I decided to just have them install it for $80 which isn't bad.

Nice TJ! Did you ever install the rear bumper?

Nice!

Cant wait to see what it looks like with the new wing :tup:

Ive been thinking about doing more aero.. but i need to focus. Im behind on my FI goals :shakes head:

Love the old TT 300zx i see there! My father had the NA 300zx from 1992-2009, when i purchased mine right after he sold his!

Can't wait to see your wing installed, TJ.

And does anybody happen to have a template for this wing? I'm gonna be installing mine soon and I'm nervous as hell without one right now.

Shop called this afternoon. They claim to have had issues removing all the double sided sticky from the stock spoiler and have some tool marks (scratches) that they want to fix.

Also they say that the EVO-R wing does not completely cover the old outline of the stock spoiler. And its obvious where the old spoiler was removed. So they need to clean that up.

Long story longer i may not get my car until Monday now. I told them i had a car show on Saturday but its my fault i pushed everything so close, so don't rush its ok.

no it doesn't... i mean it does cover the holes.. but the way the stock sport spoiler is shaped is comes down a bit further than the high wing, the nismo wing is the same it doesn't fit the same way as the stock spoiler, but it does cover all the holes

but the holes are on the center edage, does not go foward to the front tips

i know.. but the spoiler it self has tape and it probably left marks that the high wing does not cover... what the body wants to do is fix the hatch where the marks are... the high wing fits, but it doesn't completely cover the outline of the stock spoiler. Mine had light scratches on the hatch from when the body shop took the stock spoiler off... they where able to buff it out.

They had issues with mine as well. They had a very hard time removing the Sport Spoiler and they ended up snapping it in half trying to take it off! It ended up scratching the hatch so they had to repaint the hatch. It's been in the shop since Wed, should be done today!

Yeah I highly recommend you have a shop do the install.

Don't know why the hell Nissan has so many snaps and bolts holding the Sport spoiler down. It's so small. Why do they think it's going to come off easily? Two bolts and double sided tape would be enough to hold it down. Amazing.

Nitex 04-20-2012 12:18 PM

Great info guys, ill pass it on to the shop that they are not alone!

Looking great TJ mine may be done today as well. Waiting to hear back from the shop right now.

No kidding, wish they would have put some of that effort into fixing oil cooling or brake fade.. :shakes head:
