Spoiler or no spoiler?

kdoske · 07-19-2009, 11:18 PM

I like it with or without really. I have the touring without the sport package I am considering the spoiler. I have to be honest I like it just as much without though...

dad · 07-19-2009, 11:23 PM

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.

FricFrac · 07-19-2009, 11:59 PM

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

Bster · 07-20-2009, 02:59 AM

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!

Totally with! It just isn't right without one :P

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.

sothayoth · 11-17-2016, 11:44 PM

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

aerojacket's duckbill is spot on for me....
one day I will have it, one day.

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.

i have a pearl white sport hatch i will trade for a spoilerless

kenchan · 11-18-2016, 08:13 AM

the 370z requires a spoiler.. and a lip like the mine's.

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