Duckbill
 

Hey guys, I'm really thinking that I "need" a carbon duckbill and I was planning on having it painted MB to match. Now I know what you are thinking... Why would you paint over the beauty of the carbon, but I'm just very picky that things match.

That being said I'm considering just leaving it carbon but it seems like it would be out of place with no other exposed carbon pieces.

Does anyone have a MB painted car with a carbon wing I could see a picture of ? Thoughts in general ?

Thanks !

Personally I love the duckbill spoiler, with that being said...
Why would you want to go with a carbon spoiler, if your going to paint it?? For one FRP is half the price and half the weight as wet carbon.. No one will know the diffrence if it's painted... Just my $0.02...

Where can i buy one of these?

We have vendors, look up aerojacket.

Such a sexy wing painted or carbon I'm in love with it.

Here is my duckbill I got it from aerojacket painted....I had them paint the bottom of it black and on top the black fades out to carbon fiber it looks pretty clean ...hope this helps

Rican can you pm me some full body shots of you Z!

i dont know how to pm pics but here are some links!!

Duckbill
 

Here are some pics of my cf add-on spoiler. It's not the "duck bill" but it's has a similar shape. If you already have a factory spoiler I think it goes better with the factory rear bumper. Only problem is I can't remember where I got it. They may not make it anymore. If your interested, pm me and I'll find out and let you know.

Does it install in existing sport spoiler holes or did you have to drill?

It adds on to the existing spoiler, so you have to drill into it.

This isn't painted, correct ?

Correct.

No drilling with the Carbon Signal Type-N. :tup:

Is that a Mine's spoiler?

mine's the mine's CF spoiler. looks great on my car, but on a darker car the duckbill appears to look better as the duckbill stands out.

and it's an original design so that gets a :tup:

To each their own. I think the duckbill looks best with the amuse rear bumper because they both extend further backward. On the stock bumper I think the profile looks a little silly. The 3/4 and rear view look great though. Just my .02

Here are few of mine. I think it looks great. I am doing this from work and don't have the best pictures here but I hope it helps.

my duckbill replaces the factory spoiler completely!!!...and they i had to drill the holes because my car didn't come with spoiler!!

Went from no spoiler to 4 holes and this thing.

far angle.

Same one I have, great wing!

Adds such a nice contour to the Z without being overly aggressive and the finish in CF is just beautiful.

Also no drilling that fact that it slides right on top of the stock spoiler and you can use 3m to hold it...brilliant

Duckbill on CF. Such a waste to get it painted. Maybe a portion but not the entire spoiler. Just got mine a few weeks ago.

is this aerojacket? first pic doesnt expend to full size do you, may i have another?

ok, i'm confused a but somoene said that it mounts on top of sport spoiler....a 3rd brand? (as opposed to aerojacket and carbonsignal)

I think they said the cs type n spoiler mounts on top of the sport spoiler as well as the mines

It is the aerojacket. Here is a better pic for you.

Is this aerojacket type3?

yep ^^

Bringing this thread back - anyone try the Ikon duckbill? I like how it doesn't stick out as much as other options. Wondering about fitment and different angled photos (online ones from Ikon are pretty limited in viewing angles).

There's this seller on ebay, Xpert Tuning, which sells the Ikon style duckbill pre-painted in any OEM color:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Fits-09-18-...53.m1438.l2649

So hoping there are some positive feedback people here can provide.

Since you're posting here and not a new thread, I assume your mind isn't fully made up yet, I can provide some insight on the regular duckbill. IMO the duckbill doesn't stick out that far and really compliments the car. From the side it looks kinda big but all other angles look fine.

I went with the duckbill from Dar, out of Texas. They paint your spoiler as well and then ship it to you. They had great service and even sent me a replacement at no cost since mine had a defect. You can find more duckbills and guidance on my thread http://www.the370z.com/exterior-inte...e-spoiler.html

Hey, thanks for the reply. I did look at the DAR one as well, but the side profile bothers me personally, with the way it looks big. I also considered the Mine's spoiler add-on, but it wasn't enough, and so the Ikon one "seems" to be the in-between I've been looking for. I just haven't been able to find a side-profile shot of it, as well as any feedback on fitment.

I have a base model z with no spoiler and was considering installing a duckbill myself. Did the aerojacket come with a template for install? Sounds promising since it only required 4 holes vs the 11 on the oem spoiler.

With or without the template, you'd still have to eyeball it and ensure the template or duckbill are lined up evenly, using the hatch's brake light. If it doesn't have a template, have another person help you, on person holds the spoiler or template, and once aligned evenly, the other person uses painter's tape to outline the corners, top and bottom.

Look up 350z and 370z duckbill install videos on YouTube. There are also plenty who simply used 3m tape and didn't drill any holes. If you opt for this, ensure you prep properly, and get those 3m adhesion promoter wipes, they sell them in packs of 3 on Amazon for like $10.Sent from my SM-N920W8 using Tapatalk
