My buddy and I are going to make a proper spoiler for this car hopefully this year. I don't like any of the ones offered right now. I just wouldn't drill holes in that nice 370 *** for any of the currently offered rear wings.

I voted yes but only if you're gonna keep it stock.
If you want to modify the exterior down the line, I'd say wait so you won't have to worry about covering the holes in your hatch.

No spoiler here. Not a question of money or ease with waxing (have it done). I just prefer the rich and full look of the Z's back end without complicating it with the spoiler. The crease at the top of the hatch serves the purpose. I've ordered or added spoilers for most of my other cars. I usually like the look. But not on the Z---for me. As it is said, though, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder." So go with whatever makes you smile the widest.

I like the stock spoiler for the coupe - but as I have a roadster there is not a lot out there. I was a simple, subtle lip spoiler.

I guess i'll have to try my had at fiber glass at some point.

A car without a spoiler is like brazilian. Smooth and no downforce. Seriously though, the Z needs one.

I like it better without the spoiler there. Just like the lines better.

I enjoy the lines without the spoiler, it just flows so nicely in my eyes.

I thought about buying one when I first purchased Big Booty Judy, but in the end couldn't pull the trigger and I am happy I didn't!

Can't call her Big Booty Judy if the booty is ruined (in my opinion) with a spoiler.:tiphat:

Maybe this might help, a couple of co-workers (non Z owners) who have seen my car made this comment. "The spoiler & rims really make the car, the other Z's without the spoiler looks bare". I also believe that having a spoiler on at time of resale will make it more attractive to a potential buyer than one that doesn't.

There may be some who don't have one that wish they did or at least wondering whether to get one.....like me! I totally agree though with what your co-workers said. Also, I haven't heard of anyone who has one that wished they didn't so that says something.

If they can get the paint to match, go for the spoiler.

to the OP, i agree with a couple of other posters that without the spoiler it just looks like something is missing. so the sport spoiler or the sport + add on spoiler look best to me.

however, i can't stand the high wing spoilers like the nismo or amuse (one of the reasons i could never get an sti/evo). just personal preference so no offense to those with them. :tiphat:

Totally agree with the high wing spoilers. I never liked them. My guess is that most of us "senior citizens" would agree. I really have to laugh when I see them on old Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas but then again, I can't argue with personal preference. I'm sure many people think that a yellow Z looks like a mini school bus. To each his/her own!

I'm pretty sure you guys mean Chicane Yellow :tup:

uhhhh yup! I was just toying with the "Canary Yellow". I'm assuming that he was just toying with me. Then again..................

Chuck33079 06-14-2013 11:34 AM

I'm not a senior yet, but I'm in the "no big wing" camp with you. I took mine off my sti almost immediately.

Keeping it "real".....i.e. stock!

It comes already painted from the factory.

The Results Are In
 
Okay guys....thank you all for your votes and opinions. Much appreciated! Out of 88 votes so far, 66 of you said yes, 12 of you said no. Although it's not the 90% I was looking for, it's close enough at 84%. Bottom line is that I like the looks with the spoiler also. I just needed that extra push from my 370Z forum brothers to go ahead. I'll be putting my order in for it soon and will post before and after pics when done. Thanks guys! :tup:
