no, it does sound interesting......

someone else was asking about them the other week. They are just getting into the 370. The splitter linked is made from coated 1/2" plywood, and it's for the V2 Nismo bumper.

Yeah I just like their mounting method better then the APR which is to the bumper plastic. I don't think my flimsy Stillen bumper could hold up to the added down force.

I like their mounting method too. It gave me some ideas.

I have their full aero kit on my miata for endurance racing. Quality parts with some real thought and engineering behind them. Install will be mostly DIY. Don't expect complete instructions, do expect to have to do some not insignificant fitment on your own.

The APR splitter is worse. No instructions and you're on your own.

I run their wing and like it, after some minor hatch reinforcements.

I've also talked to the guy that ran their splitter for the 370Z and he confirmed it makes a lot of downforce, and it definitely needs additional support rod mounting.

The wing didn't stall out even at higher AoA taken at highway speeds. This AoA did stall on me at Road America yesterday at 120 plus, so I'll be running lower AoA. I was mainly focusing on getting familiar with the track so didn't make any car adjustments that day, and my settings were from a much slower, tighter Blackhawk Farms trackday.
