To wing or not to wing...
 
What's your choice?

1 - Stock wing

2 - Nismo OEM wing

3 - Nismo s-tune wing

Also does anyone know if the wings all use the same mounting pattern?

Also to those that have the Nismo wings, do you have any specific likes/dislikes about them?

Do the OEM nismo wings move/vibrate at high speeds?

kenchan 10-17-2009 07:46 PM

Sport package wing is a nice size.

Mike 10-17-2009 08:28 PM

read in another post yesterday that the S-tune wing uses different mounting holes and leaves some exposed if you have the touring wing.

sport pkg.

Red370 10-17-2009 08:37 PM

are you doing it for looks or a practical use?

Darkstar87695 10-17-2009 08:38 PM

Sport Package... S-tune has to be re-drilled and i just plain dont like it

vReath 10-17-2009 10:34 PM

i have no complaints with the nismo spoiler. view in the rear view mirror isn't that bad either, ive gotten used to it. one thing that i do like about the spoiler is that it blocks the head lights of the cars behind you :tup:

as far as vibrations or anything at high speeds, i haven't heard/felt anything - my friend said we were going 110.

kgreen 10-17-2009 11:09 PM

with ur kit and wheels u should go with the NISMO OEM wing..

Pointman 10-17-2009 11:22 PM

Big wings = big rice:stirthepot:

I don't know if I'm doing it at all, I'm just looking for member feedback at this point.

I'm more curious to if you can see a subtle vibration in your rear view. I had a cobalt ss with the big wing and it would vibrate. It wouldn't make any noise but I could see it ever so mildly bouncing in the rear view. It use to drive me crazy...

KillerBee370 10-18-2009 12:24 AM

What's the point? A "wing" should serve a purpose. Especially if you're going to add one after the fact. I doubt any of the above mentioned wings actually provide any sort of realistic usable downforce. I do ocassional hot lapping and am quite ok with the subtle "sport" wing that is attached to my car but if I were to frequent the track on a regular basis or get serious about lap times etc., then I would be investing in something larger and more funtional for such use.

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 haven't seen it vibrate and i DD my car. if it ever happens, hope it doesnt, i'll let you know. hopefully some other nismo owners can chime in as they've probably had theirs for a longer.

I couldnt agree more, why add additional weight when it doesnt serve a purpose? If I got a spoiler, it would be one that served an actual purpose and had adjustable settings to tune the downforce.

av370 10-18-2009 04:06 AM

Wing it. it DOES serve a purpose= keeping it from ulgy.

RedComet 10-18-2009 05:44 AM

This should have been a poll. S-Tune it my friend.

JungleB 10-18-2009 06:42 AM

Sports package.

Big wings look silly.

I thought the same but I thought I would get more feedback without the poll.

Thanks for your feedback.

thats your personal opinion, but IMHO, a spoiler without purpose is ugly. To each their own.

Smallywood 10-19-2009 05:15 AM

Still looking for more opinions...

Steven 10-19-2009 06:00 AM

I bought mine because it had no wing.. i dont like the "sport" pkg wing at all.

thats just me though.

Mines looks great except for the exposed mounting hardware, completely ruins the look in my opinion...

FuszNissan 10-19-2009 07:45 PM

Why not get the hardware powder coated problem solved.

I had actually considered the wing painted factory color, but I dont like the dips in the wing where it mounts either.

FuszNissan 10-19-2009 08:16 PM

I am thinking of keeping the CF look, but powder coating the bolts black to match.

I think that would look good, especially with your black wheels.

dalparadise 02-10-2010 01:50 PM

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

the government requires a driver license for people who drive a car without a wing but for people who drive a car with a wing, they need a pilot license :)

topcarbon 02-10-2010 03:35 PM

I have my license
