What's the purpose, besides looks? Is it functional? If so, at what speed? 64 dollar question--Was it wind tunneled tested?

I think the car looks bland without the spoiler. It definitely adds alot to the look imo.

We need a thread with all the different spoilers available to make an informed decision ;P)

I just did some B-road driving over the weekend... and the car desprately needs some down force!

Front and rear spoiler for functionality, ftw!

The standard rear sport spoiler has a cool line and I would love the get the Nismo rear fascia. The wheel vents are hot. I’m not crazy about the Nismo front fascia.

I really like the Ings spoiler myself. Could be a little shorter and then it would actually serve a purpose.

the factory spoilers hides that hard line on the hatch, not seeing that hard line makes it look too rounded to me

Overall, I think the Z looks cleaner without the spoiler. It also looks better without the spoiler, BUT... It depends on the angle that you look at it, and I think the type of wheels, exhaust and stance also help a lot. I also prefer the looks of that "hard line" on the hatch.

Then again, it's hard to find a 370Z that doesn't look good period.

The blackberry curve and iPhone 3 were the hottest phones and FarmVille was played by millions when this thread died.......for a very good reason. It didn't matter because they all looked great with aftermarket/oem/high wing/low wing or without.

cooltoy, NISMO IX and shirokenkami like this.

I actually like the way they look with or without them. Each has it's own merits in looks.
