EVO-R 370Z Highwing

Here is a quick Iphone pic. Just installed the Evo R wing today. What a PITA taking the old wing off. Not super impressed with the quality of this wing.

I just took the plunge and bought it as the price was right. $500 vs $2000+ No brainer really. It arrivevd the other day! I Hope it looks good with the Nismo kit.
Can't wait to see it on your car. Post some pics when it's done.

Why don't you like the quality of the spoiler? Is it noticeably cheap?

Its not obvious unless you really look at it. But there are indentations near the center of the wing on the bottom portion where the molds met. It required a lot of sanding, and that part in the center could not be sanded out....It doesnt look horrible or anything, just could be better.

Did you do the install yourself?

Did you use double sided tape on the base where it attaches to the hatch?

Does it require to be assembled (top part) before it gets installed on the hatch?

I used double sided tape to keep it from rattling or moving. Yes the top part has to be installed before it attaches to hatch

It only cost me $200 for the set, I heard a lot of people charge more, but I don't know. Painting chips really easy. Powder Coating they actually put the wheels in a oven and bake it on. It will not chip.
