Spoiler Choice

Hey Guys Youve All Seen Pics Of My Car, What Kind Of Spoiler Do You Think Is Appropriate For The Stlye I Got Going,(trans Am Ish) I Would Paint It Charcoal As Well. The Standard Fiberglass Wing From Msa Is Out Of Production Along With Anything From Wings West. (my First Choice) I Was Kinda Thinkin Of One Of Those Aluminum Rear Wings, Like The Early Z Photo In Msa's Catalogue. All Opinions Welcome Please. I Dont Know Might Be Ricey

I personally like the whail tail like Icice9 has.... I also like my "F40" wing from MSA. But if you're talking about those aluminum rice rocket airplane wings... PLEASE DO NOT RICE OUT YOUR Z!

Problem Is Most Of Those Great Choice Wings Arent Available Due To The Buying Of Wings West, I Cant Get Any Spolier From Msa. If At The End Of This Concentrated Survey Anybody Has A Used Wing And Might Just Want To Sell It, I Would Be Most Definatly Interested.

EDIT: i need as much input as possible

well aint that cheap see jay should have stayed in business and had started to build some wail tails and F 40 wings and he would have been making a killing so i guess its up to us now to figure out how to make wings.

I've really grown to like the subtle Twin Turbo spoiler on my Z32... I would like something similar for the S130. Just big enough to be noticed but not so big it takes away from the rest of the car.

i say go with the ZX-R wing like mine... youve already got the front to look like the newman sharp electromotive 280ZX.. i think the rear wing would finish it off... or you could try to find a duck tail for it.. i remember back in the 80's a ton of 280ZXs had them but now there so hard to find...

Well I know shady280 doesn't have a 2+2, I was just curious. Is the backend that different that it won't fit?

The back end of a 2+2 is that much different that any spoiler not specifically made for the 2+2 will not fit.

In the case of the ZXR spoiler, it may stick right onto the rear hatch fine, but due to the different angle of the back hatch, your flat 'wing' out back will be almost horizontal! It'll look VERY stupid...

I have a plan for what spoiler I'm using for my 2+2 though....

Ill Buy The Whale Tail Spoiler Of Of You Darrelbuddy, Just Pm Me Some Info And Well Get On With This, I Want A Spolier For This Summer. Msa Cant Get Anything Made By Wings West, They Got Bought Out And Now There Waiting For A Production Run That Might Not Happen. You Can Still Get Xenon And The Other Brand Stuff, That And Old Stock.

I Still Need Another Whale Tail For The Bob Sharp Race Car Though.

Do You Guys Think The Spoiler Should Be Charcoal Or Silver, I Was Going To Paint The Power Buldge On My Hood Charcoal As Well When I Got Spoiler. What Do You Think.

Looks like a genuine ZXR wing is up for sale on Ebay right now, currently at about $50 (though the reserve's not met). Ebay was how I got mine, so I wonder how much it'll go for this time.
