I think it just makes the roadster look so much better & it stands out from all the ones without. I haven't seen another roadster with a spoiler, but I haven't seen too many other roadsters either.

I completely agree. I think the Roadster needs the spoiler. It takes away the bubble butt look.

I've seen one other Roadster on the road. I've only seen a few Coupes since '12 when I actually started looking for them. Ford sold more Mustangs in February than Nissan has sold 370Z Roadsters to date. Total 370Z sales are less than a year of Mustangs. These are rare cars and I'm ok with that. Nissan probably isn't as happy about it as I am.

I'm not sure how adding more bulk to the rear end improves the bubble butt look, but hey to each his own. I think the black vinyl wrap on the small section surrounding the tailpipes does more to reduce that, at least on colors other than black or black cherry. I've been contemplating that lately. Definitely agree it has a bit of Beyonce going on back there.

Just added some Rohana's now I need to add spacers. Not sure if I need a camber kit? I ordered one just in case. I'm lowered on eibachs. Anyone know if I'm still in specs or I will I definitely need the camber kit?

Ah, but put a short flipped up skirt on Bouncey's butt and it looks less bad.

Maybe it's just me?

You might want to look at these links

DIY: Finally Installed The STILLEN G3 Intake today! Lots of Pics inside (AK370Z)

You could ask your question on this link & probably get an answer there.

I added a spoiler to the back of mine and I think it's a big improvement!!

Looks great, enjoy. Now you need to get rid of that long antenna.

If you are using AM/FM then you probably will want to keep the original antenna. The smaller ones will give a decrease in reception for AM/FM. If you use satellite then the short ones work fine.

I have one of the 3" "carbon fiber" antennas. It isn't actually carbon fiber and it isn't actually an antenna. For an antenna to work it has to have a wire, or some form of metal in it. These are just decorative plastic tubes.

I don't tune off of satellite unless I must. I've gotten used to it and when I do have to listen to good old "radio" I tend to twitch. I've ordered a replacement for the 3" antenna, which came apart just above its base. The new one is only about 3/4" long. No bigger than the base of the one I have. It's due here Wednesday. It'll suck as an antenna but it should look good.

So, if you are interested in good looks, go shopping for antennas on fleabay. If you want reception, as OldGuyFla suggested, stick with the OEM.

Your alignment guy will be able to tell you if you're within specs or need the camber kit when they perform an alignment the car. Have you taken your car in for an alignment after you had the springs put on?
