Yep, that's it. The part that is impossible not to scrape going over a tall speed bump or angled driveway. Had to pop mine back in at the corners on numerous occasions.

Don't get coilovers and drop the car. Every day I consider just taking that damn thing off. I will be getting a new one from the accident repair. I should probably just take it off before I damage it too much.

We need to go back to the old days of car ordering. All cars were base, then you just ticked boxes to add the stuff on. Want leather seats and nothing else? Done!

I still have my original wrapped in plastic. Dealer never installed it. It was in the back, and the salesman had a tough time figuring it out when I asked what it was.

The dealer I purchased it from is quite a distance away so taking it there is no longer a viable option. Is it worth the trouble of installing, or should I just leave it off. My Z is a DD if that makes a difference.

I'd say, leave it off. There's a good chance mine won't stay on long. Unless someone very learned can explain why the air flow it creates is a benefit to leave it on.

My 14 sport has the chin spoiler but not the wind deflector rectangular blocks that are in front of each front wheel.

I believe it ensures zero lift at speed. Improves high speed grip.

Any difference on the struts of the base vs the sports package?
I know I read somewhere they have same part number?
Can someone verify? Thanks

Yup...I remember the old days when pretty much all cars came standard and if you wanted an automatic transmission you had to special order one and it cost more. Now its the total opposite...Auto Transmissions are standard features and standard features require the special ordering and extra $$$
