Actually, you might want to contact them to see if they actually have either in stock. I hear they've been having supply issues on body parts for awhile now. So if either or both are unavailble, it may be a moot point.

They Are Having Large Supply Issues, Thats Why Im Buying Darrellbuddies, You Cant Get Them For A Long Time Now. We Should Ship Some Stuff To China For Molds To Be Made, It Would Probably Only Cost 50 Bucks A Spoiler Then

Wasn't that wing rated at something like 370 pounds of downforce at 100mph. But Nissan also advises you install a front air dam to counter the affects of the rear wing. Otherwise your front end might flyaway

Thas a good question... I'd like to do some custom fiberglass kits, but I dunno where to get clay that doesn't cost 2 arms & 3 legs! Maybe J knows?
I imagine auto engineers use expensive ****!

If you want to make a large part then I'd avoid clay. That ish is expensive no matter what. For smaller stuff or to do some fine shaping I used Klean Clay. It's available at most fiberglass supply shops. Foam is a much less expensive alternative to using clay. And it's not too difficult to work with. You can get expanding foam and make large chunks of foam to use for carving parts from scratch. If you want to add something like making a fender wider you can use sheets of foam adhesesed to the part and then carved to a rough shape. If you want to make something small bondo works good to shape slight shape differentiations. Clay is messy and no fun to work with when detail is important. I prefer rough shaping foam and then covering it with bondo and final shaping the bondo with a sander. For Klean Klay try www.shopmaninc.com or www.fiberglast.com
