Our visibility is shyt as is. I wouldn't want to compromise my vision any further.

m4a1mustang 01-20-2013 10:29 AM

Horrible. There is a PW in my town that has those. When you are behind it the profile of the car looks like dumbo the elephant.

forza370z 01-20-2013 10:36 AM

The Z is too fast, it needs something like that to slow it down. BTW, does this thing whistles too when the car is moving?

15 only? We all know the power output of this thing can be increased to 17 with a carbon fiber wrap.

Thank god it says "non-functional' Anyone know when the functional ones will be available? That rear side glass gets hot.

GaleForce 01-20-2013 12:12 PM

@$%# I just bought a set... What do Now?!?!?

sparky 01-20-2013 01:18 PM

Maybe this is a dumb question but it looks like they cover part of the door window as well. Does this mean they're attached to the door and just cover the quarter window when closed? If so I can see them getting snapped off when the door is open in no time. :ugh2:

My thoughts exactly.... How do you open your doors? :icon14:

Lemers 01-20-2013 02:01 PM

Look again at your Z with the window down. The scoop covers to the edge of the B pillar.

To each their own. If someone likes them on the car, then ok

DEpointfive0 01-20-2013 02:47 PM

Have you not seen this on the ZStore???
Lol

Most of their kit is ugly

bfowlzr33 01-20-2013 02:51 PM

They'd both fly off after a few trips down the highway. If someone actually bought these things, I'm sure it wouldn't make a difference in visibility though as I can already see nothing through those tiny windows unless I'm turned in some crazy position. I wouldn't put them on my z but I will say they don't look terrible.

luigi90210 01-20-2013 03:01 PM

id rather buy this for $150

wow, I am speechless.

travisjb 01-20-2013 07:56 PM

There is a use for this sort of thing... I pull air from this location to feed a rear diff cooler. Ideally, I'd run naca-style ducts which are more efficient, but I had a fabricator that wanted to do something with more 'profile'. Air pulled from this location can also used to circulate air back to driver in hot weather and cool rear brakes

Having said that, these look like a*s

UNKNOWN_370 01-21-2013 06:51 AM

This mod has shown up herefor criticism so many times... :ugh2:

PapoZalsa 01-21-2013 09:56 AM

There was one or two at ZdayZ 2012 Car Show and it look HORRIBLE!:barf:

Nailzs 01-21-2013 06:19 PM

Those "things" remind me of those freaking AWFUL roof scoops that's on the cars in The Fast And The Furious movies.
