But hey, if it's just a bit of a look that you're after, then yes, smaller is less "ricey" and just cleaner IMO.

I'm more of a drumstick man so drumstick it!

I vote for the Amuse wing. If you're going to wing it, wing it.

I went back and forth with this one also. In the end, NO spoiler/wing.

And I do say, I really prefer the subtle lines WITHOUT one.

And the hatch has such a sweet bump to it, which get's kind of hidden when the rear spoiler is added.

also, I might end up with less tickets in the long run, because it's a bit more stealthy!

to me, it's a no brainer: since a wing costs more money, if you are undecided then don't get it.

if you really like it then get it.

No problems to report with the nismo wing, nissan claims 150lbs of downforce but that hasen't been proven one way or the other, that might just be how much it weighs.

IMO wings are more of an athestetic thing on production cars, no one really needs one even if you do track the car. I do wish the nismo wing was a little smaller though. I think the Z looks a little silly without at least the sport package spoiler on the back end. Just my $.02

The S-Tune is a great addition..totally changes the look of the car. I love it. I was lucky to not have a wing at all before the install so I didn't have to worry about the holes matching up. And it's not expensive at all.

I'm definitely in the anti-spoiler camp. They very rarely look good. They're called "spoiler" for a reason... The car looks best with no spoiler, in my opinion.
