesse Streeter to order them direct.

If you want a Nismo rep, Evo-R sells one that has/had good reviews or you can try Alibaba/AliExpress but make sure you use a verified supplier with a decent company history/reviews and easy returns.

Generally speaking is what I meant. I have looked into the alibaba and found those:

And

https://www.alibaba.com/product-deta..._1601391427118


Its mostly about the experience with such sellers. Fitment of aftermarket parts has been poor even with good reputation brands, so that is not a huge concern. Its more about visual, quality, and in the case of wings, performance compared to the "original" aftermarket.

EVO-R is the closest you will get to a Nismo wing. However keep in mind that the end plate tips on EVO-R are at a different angle then OEM Nismo wing. EVO- R is also taller. Probably the same on Alibaba wings.


PS. Links don't work.

Voltex V8 Alibaba

Nismo Variant

Those are the two options style wise I consider at the moment.

No comment on the first one.


The second one is just like EVO-R Wing.

You're not getting an authentic Voltex wing from Alibaba

If you want to get an authentic Voltex wing, you need to go through an actual distributor or someone connected in Japan. RHD Japan, Nengun, Jesse Streeter are established options.

Here is the official list of distributors from Voltex's site:

Since the V1 Nismo was sold in Europe, you may be able to find a used wing somewhat close to you. Check with your local used parts dealers.

The knockoff V1 wings sold by EVO-R (or under other labels) have the same general shape but the ends angle more sharply downward. Now that I have an authentic and know the difference, the knockoff looks goofy to me.

I echo others that are baffled why you're looking at US prices.

Truth. I never paid attention until this thread. Replica is slightly taller with a steeper end plate angle.

I've seen the replica in person and the differences are even more noticeable imo

could be that i have a Nismo one and live with it

Once you've taken the red pill, you can never go back to the blue pill.
