The issue with removing the stock wing, once u remove the 4 bolts, is that not only is it held.down by some pretty intense double sided tape but it also has 7 huge clips!!!

Thanks! Luckily for me, my bodyman/custom car shop guy lives next door to me. :) Now that you shown me this I won't take the old one off without him. He's been a Z fan for years and kind of informally specializes in them. I'm hoping he'll have a trick up his sleeve to get this off in one piece. He's already got a trick for the headlights I haven't seen before to open them up with an infra-red light. Hopefully he has one for the spoiler! :)

LostSol 10-17-2013 10:06 AM

Its possible to remove the stock spoiler intact, but very very difficult.

In for more pics of that wing!

Luciano13 10-17-2013 01:33 PM

more to come once i have the hatch all cleaned up

Don't forget, depending on which wing go with.... U will have 2-4 holes that will need to be filled. That's only the front. There will be 5 additional holes on top, but most wings cover this. I still recommend filling them to prevent water entering the hatch....

zefaulter 10-17-2013 08:16 PM

That's a lot of holes! Car looks great!

The funny things is that with all 9 pre- holes, not one out of 4 bolts on the new wing lined up with the old ones:roflpuke2:

Boomer370 10-18-2013 11:41 AM

Looking good!

DatsunFTW 10-18-2013 11:58 AM

The wing looks good! Haven't seen it on a Z before but I like it :tup:

Thanks Meulen:hello:
I was a little sceptical about the all the different pieces but i think she's coming together quite nicely. She's a real must see in person to get the full affect:tup:
Pictures do not do justice......

zefaulter 10-21-2013 11:18 PM

Very nice, sir!

Hahahahahhahah dealerships!!!!
 
Today i took my newly carbon fibered Z to the dealership for the season end oil change and maintenance.... Time wasn't that long of a wait. I hear my car being started, so i get up, thinking she's ready.... Im waiting, waiting and waiting.... Now i know it was my car cause of the district exhaust notes. I then see 2 mechanics going into the manager's office... The manager then calls me in. Im thinking, Oh oh.. Did They find something wrong??:icon14:
No!! They ripped my new front carbon lip off cause one of the mechanics forgot to slide out one of the anchors it sits on, the bolts caught the lip while in reverse and shattered the carbon in 3 pieces:barf::bs::facepalm::barf::bs::mad:
