You've got to be kidding man. Dang that thing is hideous.

864Zbeast 05-09-2012 10:49 PM

...is that a joke? Please say so
The 370 doesn't deserve to look like a ricer. That wing belongs on a Honda. I'm sorry OP I never put negative comments on here, but this is deserving.

Alexshen1 05-09-2012 10:54 PM

dude me too imagine flying with this wing

delusional 05-09-2012 10:56 PM

agree with everyone. that thing is hideous... unless you're planning to track or something :ugh2:

ZMan8 05-09-2012 11:04 PM

that wing just looks bad (IMO) on an otherwise stock car. Way too big, and way too aggressive. It also looks heavy so you probably are just hurting performance. I recommend something more subtle, depending on how aggressive the rest of the car is set up.

Red_Lionn 05-10-2012 12:31 AM

idk, i think it looks good.. it gives it a agressive look. Thats what im shooting for, unless you guys have any other spoilers in mind. I have the original spoiler on it right now painted black. My brothers car has a big wing on it too thats why i was on the same road of getting one too. Does it really look that bad?

Its hella functional. :tup:

IF you want the Kognition wing you need to contact Kognition themselves since its no longer listed on their site you would need to have them custom make you one.

you can do so here ---> kognitiondesign.com/wings

For those of you saying its heavy.... its actually not but thats because it is a true race wing. All of Kognitions wings are 100% Vacuum infused Carbon Fiber. It was not created to roll around the streets with and instead was designed and meant for serious track users.

And on that note, please keep the negative comments to a minimum, the OP was asking where to get one, not what you thought of it. (not trying to be a **** ...im js)

for a race car I like it.. for the street nope

TopElement 05-12-2012 01:23 AM

It is a track wing, plain and simple. Anyone with good taste can not possibly think it looks good for a street car.
As for where to get one, it's a guy Mike making them and selling under the name Kognition. It is carbon fiber on the outside, but a bunch of aluminum glued inside. The only "custom" part are the mounts.
If serious about track use, there are lighter/stronger options...

SPOHN 05-12-2012 07:00 AM

Even though this is truely a funtional wing 100%. It's pretty aggressive, especially the brackets. If you want a more conservative looking/ functional wing I'd suggest the APR Performance GTC 200 univeral wing. Which is what I have. Below is several pics of my setup. The first set of pics is the wing itself when I first had it mounted. The second set is where I've just recently added 2.5'' riser to get the wing in cleaner air making more funtional. Plus this wing comes at a great price. Way more affordable than others while you still get funtion and looks IMO.

OP, Kognition still makes that wing element design that you can order, but unfortunately he no longer has the molds to make the 370Z specific mounts so if you want a Kognition wing you will have to find a place to get some mounts made for the 370Z or by that wing that you have in the picture, which is the only 370Z kit ever made by Kognition.

SPOHN 05-12-2012 01:13 PM

^ so what's your point? :bowrofl:

Huan'z 05-12-2012 02:22 PM

Well the point is on the photos!

Huan'z 05-12-2012 02:26 PM

The spoiler not just only for heavy track or racing. Absolutely no no no!! Well u can use it as a ladder. Like to reach something high (moving ladder???:))Or u can use it when u go concert sit on the spoiler then problem solve! Or turn your music on and stand on the spoiler then u on the stage. A lot of things can do on this spoiler. Interesting..... Lol!


But the main thing to have this spoiler is Let the chicks sit on it.


Just kidding guys!! Just messing around. Lol!

You have to respect the engineering on that wing.

What is the engineering behind the wing? Most wings are copies of a NACA airfoil, just at different scales. Pretty sure Mike has even posted that.
As for the construction of it, cut one open and see. It's not that hard to build a wing someone can stand on...
Making mounts for any wing to fit on a 370z should be simple for any competent shop.

Using a modified NACA airfoil is way more 'engineering' than most wings on the market have.

WWJD 05-14-2012 12:13 AM

The design of Kognition wing was based on the 2008 Williams F1 wing. It's actually better than most of the wings that come out from computer software. Just saying.

Rogue01 05-14-2012 05:42 PM

It would look fantastic on a stripped down, tricked out, GT spec Z but on a stock road car... Youll turn heads and then their tearducts will abruptly empty from laughter.

Nice....Curious of the quality and weight.Thats a good deal if its real CF.
Read the comments on this bid closely "Please note this item is a universal application product, therefore even we stated the car model in the compatibility list, it does not mean it will fit that car."

Yeah u right. But we still have a chance to ask one of the sponsor here and do a group buy on the mounting bracket!:)

This is it! You need more parts to pull it off.
