Correct me if I'm wrong [for I don't own a Z, though I am going to save for one] but the 280ZXR came with a stock spoiler similar to this one. It is suggested that you have a front air dam to compensate for the downforce though.

Not bad for a n00b huh? One whole day of research pays off

Nice ride Isaac, I gotta save up to buy a 280... I've always loved the way they look and from the couple that I've seen, you can get a good amount of power under the hood! Hopefully next year...
