Good afternoon Z people. My Carbon Signal Type N duck bill add on wing got delivered today. I did a really quick test fit and it fits well and looks pretty good. The one thing that I don't really like is the noticeable step from the factory wing to the add on wing since it sits on top of the old one. It slightly bothered me in the pics and does so in real life as well. I am considering either having it molded onto factory wing or perhaps getting a FRP factory replica to mold it to. That way I do not mess up my factory wing for potential future sale back in original condition. Any thoughts are welcome.......other than shipping my wing to you that is

Unless you have it molded into the factory spoiler, there is no way to avoid the step. It's really no different from the Porsche ducktails of the 70's.

Being it's contrasting carbon fiber, the step is irrelevent to me. If your's is FRP, then molding it into the factory spoiler makes perfect sense and would look great.

I've gotten nothing but compliments from everyone who has seen it, including my dealer's bodyshop manager.

Whatever you end up doing, I'm confident you are going to love the spoiler. It's one of my favorite mods so far.

Good Morning All.

Just a little torrential flooding rain and a tornado warning to deal with this morning here in Houston. It's kind of neat watching the storm move in from my office.

Only Z action though Thursday will be commuting. Friday is wash, polish, and wax day. Got two big Z Club functions this weekend (weather issupposed to be perfect), and I want the ride looking prime.

I'll be able to update the avatar too. The lift from the stock springs from the Tanabes looks great to me. I am changing out the 20mm rear spacers to 10mm.

Mine is FRP but I am thinking about painting it matte black rather than matching the color. This is so that it will match the front lip and side blades that I will install at the same time. I know if I install it as intended the mattle black will look pretty good other than the small step that only slightly bugs me. If I had it molded I think it will looker cleaner but I am not sure if black would be the way to go anymore. I have some time to think about it as I have other fish to fry before I install all of my body mods. Thanks for feedback
