EVO-R High Wing

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.

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

Ok looks like just the push pin locations need to be filled. They are talking about filling it with some urathane to prevent leaks..

Also noted that the wing doesnt perfectly conform to the slope of the hatch. I think they just need to bolt the thing on instead of just holding it up there.

I put covers with silicone on my holes. The wing conformed better when i tightened all 4 bolts down.

Hey CC, how did you access the outer edge bolt holes in the hatch?

We are thinking about drilling a small access holes to get at the outer attach points.

Quick teaser pic, wont be finished till monday.

Picked up the Z. I am very happy.

WOW TJ that looks amazing! You have me sold. I'm looking to do a full Nismo Conversion myself and was trying to figure out how the rear spoiler would work, looks like there's a solution. How much was the paint and install?

Thanks, yes I think this looks great with the Nismo body kit. $600 for paint and install.

TJ, any idea if they bolted up the 2 most outer locations? or just the 4 bolts on each side of the brake light.

I payed $600 as well, but they touched up a few rock chips and painted my fangs black.

Also really quick is there a gap between the hatch and wing? Second pic from the bottom looks it may not be flush with the hatch. Could just be the angle and shadow.

^^ Looks great TJ! Definitely a better overall size than the stock nismo. It just fits the nismo rear much better IMO! Also did you attach the outer holes to the wing or just double sided sticky like CC? I was thinking about drilling small access holes in the hatch to attach at those points.

Unfortunately I'm waiting for the shop to repaint my hatch. That's what i get for not being able to get my car in the garage. I high center on my driveway ever since i lowered, and the weather is just ruining my paint. It was obvious when we compared the color under the stock sport spoiler to the surrounding paint

It will cost me a lot to redo my driveway. And I'm not sure what it takes if i have to modify the curb here in WA.

But i really need to get my car in the garage!

^^Wait, why are you getting your hatch repainted?

The paint under my stock spoiler was a different shade of PG due to sun damage from being outside for so long. The EVO-R high wing does not completely cover the outline of the old spoiler. Respraying the hatch is just to even out the color where hatch meets up to the EVO-R wing.

We did not bolt it up to see if it would have been tolerable. But a few scratches from removing the old spoiler pushed the decision to respray.

Looks like TJ had the same issue with the scratching.

There are some gaps on the edges. I don't think they bolted it at the ends.

I feel it may help pull those corners down a bit If I attach the ends.

Finally installed, the paint work turned out ok. Still needs more low, and more aggressive offsets. But first i need BRAKES!

Quick cell phone pics.. Ill bust out the 60D on a sunny day and get a detail for some better shots.
